Brook's hoodlum hundred deserves to sit in its own brilliant square of light
Briefly

The Test match between England and India showcased drama influenced by weather conditions, resulting in an intense competition where England needed 35 runs and India sought four wickets on the fifth day. Players relied on determination as they battled harsh elements. Harry Brook’s remarkable score of 111 was a highlight of the match, praised for its brilliance regardless of the outcome. The narrative of the game was steeped in tension and excitement, culminating in anticipation for the final day and a reflection of the dynamic Bazball approach.
As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods of fifth-day stewarding costs. They lead us on, whiz us into a frenzy, and drag us back the next day for their sport.
England need 35 runs, India four wickets, one of those the single swishing arm of the injured Chris Woakes.
Brook's 111 deserves to sit alone in its own brilliant square of light, innocent of all outcomes.
Victory would probably nudge it up as the greatest on this ground in the modern age, or at least up there with Kevin Pietersen's 153.
