IND vs ENG: Worst in 148 years! Prasidh Krishna sets unwanted Test record
Prasidh Krishna (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India seemed on course to bowl England out cheaply after removing Joe Root and Ben Stokes early on Day 3 of the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston on Friday. But Jamie Smith and Harry Brook had other plans, hammering centuries to stage a remarkable counterattack and tilt the momentum back in England's favour. Mohammed Siraj kickstarted the drama by striking twice in the second over of the day. First, he got Joe Root to tickle one off his pads to Rishabh Pant. On the very next delivery, he bowled a sharp, rising delivery that caught Ben Stokes off guard. The England captain fended at it, only to glove it behind to Pant for a golden duck — his first in Test cricket — leaving England reeling. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! At 84/5, India looked firmly in control. But that changed quickly. Brook displayed elegance and authority, unfurling crisp drives and flicks off Siraj, while Smith countered with aggressive strokeplay — slamming the ball down the ground and later pulling and driving Akash Deep for boundaries. Brook brought up his second fifty of the series with a commanding drive off Siraj, and soon Smith began dismantling India's short-ball strategy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo India vs England 2nd Test: Shubman Gill's 269, Ravindra Jadeja's class light up Edgbaston Brook continued the charge, swivelling on the back foot to smash Prasidh Krishna for three fours and a six on the leg-side, before driving him once more for a boundary. That over alone leaked 23 runs. Smith, meanwhile, reached his fifty off just 43 balls and kept going hard. He punished Prasidh's short balls with a four and a six, then took three more boundaries off Washington Sundar. Against Ravindra Jadeja, he once again went aerial, launching a four and a six to continue the onslaught. Amid this brutal assault, Krishna's struggles in Test cricket grew more glaring. The pacer now holds the unfortunate record for the worst economy rate in Test history (minimum 500 deliveries). England Coach Jeetan Patel Praises England Bowlers' Fightback In the first Test, which India lost by five wickets, Krishna conceded 128 runs in the first innings while taking three wickets at an economy of 6.40. In the second innings, he gave away 92 runs for two wickets, with an economy of 6.13. His performance during Day 3 worsened the numbers further: 5-0-50-0 at an economy rate of 10.00 — the most expensive spell (five or more overs) by an Indian bowler since December 2006. Overall, Krishna has now conceded runs at over five per over in his brief Test career — a glaring concern for India's pace department.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Jamie Smith betters captain Ben Stokes' record, becomes first England batter to...
Jamie Smith's ton vs India came at a crucial point in the game (Image via AP/PTI) Jamie Smith lit up Edgbaston on Day 3 of the second Test with a blistering century that not only revived England's innings but also etched his name in the record books. The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter brought up his hundred in just 80 balls against a relentless Indian attack, making it the joint-third fastest Test century for England in terms of balls faced. In doing so, Smith overtook Ben Stokes , his current captain, whose fastest was an 85-ball ton against New Zealand at Lord's in 2015. The milestone came at a crucial point of the game. England had been reduced to 77/3 at stumps on Day 2 and lost both Joe Root and Stokes early on Day 3. The latter departed for a golden duck, the first such dismissal in his Test career. But just when India looked set to tighten their grip on the game, Smith and Harry Brook counterpunched with centuries that kept England afloat. Fastest Test centuries for England (by balls faced) 76 – Gilbert Jessop vs Australia, The Oval, 1902 77 – Jonny Bairstow vs New Zealand, Trent Bridge, 2022 80 – Harry Brook vs Pakistan, Rawalpindi, 2022 80 – Jamie Smith vs India, Edgbaston, 2025 85 – Ben Stokes vs New Zealand, Lord's, 2015 Tracing Moeen Ali's steps in Birmingham Additionally, Smith is also the first England batter to score 100+ runs in a session before lunch, having not been unbeaten overnight. Brook, whose name also features just above Smith in the list of fastest centuries, looked equally confident in his approach. His century also set another record, as he became the player with the third-lowest innings needed to reach 9 tons for England in Tests. Brook's record of 44 innings is only behind Herbert Sutcliffe (43) and Denis Compton (37). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 60년 묵은 혈관 찌꺼기 ,,, '이것." 하나면 다른건 하지 않아도 됩니다! 면역력 Rg3의 비결 더 알아보기 Undo Poll Which player impressed you the most in the second Test at Edgbaston?
