India's Day 5 chase in the third Test at Lord's has become a nightmare for the visitors. Having already lost their top and middle order early in the day, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy were under pressure to stay on. But more than just the cricket was what attracted people's attention, and that was the on-field insult from England's Harry Brook. While standing in the slip cordon, Brook launched some stinging words at India's all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, his former teammate from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL. Brook first remarked, "Not in the IPL now. Jaddu's got to get all those," implying Nitish was not up to the task of assisting a chase in red-ball cricket. Then it was a more specific insult: "Who do you think you are? I remember when we were with the Sunrisers, you didn't say anything there." These were obviously designed to distract and unsettle Nitish Reddy's nerves. Though Nitish did not respond and remained calm outwardly, such a statement at the height of a chase could affect any young cricketer's mind. Most fans on social media believed that Brook had gone overboard in bringing dressing room memories from the IPL into a high-pressure Test.

Back at Sunrisers, you said nothing!"~ Harry Brook to Nitish Kumar Reddy SLEDGING Start https://t.co/uILOin3o0D — Prayag (@theprayagtiwari) July 14, 2025 Reddy's Dismissal Sinks India Further And barely after the sledging, experienced Chris Wookes, who had remained wicketless up till then, was recalled to the attack by Stokes. The recall worked as Wookes delivered a ball outside off, and Nitish pushed it gently towards the keeper, where it was edged. The timing of the fall, shortly before lunch, hurt India miserably. With Reddy departed and just tailenders Siraj and Bumrah remaining to assist Jadeja, India's prospects of saving this game are very slim. The hosts now have just two wickets to win the game and take charge of the five-match series.
