Ashes 2023: Harry Brook gets dismissed in bizarre fashion on Day 1 of Edgbaston Test; Watch video

Of all the ways Harry Brook would have thought of being dismissed, it wouldn’t have crossed his mind that the ball would hit his body, go for a toss, and then hit right back at the stumps. This is how bizarre his dismissal was on Friday on the first day of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

In the 38th over of the first innings, Brook was looking well set at 32 when he tried working Nathan Lyon’s delivery on the legside, but he could not get his bet on it and instead, the ball hit his waist and went up in the air before falling back inside the crease and hitting the stumps.

A freak dismissal.
