Harry Brook scores 50, dropped twice in England innings

Harry Brook experienced an eventful innings on the opening day of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord's. Brook was dropped twice by the New Zealand fielders during his time at the crease. Despite these let-offs, he managed to score 50 runs, hitting 10 boundaries in the process. His innings came to an end shortly after reaching his half-century when he was eventually caught. Separately, England's Josh Tongue dismissed New Zealand's Glenn Phillips with his first ball of the day, sending Phillips' off stump flying. Kyle Jamieson, 31, considered his 'career mortality' when a stress fracture of his back reopened where a screw from a previous operation was positioned in February 2024.
