Watch: Prabath Jayasuriya sparks Shane Warne memories with Harry Brook dismissal

Manchester: On the Old Trafford ground where Shane Warne bowled the 'Ball of the Century' in 1993, Sri Lanka spinner Prabath Jayasuriya made a bid for the modern-day equivalent by dismissing England's Harry Brook in stunning style on Thursday.

Brook had been in fine touch while making an unbeaten fifty to take England to 176-4 at tea on the second day of the first Test, a first-innings deficit of just 60 runs.

But the 25-year-old rising star of English cricket had added just three runs to his interval 53 when he was turned inside out by a ball from left-armer Jayasuriya that dipped in on the line of middle and leg stumps before spinning sharply and bouncing to clip the top of off stump.

Australia leg-spin great Warne, who died aged 52 two years ago, marked his first ball in Ashes cricket with a celebrated delivery at Old Trafford that pitched outside leg-stump and then spun viciously across Mike Gatting to clip the off-bail.

So bemused was Gatting by his dismissal that the late Richie Benaud, himself a former Australia leg-spinner, remarked during his television commentary: "Gatting has absolutely no idea what has happened to him - and he still doesn't know."
