Harry Brook and Jamie Smith waged England’s spirited fightback against India on Day 3 of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Forming forces at a precarious 84-5 in pursuit of India’s monumental 587-run total, the two middle-order batters shared 303 runs together for the sixth wicket to take England past the follow-on mark.

Both Brook and Jamie plundered majestic centuries, with the former getting cleaned up by Akash Deep to end their near 61-over long alliance.
