This incident is of the 22nd over of England’s second innings. Root played Southee’s first ball in the direction of the gully and ran to take the run. In the third slip, Mustaid Bracewell caught the ball running and threw it to the wicketkeeper Blundell. Blundell scattered the bails without delay and by then Brook was well away from the crease. This is how Brooke became the victim of Diamond Duck. England’s score was 80/5 when he was dismissed.
