'I was hungry to get a hundred': Harry Brook
Harry Brook (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Jamie Smith etched his name in the record books with an unbeaten 184 — the highest-ever Test score by an England wicketkeeper — while Harry Brook scored a fluent 158, but India still finished Day 3 of the second Test at Edgbaston firmly in control with a lead of over 200 runs. England were reeling at 84/5 and still over 500 runs behind when Smith walked in to join Brook early in the day, right after Mohammed Siraj had delivered a double blow, including handing Ben Stokes the first golden duck of his Test career. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The pair then mounted a brilliant fightback, adding 303 runs for the sixth wicket before Brook fell in the post-tea session. By the time England were bowled out for 407, Smith had overtaken Alec Stewart's previous record for the highest score by an England wicketkeeper — 173 vs New Zealand in 1997. 'Very tired, but it was good fun to be out there with Smudge (Jamie Smith)...' Brook said after stumps. Harry Brook press conference: On Yashasvi Jaiswal DRS controversy, India bowling, getting out on 99 Siraj (6/70) and Akash Deep (4/88), who replaced Jasprit Bumrah for the Test, shared all ten wickets between them, in an innings that included six ducks. India, trailing 0-1 in the series, ended the day at 64/1, with a commanding 244-run lead and two full days left in the match. "India are in front at the minute, but three or four wickets in the morning and you never know. Everything happens so quickly in cricket. I was cramping on my right side — wasn't ideal. The Indian bowlers bowled well. They attacked from wide of the crease and targeted all three stumps. There are plenty of wickets to be had," Brook said.

Wimbledon 2025: Madison Keys becomes latest top-seed to exit, Naomi Osaka bows out
Laura Siegemund of Germany beat Madison Keys of the U.S. in their women's singles third round match at Wimbledon Tennis Championships (Image via AP/Alastair Grant) Australian Open champion Madison Keys joined the mass exodus of top seeds at Wimbledon on Friday as Carlos Alcaraz prepared to resume his quest for a third straight title. Keys' 6-3, 6-3 defeat by Germany's Laura Siegemund means only world number one Aryna Sabalenka is still alive at the All England Club out of the top six women's seeds. Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini and Zheng Qinwen had already fallen by the wayside. On the men's side, half of the top-10 seeds have gone, though defending champion Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner are still standing. US sixth seed Keys had won 13 of her 14 Grand Slam matches this year, but made 31 unforced errors in a lacklustre display on the grass against 37-year-old Siegemund, ranked 104 in the world. Sabalenka will be desperate to buck the trend later on Centre Court when she faces a potential tricky encounter against former US Open champion Emma Raducanu in the third round. — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) In early third-round action at the All England Club, Japan's four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka lost in three sets to Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, ranked 50th in the world. Osaka has not reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam since she won the Australian Open in 2021 but is still hungry for success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo "I feel like while I still have the opportunity to try to do it, I want to, even though I get very upset when I lose, but I think that's my competitive nature. That's also the younger sister syndrome," she said. It took US men's 10th seed Ben Shelton just 71 seconds to complete his second-round match, sealing a 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 win against Australia's Rinky Hijikata after the match was halted on Thursday due to failing light.

Wimbledon 2025: Sonmez Makes History; Becomes First Turkish Player In Open Era To...
Last Updated: Zeynep Sonmez made Turkish tennis history by reaching the third round of Wimbledon, defeating Xinyu Wang. She is the first Turkish player in the Open Era to achieve this milestone. Zeynep Sonmez etched her name into Turkish tennis history on Thursday, becoming the first player from her country in the professional era to reach the third round of a Grand Slam. The 23-year-old defeated China's Xinyu Wang 7-5, 7-5 in a tightly contested match at Wimbledon on Thursday. #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 3, 2025 Sonmez expressed hope that her achievement would serve as motivation for young players in Turkey. 'My mom and the people in my team told me that there were videos of kids watching me back home, in tennis clubs on TV," she said. 'And I hope they get inspired or feel like, 'Oh, we can do that too.'" Breaking a 75-Year Drought Her accomplishment is not only a milestone for the Open Era — which began in 1968 — but also breaks a 75-year absence for Turkish women in Grand Slam third rounds. The last woman to do so was Bahtiye Musluoglu, who reached the third round of the French Open in 1950. Before Sonmez, the closest any Turkish player had come in the Open Era was Cagla Buyukakcay, who reached the second round at three majors between 2016 and 2017. Sonmez was cheered on by a spirited contingent of Turkish fans at the All England Club, posing for selfies with supporters after her historic win. 'I feel that there are a lot of Turkish people here, and it makes me very happy," she said. First Wimbledon, First Breakthrough Although this marks Sonmez's first Wimbledon appearance, she already has a WTA title to her name, winning the Merida Open last year. Prior to this tournament, she had exited in the first round at all three of her previous Grand Slam appearances. Now, with history already made, Sonmez is hoping her journey at Wimbledon is just getting started. (with AP inputs) First Published: July 04, 2025, 23:01 IST
