When Jamie Smith came to the crease, England was in a lot of trouble. Mohammad Siraj pushed England on the backfoot by dismissing Joe Root and Ben Stokes for two consecutive balls, but after that Smith came to the crease and changed the whole atmosphere. As soon as these players arrived, the famous Krishna and Jadeja broke down. Krishna was specially taken by Smith on the radar. Smith scored 23 runs in one over. Smith reached a half -century off just 43 balls. Just before lunch, he also scored a century and during this time 14 fours and 3 sixes came out of his bat.
Smith-Brook causes havoc
Smith and Brook batting so amazing before lunch that the two together added 172 runs to a session. While Root and Brook’s wicket fell into this session. By the way, there were two opportunities to break the partnership of Brook and Jamie Smith. On Jadeja’s ball, Captain Gill left Brook’s catch and Washington Sundar gave a life to this player leaving Smith’s catch on his own ball. If these catchs were taken, then Team India would appear dominated in the game up to lunch in Edgbaston Test.
