Smith Hits 80-Ball Century as England Counterattacks to 249-5 Against India in 2nd Test

  • On July 4 at Edgbaston, Jamie Smith made an 80-ball century as England counter-attacked India at 249 for five in the 2nd Test match.
  • The strong response came after early blows where India quickly dismissed both Joe Root and Ben Stokes, amid criticism of their cautious fielding strategy.
  • Smith and Harry Brook shared a 165-run sixth-wicket partnership, easing pressure on England after India posted 587 runs led by Shubman Gill's 269.
  • Gill’s 269, including 30 fours, was the highest by an Indian in England, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's 221 made in 1979, and helped build India's fourth-highest total in England.
  • England's fightback with Smith's rapid century suggests they remain competitive despite trailing the series 1-0 after India dominated early play.
