'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.

Mohammed Siraj Strikes Early! Gets Root & Stokes On Back-To-Back Balls

Last Updated: Mohammed Siraj struck early on day three of the second Test at Edgbaston, dismissing Joe Root and Ben Stokes. Mohammed Siraj struck early on day three of the second Test of the five-match series for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday. Siraj dismissed Joe Root and Ben Stokes on back-to-back deliveries. Mohammed Siraj ran in full tilt and slid the ball on the leg stump line, which curved further down the leg on a length with some lateral movement. Joe Root was strangled down the leg side as he looked to flick the ball but only managed to get an inside edge. Rishabh Pant took a smart catch behind the wickets., diving to his left low. WHAT A START! 😍 #MohammedSiraj strikes in his very first over of the day, getting the big wicket of #JoeRoot, and needless to say, ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????, ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????! 🏏🔥How crucial could this breakthrough be in shaping the innings? 🤔 #ENGvIND … — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 4, 2025 On the very next ball, Siraj bowled a well-directed bumper, angling outside off. Stokes was taken aback by the extra bounce and had left his bat hanging in his evasive action. He did not manage to drop his wrists down in time and got a faint edge. Pant took the regulation catch. What Happened On Day 2? Earlier, India dominated day two of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, leaving England struggling at 77/3 in 20 overs. With a deficit of 510 runs and thanks to Shubman Gill's career-best 269, the visitors amassed 587 in 151 overs. Gill's score is the highest made by an Indian captain in Tests and by an Indian batter in England. Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar (42) provided valuable support, contributing to partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets. In response, Akash Deep, replacing the rested Jasprit Bumrah, picked up 2-36, while Mohammed Siraj managed 1-21. Despite Harry Brook and Joe Root remaining unbeaten on 30 and 18 respectively, England faces a daunting challenge on day three. England's innings started with Zak Crawley hitting two fours off Akash, who then bounced back by dismissing Ben Duckett for a duck, thanks to a spectacular catch by Gill. Ollie Pope fell on the next ball, caught by KL Rahul in slips, sending England's two centurions from the Leeds Test back without scoring. The situation worsened when Siraj drew the outside edge of Zak Crawley, with Karun Nair catching him at first slip. Root and Brook managed to stabilise the innings somewhat, with Brook hitting boundaries off Prasidh Krishna before stumps, concluding a day dominated by India and Gill. In the final session, Gill received a standing ovation from the Edgbaston crowd after attempting a hook shot off Tongue and being caught at square leg. Akash Deep's dismissal, caught at long-on, and Mohammed Siraj's stumping rounded off India's innings. First Published:

Siraj steps up but stubborn Smith, Brook keep hosts alive

CHENNAI: It was the ninth ball on Day Three in Edgbaston. Mohammed Siraj ran in with all the hopes of giving India an early breakthrough, and bowled a full delivery that was drifting down the leg side. On any other day, Joe Root might have flicked it for a four or just completely missed. Friday was neither as he got a feather touch and Rishabh Pant completed the rest. England's best batter was back in the pavilion and Siraj had found his energy. In the very next ball, he delivered a sharp bouncer that caught England captain Ben Stokes fending off in an awkward manner. India had taken two in two and England were half the side down — 84/5 in 21.4 overs, the scoreboard read. India, all of a sudden, found themselves on top with a chance to go for the kill and gain an insurmountable first innings lead. Enter Jamie Smith, the 24-year-old keeper-batter, who is slowly but steadily moving up the ranks in the England batting line-up. Over the next 60-odd overs, Smith, along with Harry Brook, delayed the inevitable as the duo added 303 runs from 368 balls before the second new ball was taken and Akash Deep eventually dismissed Brook for 158 runs from 234 balls. The Bengal pacer followed it up with the wicket of Chris Woakes before Siraj took charge and ran through the tail, finishing with 6/70. England were all out for 407, trailing by 180 runs and Smith was left stranded 16 runs short of a double century. It was a day India would have taken at the start of play, especially with Siraj rising to the occasion in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. In many ways, being the leader of the pace attack seems to bring out the best in him as Siraj showed why he is a much-valued part of the Indian team. He was complimented well by Akash Deep who too took a four-fer while the rest of the bowling attack were made to look ordinary by Smith and Brook. While Siraj's six-fer and the stark difference in his Test averages with and without Bumrah in the XI remains the story of the day for India, between the second over and the second new ball, Smith and Brook showed why they are rated highly in English cricket. Brook, who had already hit a 99 in Leeds, maintained his good touch to play a steady innings on a good batting wicket, but it was Smith who dictated the terms from the get go.
