England Wicketkeeper Batter Jamie Smith has improved his name in record books with his magnificent shifts 184* against India on the 3rd day of the second test in Edgbaston in Birmingham. Smith registered the highest score of the English Wicketkeeper in tests, which in 1997 broke the record of Alec Stewart from 173 against New Zealand.
Smith came to the fold with his team winding at 84/5 at 21.4 overs after Mohammed Siraj was rejected by Joe Root (22) and Ben Stokes (0) on a consecutive delivery. Smith faced a hattrick ball and stepped out of the brand on the first van when he drove the ground on the ground. He also gathered his second limit against Akash Deep and moved into two -digit digits.
ENG vs Indian
Smith and Harry Brook were extremely busy in folds that regularly rotate the strike and postponed bad vans for four. Smith got in his shifts when he took Prasidh Krishna and canceled his short ball strategy with his aggressive strokes. Smith struck 23 runs in and against Krishn and moved the momentum in favor of his team.
In no time Smith moved from 25 to 49 and raised his fifty 43 balls. He continued to take over the Krishna and did not spin Spin-Twins Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. Smith quickly overcame Brook and raised his second test of one hundred of 80 balls, the third third fastest for England.
