"He is getting exposed day by day" - Fans do not spare Harry Brook after his promotion to No.3 fails during 3rd Ashes Test

Harry Brook's maiden innings at No.3 at the international level did not pan out as hoped after he was dismissed for just three runs on the opening day of the third Ashes Test. The batter edged a delivery on the off-stump corridor to Steve Smith at second slips after a patchy 11-ball stay at the crease.In the absence of the injured Ollie Pope, the responsibility of batting at No.3 was handed over to Harry Brook, who averages only 22 at the position in first-class cricket. The right-handed batter was recently criticized for his dismissal during the second innings of the Lord's Test against the short ball.He had to walk out to bat earlier than usual after Ben Duckett was dismissed by Pat Cummins in the fourth over of the innings. He got off the mark after facing four deliveries, but his stay did not last long after he departed in the sixth over.Fans did not show mercy after Brook failed to prove himself in challenging circumstances yet again.
