The Brook wicket shows why England won't win the Ashes. Silly shots at pivotal moments by too many players. Brainless!
John
This is why Brook won't emulate Root unless he tweaks his approach. So much ability and naturally free flowing but, just reign it in a little lad!
Anthony
England, all or nothing approach, can infuriate as much as it entertains. Needed Brook to be the last man standing.

Harry Brook's stats were 99 from 112 balls. He got two sixes and 11 fours. It is the 89th time in Test history that someone has been out for 99. The last Englishman to do it was Jonny Bairstow at Old Trafford against South Africa in 2017.

Harry Brook hangs his head back. He cannot believe it and neither can the crowd. It would have been his first Test century at Headingley.

There'll be no first Headingley century for Harry Brook - he goes for 99!
Prasidh Krishna returns in place of the expensive Mohammed Siraj and Brook moves to one run off his century with a two through point.
He drives expansively at the next delivery but fails to make contact, then goes from the next delivery, dropping a pull right into the hands of Shardul Thakur at deep backward-square.
The England white-ball captain looks to the skies and walks off without a ton on his home ground.

Harry Brook is so effortless as he plays that shot. That was a real dismissive drive. It's got the crowd going.

Premier League questions Chelsea over ‘unauthorised ticket seller' co-owned by Todd Boehly
The Premier League has demanded answers from Chelsea over the 'unauthorised' reselling of Premier League tickets by a website co-owned by Todd Boehly. In an open letter, the Chelsea Supporters' Trust requested in March that the English top tier act 'swiftly' in investigating club chairman Boehly's involvement in Vivid Seats. Richard Masters, the league's chief executive, has now confirmed at a Football Supporters' Association event that the competition had written to the club. According to minutes of the recent FSA event, Masters 'confirmed the PL [Premier League] had written to Chelsea to seek clarification on the club's position with the matter ongoing. RM [Masters] advised the PL would reply to CST [Chelsea Supporters' Trust] once the PL had concluded its discussions with the club.' Telegraph Sport first reported in February how Vivid Seats, a US-based online marketplace of which Boehly is both an investor and director, was allowing foreign-based users to buy and sell Premier League tickets for up to tens of thousands of pounds. Boehly has not been accused of any wrongdoing. CST had asked the league to 'act and investigate' the situation which they believe is both a 'breach of trust' and 'a clear conflict of interest'. The trust has also submitted evidence against the American company to the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Chelsea recently pledged to take action on ticket touting but did not name Vivid Seats or other ticket resellers. Vivid does not allow fans based in Britain to buy or sell tickets – the latter of which would be illegal – but its business model does raise the prospect of Chelsea co-owner Boehly profiting from the kind of activity his own club have repeatedly denounced. The CST wrote in its March letter to Masters: 'We have received a significant amount of correspondence from concerned CST members and supporters from the wider Chelsea FC fan base on this issue that cannot be ignored.' Boehly has not commented but Vivid Seats previously said in a statement: 'As a global business, we are always respectful and cognisant of local regulatory policies and procedures that are in place in any market to ensure we are compliant. As such, our policy restricts the sale of EPL tickets from UK sellers. We can confirm that we do not have any UK sellers listing EPL inventory on our marketplace. Additionally, Vivid Seats does not and has never directly marketed or advertised Premier League tickets to UK customers.' Boehly, a director and investor in Vivid, described as an 'unauthorised ticket seller' by the league, also owns a 13 per cent stake in Chelsea.

Alejandro Garnacho pictured in a Marcus Rashford Aston Villa shirt
Alejandro Garnacho has risked angering Manchester United fans by posing in an Aston Villa shirt carrying Marcus Rashford's name on the back. After a season in which both players became outcasts under Ruben Amorim, Garnacho posted the image of himself in the jersey while on holiday. The picture is included in holiday snaps he posted on Instagram of a trip to Ibiza, while he continues to weigh up his future as an Old Trafford exit beckons. There is little doubt that the image posted on Garnacho's official account is intended to be provocative. The No 9 claret and blue shirt that Rashford wore while on loan at Villa Park last season takes centre stage as Garnacho walks towards a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. Villa have been listed among clubs potentially interested in the 20-year-old, who is said to be keen on the prospect of remaining in the Premier League. Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli have also been linked with proposals for the forward. Amorim did not name Garnacho in his 20-man squad for their final game of a miserable season after telling the Argentina international to find a new club. Napoli bid for Garnacho in January after selling Georgia forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris St-Germain for £63 million but were rebuffed. United are thought to want around £60 million for the Argentina forward, whom Chelsea also tried and failed to sign in January. The Argentina international previously angered United fans with his comments immediately after their crushing 1-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. 'Obviously, it is hard for everyone. Our season was s---. We did not beat anyone in the league,' Garnacho told reporters at the San Mames Stadium. 'We lacked a lot of things. When you don't score goals, you always need more. Until we reached the final, I played every round. And I played 20 minutes today…'

Jay Stansfield's energy sparks England's Under-21 Euros bid to life as £15m striker steps out of the shadows with tireless display against Spain, writes NATHAN SALT
Jay Stansfield isn't much of a talker. A quiet, unassuming character, it was easy for the 22-year-old to blend into the background in the early stages of this tournament. That's been a place that's been hard for Stansfield to find at club level, what with a £15million move to Birmingham City making him the most expensive League One player ever. Jeered by opposing fans at every ground and labelled a 'waste of money' at every missed chance, going away with England has proved quite the departure. Stansfield touched down in Slovakia with just three England Under-21 caps to his name, his most recent in March 2024, and observers of Lee Carsley 's group noted how it took him a day or two to bring himself up to speed. That's not a knock on Stansfield either. Of all the outfield players in this squad it is Stansfield that was playing at the lowest-ranked level last season in League One. Here he quickly found himself in high-intensity training sessions with Champions League pedigree talent. But after thriving in the spotlight in his first start of the tournament, Stansfield's days in the background look to be numbered. Now he stands firmly centre stage in England's bid to win back-to-back Euros. This is Stansfield's first tournament for England and at 22 he knows there are no guarantees he will get another one. So to see him empty the tank across 81 minutes against Spain, an energiser bunny that was a complete pest all evening for the Spanish, was to see a player that has been waiting for his chance to make a point. Mail Sport can reveal that Stansfield covered 10.1 kilometres in Trnava, 1.2km of which was at 'high intensity'. Stansfield also recorded 194 intensive actions - determined as accelerations and decelerations - which was the most of any player in an England shirt on the night. His high intensity running was also a team high. Having been patient for his chance, Carsley got every last drop out of Stansfield. 'Jay was outstanding and more than deserved his opportunity,' Carsley said. 'Jay's a very, very unselfish striker, the way that he presses, the way that he puts defenders under pressure. 'You want him to have that much energy though when he's in front of goal because he can't do all the other side of the game and not get the rewards. But I thought he was outstanding.' Stansfield is understated, rarely one to hype up his own performances and that job once again fell on team-mates who were seen lauding him on the pitch and near the team bus after Saturday night's 3-1 win. 'He made everyone around him a better player,' Channel 4 pundit Joe Cole mused afterwards. Nobody in England's dressing room disagreed. There are Jamie Vardy-like tendencies to the way Stansfield presses like a man possessed at times and that has been a trait that England lacked in a group stage where they struggled to find any sort of rhythm in attack. No Liam Delap complicated things for Carsley. Operating two false nines in a 4-2-2-2 system was the decision he made and Marseille's Jonathan Rowe, who looks much more comfortable playing wide on the left, got the three group stage starts up top, all without a goal. Stansfield waited for his chance, coming on late in the 3-1 win over Czech Republic and in the 0-0 draw with Slovenia. He got a half to show what he was about in the 2-1 loss to Germany but found it tough. But the message being passed on during England training sessions has long been that big moments will arrive for every player and in his 50th appearance of the season for club and country, Stansfield answered the call just as Carsley knew he would. 'He's had a good season at Birmingham and one of the big things for me that's most impressive is the pressure he has had to deal with,' Carsley told Mail Sport. 'They paid a lot of money for him, got that promotion under his belt, scored a lot of goals so I think him bringing that to this squad is a big thing for us.' He answered the call against Spain and now a date with the Dutch awaits in Wednesday's semi-final.
