Last 3 players to be dismissed for 99 in Test cricket
1. Harry Brook vs India, Leeds, 2025
England’s middle-order batter Harry Brook missed out on a well-deserved century in the first Test against India at Headingley, Leeds. Brook was dismissed for 99 off 112 balls by Prasidh Krishna. His innings was laden with 11 boundaries and 2 sixes, and was instrumental in reducing the deficit against a strong Indian bowling attack.
However, in his attempt to bring up the hundred with a six, Brook mistimed a hook shot off a short delivery and found Shardul Thakur at deep backward square leg, who completed the catch with ease.
