[Watch] Harry Brook's massive six goes out of the ground in Headingley during The Hundred
Northern Superchargers batter Harry Brook smashed a massive six against Manchester Originals in The Hundred at Headingley in Leeds on Sunday, August 13. The right-handed batter hit the ball to the top of the roof that went out of the ground.
The incident took place off the 51st delivery of the Superchargers’ innings, bowled by Usama Mir, who produced a flighted delivery outside off-stump. Brook advanced down to the pitch of the ball and lofted it down the ground that went over the sightscreen, leaving everyone in awe. The commentators confirmed that the ball was lost.

Brook departed for just 20 runs off 14 balls, including the solitary six and two boundaries.
