IND vs ENG 5th Test: England's star batter Harry Brook had scored an unbeaten knock of 19 runs off 21 balls as he smashed a big shot during Prasidh Krishna's over during the second overs on Day 4. Brook mistimed the ball, and it went towards Mohammed Siraj, who was standing near the boundary ropes.

Siraj, who is considered the country's best fielder, did take Brook's catch brilliantly, but couldn't balance his body and his foot touched the boundary line when he was still holding the ball.

This shot might have led to Brook losing his wicket, but instead, it turned out to be a six.
