Harry Brook one shy of century as England clash with India hangs in the balance
Harry Brook fell one short of a hometown hundred as England's first Test against India hung in the balance on day three at Headingley. The Yorkshire crowd was poised and ready to celebrate the local boy's century as he faced up to Prasidh Krishna on 99 but instead shared his deflation as he turned a pull straight down the neck of the fine-leg fielder. Brook, who had sprung a clearly telegraphed bouncer trap, threw his head back in dismay and dropped his bat as he trudged to the pavilion as the first Englishman to fall for 99 since Jonny Bairstow in 2017. But his innings helped the hosts to a final score of 465 – just six runs behind India's mark and enough to leave every result on the table. Neither side giving an inch as the first Test at Headingley remains evenly poised after Day 3 🏏 #ENGvIND 📝: — ICC (@ICC) June 22, 2025 Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes then picked up one wicket each as the tourists reached 90 for two to began rebuilding their lead. Brook had picked up the baton from Ollie Pope after Saturday's star man was dismissed for 106 in the third, scoring the majority share in stands of 51, 73 and 49 with Stokes, Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes. Every run would have been painful for Jasprit Bumrah, who had Brook caught for nought off a no-ball in the final over on the second evening, and there were further costly errors as he was dropped on 46 and 82. Brook roared out of the blocks, ending Krishna's first over of the day with a cut for four and a thrash for six over midwicket, and assumed the driver's seat when Pope guided a gentle steer into Rishabh Pant's gloves early on. His message rang out loud and clear when he took a couple of steps down the pitch and thrashed Bumrah for four through cover. Few batters have attempted to play the world's number one bowler with such freedom and even fewer have lived to tell the tale. The two best batsman in the world are English. — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 22, 2025 Stokes played the supporting role after arriving at number five, leaving it to Brook to provide explosive moments like his searing drive skipping down the track towards Mohammed Siraj. The captain cobbled together 20 low-key runs but never settled into a rhythm and looked full of regret as he pushed defensively outside off stump and nicked Siraj behind. Brook and Smith found a better tempo, milking 38 runs off six overs from the all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and negotiating the first signs of spin from Ravindra Jadeja. Brook was bested once when he nicked one off the shoulder of the bat but the ball hit Pant's gloves hard and popped out. After adding 118 for two in the morning session, England put on 138 for five between lunch and tea. Smith was good value for a punchy 40 but, having seen one pull off Krishna go all the way for six, he obliged too easily by sending another straight to the designated catcher. Brook was spared when he carved a regulation chance to fourth slip, Yashasvi Jaiswal making a mess of his handiwork for the second time in the match. The punishment was swift and unforgiving, 18 runs off the following over as Brook cut loose. Oh, Harry Brook 😭 An incredible knock ends just short of 100 🙈 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 22, 2025 The century appeared to be coming in quick but instead Brook made the same mistake as Smith, swivelling to take on the long boundary and coming up short. England added 67 vital runs for the last three wickets, Woakes chipping in with 38, before Bumrah wrapped up the innings to finish with a hard-earned and well-deserved five-for. The weather worsened in the evening session, clouds filling in overhead and a strong wind blowing away any threat of rain showers, and an early wicket suggested England could seize the moment. Carse took it, forcing Jaiswal back in defence and flicking the edge with one that held a tight enough line to demand attention. Sai Sudharsan was next in, fresh from a duck in his first Test innings, but he stood admirably firm in a stand of 66 with KL Rahul. That dampened some of England's enthusiasm as the lead they worked so hard to eradicate swelled once more. A Duckett drop at gully did not help matters but Sudharsan (30) only added six more before Stokes foxed him with an inswinger to have him caught at midwicket. Shoaib Bashir threatened to cause more problems as his off-spinners started to grip but showers forced the players off with 25 minutes still to play and India almost 100 in front.

Notts appoint ex-Burton boss Paterson as head coach
Notts County have appointed former Burton Albion boss Martin Paterson as their new head League Two club have been without a head coach for a month since Stuart Maynard was sacked following their play-off semi-final defeat by AFC Northern Ireland international forward Paterson, 38, had a brief spell in charge of Burton in the second half of the 2023-24 season, helping them narrowly avoid relegation from League director of football Roberto Gagliardi told the club website, external that he was "hugely excited" by Paterson's appointment."In our conversations with him it's been clear that he shares our vision of playing dynamic, progressive football and, as much as the club's DNA will remain the same in terms of our desire to dominate the ball, we believe he may bring more intensity and directness to our play," Gagliardi said. "Martin wants his teams to be extremely hard-working, well-organised and difficult to play against – characteristics which were key to his success at Burton having become their manager in very challenging circumstances."We believe we can provide the environment for Martin to demonstrate his true capabilities as a head coach."Burton were 17th in the table when Paterson took over, following which they won just five times in 20 games - enough to narrowly avoid ended up finishing 20th - one place and two points above the drop zone - although then Brewers owner and chairman Ben Robinson admitted Paterson had taken over "under very difficult circumstances".After beginning his career with home town club Stoke City, former Burnley, Huddersfield Town, Blackpool, Port Vale and Tampa Bay Rowdies striker Paterson worked as a number two in England and the United States, including a stint alongside Phil Neville in appointed by Burton, Robinson said he saw the "same potential" in Paterson that he did in Neil Warnock, Nigel Clough and Gary Rowett - who were all appointed by Albion as up and coming owners Christoffer and Alexander Reedtz said Paterson had "demonstrated immense passion, determination and ambition – underpinned by a fixation on winning" during talks over the Edwards will be Paterson's assistant head coach, with keeper Sam Slocombe extending his stay at Meadow Lane by becoming first-team coach.

EXCLUSIVE Life on the once respectable middle-class street now ravaged by crime and drugs... where house prices have plunged by SEVENTY PER CENT
It was once the jewel in Stockton-on-Tees' crown - an aspirational address where the well-heeled middle classes built their lives in proud red-brick Victorian homes. But today, Hartington Street stands as a haunting shadow of its former self and a sobering symbol of Britain's urban decline. Crippled by crime, ravaged by drug abuse, and hollowed out by absentee landlords, the street is now a grim patchwork of HMOs, halfway houses and temporary accommodation. Nowhere is that downfall more visible than at No. 15. Once a grand, three-storey family home, it sold for £300,000 in 2014. Just eight years later, it was snapped up for just £90,000 - a 70% drop in value. The property's windows and front door are now boarded up with metal sheets, paint peels from the crumbling sills, and vegetation grows through an upstairs window. The only tenants left are the pigeons roosting inside. This pattern repeats across the street. Of around 80 homes, the vast majority have been carved up into HMOs and let out by out-of-town landlords, often with little concern for upkeep or who moves in. House values have plummeted with properties that once commanded six-figure sums changing hands for as little as £55,000. Isma Choudhary, 58, whose 85-year-old mother Sagira has lived on Hartington Street for five decades, said the decline has been devastating for long-standing residents. She said: 'It's a shame. It used to be a beautiful road. 'My mum has lived here for 54 years, since she came from Kenya. It was the first house she ever bought. 'They're big houses and they'd get a good price if they were anywhere else. If this was London, it'd probably go for a million. 'But I can't imagine they're going for very much now and when the house does come to be sold, there's going to be a big loss. 'We keep trying to encourage my mum to move out of the area, into a better place, but she says no. 'She knows she'll never get a house this size anywhere else if she sells. She won't be able to afford it. 'Really, she should have sold up years ago.' Pointing to former family homes turned into HMOs, Ms Choudhary added: 'There's been a lot of change. There are only about four families down here now. 'A lot of people don't want to stay here anymore. Some of them have young kids and there are people outside using drugs. 'Next door was an Asian family who sold up about six months ago. That's empty at the moment. 'At No. 57, God knows how many people they've put in there. There must be 20-odd people in there. 'On an evening, there's ten cars and two vans parked up. I came home at half-eight last night and couldn't park anywhere near the house. 'Before, I could always park outside.' According to official sales data, boarded-up No. 15 had sold for £300,000 in 2014. But in 2021, it was listed for auction with a guide price of just £65,000 with sales blurb detailing its partial conversion 'with a view to providing 9 self-contained studios'. Its owners, based in Ayr, Scotland, secured the house for £90,000. A 1975 covenant on the house prohibiting actions that might 'lessen or depreciate' neighbouring property values appears to read with bitter irony. Dani Keith, 37, who lives on the street with her husband Tim, 38, and four children, knows a woman who grew up in the former family home. Ms Keith said: 'We actually went to church with a lady that lived here as a kid. 'She's in her 70s or 80s now. She's visited us and she'll walk up and down the street. 'She gets sad because the house means something to her. 'It's been like that for five years now.' Rightmove data, based on official government house sales logs, paints a bleak picture for Hartington Road. No. 28, a seven-bed house, was sold for £137,000 in 2007 - but plunged in price by 45% when it sold in October last year for £76,000. Eight-bed No. 16, sold for £125,000 in 2006. When it was purchased in 2023, its value had fallen 40% to £75,000. And a flat which sold for £51,000 in 2007 fell 22% to £39,000 when it was bought in 2022. Nadia Mahsood, 42, has lived on the street for 18 years with her husband, and admitted she was worried by falling property prices. She said: 'I want to move but I can't afford to.' 'Everybody's moved. My neighbour, who's my best friend, moved last year because it's a very rough, druggie area. 'There's lots of drug dealing in public. 'The property prices have gone down because it's a rough area. There are many flats here now. 'Many families have moved out. People don't like raising their families here but I have no choice.' Hartington Road has become a hotspot for crime and antisocial behaviour. According to police figures, 2,226 crimes were recorded in Stockton's town centre, in which the street lies, in six months to April. Web forums refer to it as 'vagabond street,' where 'residents are usually off their faces on drugs or booze, and that's at breakfast time'. 'Honestly, if they moved everyone out, the town centre would improve massively', one wrote. 'The amount of times I've been asked for booze money at 8am is ridiculous.' One resident, who gave his name only as Stephen, told Mail Online that he paid £475 a month to live in a ground-floor room, with a tiny kitchenette and WC. He said: 'The houses round here used to be worth a fortune but because of the street, no-one wants to live here. It's one of the worst places to live. 'There's a lot of druggies and smack heads. It's better than watching TV sometimes. There's always something going on. 'There's a Christian family from America living on here, with four kids. 'I asked them, 'why the hell are you living down here? It's a horrible place'. 'And they said 'God made us do it'. 'If God asked me to live down here, I would tell him where to go. 'I was living in a tent before I lived here. Then I ended up in this s***hole. 'But if I'd known what it was like I would have stayed in the tent. 'The police are up and down here like yo-yos.' Nearby, the family referenced by Stephen told how their missionary work had taken them from North Colorado to Teesside, where they live in a six-bed house bought for just £82,000. Tim Keith, a team leader with Global Mission Europe, said: 'The investment we've made here in buying the house is less about finance and more in a belief for better things for this community. 'It's a different community but it is a community with its own rhythm and rules. 'Doorbells don't get used. There's a lot of shouting, which takes some getting used to. 'I've worked around this estate and from this location for three years, so my sense of what 'bad' is a little different. 'You reach a point where you can see the beauty of the place and don't see the rubbish that has blended in.' Mr Keith added: 'We lived in a community called Denver, North Carolina. 'Of the top 30 earners of NASCAR, 20 of them had houses within 10 miles of ours. Donald Trump had a home on the lake nearby. 'It was a very different community. But I actually feel more comfortable here in this community.' The rise in HMOs has led to concerns from Cleveland Police. The force recently objected to retrospective planning application for a nine bedsit property, describing it as a 'modern day doss-house'. Crime prevention officer Gerry McBride said of the plan for no. 25: 'It appears to be an attempt by the developer to squeeze as many people into a building as possible. 'The lack of en-suite facilities for the occupants will result in this operating as a modern day doss-house. There is already a high incidence of HMOs in the nearby area, with which, comes a transient community, bringing with it a host of local additional demands for police and partners.' Leanne Dixon, 37, moved from the east Yorkshire coast to Hartington Road last year when a house came up for rent suitable for her seven children. After securing the property sight unseen, she discovered the remnants of a cannabis farm in her attic which had been connected across four neighbouring homes. Leanne said: 'People told us not to move here - they said it was full of druggies and alcoholics. 'But honestly, we've had no problems. We don't mind it at all. 'It's not easy finding somewhere big enough and affordable. You can't rent these kinds of houses anymore unless you've got a million quid. They just don't exist.' Ms Dixon pays £1,500 per month to rent the property, which initially had been advertised for let as a HMO by a Hong Kong-based landlord. She said: 'There aren't many families on the street. It's a shame because the houses are big and more suitable for families. 'When we first moved in last August, every five seconds you could hear sirens going, but now it's just become background noise. 'You just get used to it.'
