2nd Test: Smith’s Unbeaten Ton, Brook’s 91* Lead England’s Stunning Counterattack
But Jamie Smith: India would have thought they were close to bowling out England cheaply after taking out Joe Root and Ben Stokes on Day Three of the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston here on Friday. But Jamie Smith and Harry Brook had other ideas, smashing unbeaten knocks of 102 and 91 respectively to share a quickfire 165-run stand to lead a stunning counter-attack from England.
At lunch, Smith's 80-ball unbeaten century, his second in this format, laced with 14 fours and three sixes, along with Brook’s enterprising knock, standing unbeaten in a 127-ball vigil, took England to 249/5 in 47 overs and trail India by 338 runs at lunch.
The odds have been against England, especially after they were reduced to 84/5, but Smith and Brook came out with a fighting and adventurous Bazball spirit to hit Indian bowlers all around the park by unleashing superb fireworks in their unbroken sixth wicket stand.
