IND Vs ENG, 5th Test: Ben Stokes' Reaction Goes Viral After Harry Brook Plays A Spectacular Sweep Shot; Video 

Harry Brook lit up Day 2 of the 5th Test between India and England at The Oval with one of the most jaw-dropping shots of the series, a wild sweep for six off Mohammed Siraj, but it was Ben Stokes’ stunned reaction in the dressing room that truly stole the show.

The moment came during a solid phase of England’s innings. Siraj fired in a full delivery right on the stumps, seemingly un-sweepable. But Brook, known for his bold strokeplay, lost his balance, fell forward, and still somehow managed to sweep the ball cleanly over deep fine leg for six, all while nearly lying on the pitch.

As the ball cleared the ropes, TV cameras cut to the England balcony, where Ben Stokes was left wide-eyed, mouth open in disbelief, clearly shocked and amused by what he had just witnessed. His reaction quickly went viral, perfectly capturing the awe many fans felt watching the shot in real time.

Brook’s outrageous six and Stokes' priceless expression summed up the unpredictable and entertaining nature of the ongoing series, once again proving why Test cricket can deliver moments that are as dramatic as any other format.

IND Vs ENG, 5th Test: Ollie Pope's Successful DRS Call Draws Applause From Ben Stokes As Yashasvi Jaiswal Departs Early; Video

England drew first blood in the final Test of the series at The Oval, as fast bowler Gus Atkinson dismissed India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for just 2 runs with a fiery delivery that crashed into the middle stump, thanks to a well-judged DRS call from captain Ollie Pope.

Bowling from around the wicket, Atkinson delivered one that jagged back sharply off a good length, angling in from outside off. Jaiswal, defending tentatively, brought his bat down at an awkward angle and was struck on the back pad. England appealed instantly for LBW, but the on-field umpire was unmoved.

There was an audible woody sound, prompting initial doubts, but Atkinson remained convinced, joined by enthusiastic voices from behind the stumps. Pope, equally confident, went upstairs for a review. On replay, it was clear: the bat and ball hadn’t connected. Instead, the ball brushed the front pad before thudding into the back pad.

Third umpire, after a brief check, confirmed no UltraEdge was needed. Ball tracking followed and it was damning for Jaiswal. Three reds lit up the screen as the ball was shown to be hitting middle stump. The on-field decision was overturned, and Jaiswal was sent back for 2 off 9 balls, leaving India at 10/1 in the early stages of the Test.

Captain Ollie Pope celebrated the successful review with a fist pump directed at the England dressing room, where injured talisman Ben Stokes, sidelined due to a shoulder issue, applauded the call. It was a moment of sharp captaincy and precise bowling, giving England the ideal start in a high-stakes encounter.
