[WATCH]- Washington Sundar Breaks Through Again, Gets Harry Brook Stumped On Day 3

Off-spinner Washington Sundar once again stepped up for India, removing Harry Brook for a low score on Day 3 (Friday, July 25) of the ongoing fourth Test against England. The high-stakes contest is currently taking place at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, drawing plenty of attention from fans.

The dismissal came on the first ball of the 81st over, as Brook advanced down the pitch attempting an aggressive shot but was completely beaten by the drift. The ball went past the outside edge, allowing substitute wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel to execute a clean stumping.

England went into lunch in a dominant position at 332/2 after 74 overs, with Pope on 70 and Root on 63.

India finally broke the partnership after lunch when Washington Sundar removed Pope for 71 off 128 balls, with KL Rahul taking a sharp catch at first slip in the 77th over. Washington Sundar struck again just four overs later, dismissing Harry Brook for three in the 81st over.

At the time of writing, England were 360/4 after 87 overs, with Joe Root unbeaten on 83 and captain Ben Stokes on four.
