Siraj vs Brook: Heated Exchange Erupts on Day 3 of Headingley Test-Watch
đLeeds, June 23, 2025 â Tensions ran high on Day 3 of the first India vs England Test at Headingley as Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj engaged in a verbal altercation with Harry Brook, one of Englandâs top performers in the innings. The exchange took place in the 84th over after Brook hit Siraj for consecutive boundaries, prompting a visible reaction from the bowler.
The face-off escalated after Siraj attempted a comeback with a sharp delivery that nipped in, followed by an intense stare and a few pointed words. Brook, unfazed, waved him off and gestured for Siraj to return to his run-up. Sirajâs aggressive tactics backfired, as Brook went on to smash a huge six over long-on, bringing up 18 runs in the over.
Siraj finished with 2/122, claiming key wickets of Ben Stokes and Brydon Carse, but remained expensive throughout. Meanwhile, Brook, in sublime touch, fell just short of a century, dismissed on 99 by Prasidh Krishna, who also picked up Jamie Smith but conceded 128 runs in his 20 overs.
A video of the Siraj-Brook spat has gone viral, capturing the tense moment that added spice to an already charged Test match. The battle, though lost momentarily by Siraj, brought entertainment and fire to the Headingley turf.
đ Whatâs Next?
India will hope to stretch their lead on Day 4 with KL Rahul (47*) and Shubman Gill at the crease, while England will eye early breakthroughs to regain control.
