England middle-order batter Harry Brook was accidentally hit by a throw from teammate Ben Duckett during the first Test against India at Headingley in Leeds, but fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injury and returned to the field shortly after receiving treatment.
The incident occurred on the final ball of the 98th over when Brook was attempting to duck and avoid the throw, but it accidentally hit him on the back. He left the field for treatment, and the players took a drinks break after the incident. However, Brook returned to the field smiling and showing no signs of serious injury, which was a relief for the England team.
India had a strong batting performance, scoring over 350 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, with centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, and a half-century from Rishabh Pant. England captain Ben Stokes opted to bowl first, but the move backfired as India laid a solid foundation. The result of the match will depend on England's batting response, with Brook and other batsmen expected to play crucial roles.
The incident highlighted England's struggles in the match, and they will need to make a strong comeback to keep India below 500 and stay in the match. India, who won the toss and chose to bat, took advantage of the favorable conditions, with Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring centuries to reach 359-3 at stumps.
The match is expected to be closely contested, and England's batting performance will be crucial in determining the outcome. With Harry Brook back on the field and ready to bat, England will be hoping to make a strong comeback and challenge India's total.
