Brook scored a blazing century in 91 balls and played an important role in putting England in a strong position. At the same time, after him, Joe Root also did not delay at all in completing his century.
He scored the third century in the series. This was the 39th century of Root’s career and he has come at number four in terms of scoring the most centuries in the Test format. This right-handed star player was dismissed after scoring 105 runs.

On the fifth day, England will have to score 35 more runs to win and India will have to take 4 wickets. Jamie Smith (2) and Jamie Overton (not out) are at the crease.
