The second day of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Headingley showcased a mix of anticipation and disappointment for Harry Brook. As the clock approached 7pm, Brook seemed poised to secure his 11th Test century, a milestone he has been chasing for over a year.

Having narrowly missed out on a century by just one run against India the previous summer, Brook's hopes soared when he was gifted a life early in his innings. However, with 91 runs to his name, disaster struck. Attempting to push a delivery from Ali Usman through mid-wicket, Brook instead ended up losing his wicket, leaving him frustrated in the dressing room.

Despite Brook's misfortune, England's position remained strong, bolstered by significant contributions from:

• Jordan Cox: 73 runs
• Joe Root: 66 runs
• Dan Lawrence: 51 runs

At stumps, England stood at 366 for eight, establishing a lead of 195 runs. With the match still ongoing, the prospect of achieving victory within three days remains tantalizingly within reach for the home side.
