Amid a high-stakes first Test between England and India at Headingley, England opener Ben Duckett sent shockwaves around the field after a wild throw struck his own teammate, Harry Brook, in a jarring accident that stunned players and spectators alike.
The moment unfolded after Rishabh Pant edged a ball behind the wicket. Duckett, stationed at short point, snatched up the ball and hurled a powerful throw toward the stumps, only for it to slam into Brook’s ribs instead. Brook collapsed in visible pain, with England keeper Jamie Smith and others reacting in concern, before Brook was helped off the field for treatment.
Thankfully, after a brief pause, Brook returned to play, alleviating fears of a serious injury. The accident was a moment of concern for both squads, prompting a short break in play. Both teams’ dressing rooms visibly winced, with Indian players showing empathy alongside the home side. Stokes, leading his men, will hope this doesn’t derail England’s efforts as India nears a commanding total.
