2nd Test: India Are Still Controlling Everything Despite Smith-Brook Stand, Says Broad
Stuart Broad: Former England fast-bowler Stuart Broad believes India still are in control of proceedings in the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, despite the rollicking 165-run sixth wicket stand between Jamie Smith and Harry Brook taking the hosts to 249/5 in 47 overs.
At Edgbaston on Friday, Smith hammered a sensational 80-ball century, his second century in the format, and was unbeaten on 102 while Brook remained 91 not out as England staged a remarkable recovery from 84/5 by hitting all Indian bowlers all around the park.
"A brilliant start to the day for India with Mohammed Siraj making those breakthroughs (of Ben Stokes and Joe Root) so early. It was all India, so the way Harry Brook and Jamie Smith have built has been amazing. Smith came out on a hat-trick ball, probably the most pressurised situation he's been in wearing an England shirt, and is now on a century."
