Imam c Harry Brook b Josh Tongue

Josh Tongue to Imam, out Caught by Harry Brook!! Good low catch at 2nd slip and Imam-ul-Haq is livid with himself. He swipes the bat at the turf as he walks off. He curses as well. This is full outside off, the sucker delivery, Imam-ul-Haq gets forward to drive and the thick outside-edge is found. It's going low and to the left of Brook who shows great hands to snaffle it. The partnership is broken. Was on the 7th or 8th stump line and Imam-ul-Haq could've left that. That's why he was so disappointed. Also all the hard work done in building an innings is thrown away to a poor shot. Imam c Harry Brook b Josh Tongue 42(74) [4s-6]
