[WATCH] Injury Scare for England After Harry Brook Gets Hit in the Ribs From A Dangerous Ben Duckett Throw During ENG vs IND 1st Test

The England team were dealt an injury scare after a flat throw from Ben Duckett hit Harry Brook in the ribs during the ENG vs IND 1st Test.

The incident happened on the 98th over of the Indian innings, in the first session of Day 2 of the contest. The England white-ball captain looked hurt after being hit by the throw and immediately went down wincing in pain.

Rishabh Pant nudged the ball past the slips and quickly sprinted for a single to end Shoaib Bashir’s over. Ben Duckett, fielding at point, charged in and hurled a fierce throw attempting to run out Shubman Gill at the keeper’s end. Harry Brook, who had been positioned at slip, instinctively ducked to evade the flying ball but couldn’t as it struck him in the ribs.

As players stopped for the drinks break, Brook made his way to the boundary to get medical attention. Luckily for England, he returned to the field sporting a smile and reassuring that the impact wasn’t as serious.
