England batsman Harry Brook feels that India is experiencing some form of uncertainty in this Test series, especially in terms of setting difficult targets. Brook has made the statements as the current series of five matches is already at 2-1 in favor of England, with the fourth Test scheduled to start in Manchester. Brook drew particular attention to the strategy used by India in the earlier games, alluding to the fact that they were unwilling to allow England to attack, and thus it worked in the hands of the home team.
This observation from Brook highlights England’s growing confidence in the series. “We saw them set a ridiculous total for us at Edgbaston. They were a little bit scared of setting us a total that we could potentially get. So that played into our favour and gave us a lot of confidence as well, going into other games going forward,” he said.
Harry Brook’s Key Role
Harry Brook has played an important role in contributions that England has made thus far in the series. He has 314 runs at an average of 52.33 with one hundred so he will be looking to move on with his form and see to it that the series can be sealed in Manchester. He has been scoring runs regularly, which has been of great contribution to the success of England.
Nevertheless, India, in spite of injury and availability concerns, is a threat. They have shown to recover well under pressure on a few occasions and will be keen to restore parity in the series and shoot off the series to the decider in The Oval. The Fourth Test in Manchester should be a tense match, as both sides are in need of proof.
With the series entering the decisive phase, much to the delight of England, they will be looking forward to taking advantage of the uncertainty shown by India and bringing the match to their favor. According to Brook, what he said hints at the fact that England is already feeling confident about their possibilities, though they will have to keep their eyes and ears open and make the best out of anything that comes their way.
