Jamie Smith and Harry Brook register a record partnership for the 6th wicket
English batters Jamie Smith and Harry Brook made the world witness that England is never a side to be underestimated at any point of the game in Test cricket. From 5 wickets down for less than 100 runs, England replied with a record 300-run partnership for the 6th wicket.
Jamie Smith neared his maiden double-hundred, though the batter had to settle for his second Test hundred, as he remained unbeaten on 184*. Brook was also a stunning partner who helped with his 158 runs in the middle order after he missed a hundred by a whisker in the first test.
England were dismissed for 407, despite the huge partnership between Brook and Smith, as the top order could not contribute much, and the lower order this time faced a collapse similar to that of India at Headingley.
England leads the series; India is dominant at Edgbaston
The English side is leading the series 1-0 after winning the series opener at Headingley in Leeds. Though the Indian batters played a crucial role with 5 centuries in the first Test, they could only pose a target of 371 runs in front of the English batters.
England never seemed to be willing to draw the match, as they had an entire day to bat, and possibly the conditions were suitable to bat in. Ben Duckett's stunning hundred, a huge opening partnership, and middle-order brilliance from both Joe Root and Jamie Smith helped England win the match by 5 wickets.
This was England's great start in the series, as India will now have to look to back themselves with a win at Edgbaston to level up their morale after the humiliating loss in Leeds.
