England’s wicket-keeper Jamie Smith played a brilliant innings on Day 3 of the second Test against India. He looked in great form, scoring his century in just 80 balls with 14 fours and 3 sixes.

Smith made history by becoming the first England batter since 1877 to score over 100 runs in one session before lunch without being not out overnight. He came in when England was in big trouble and added a crucial 165-run partnership with Harry Brook. This stand helped steady things after Mohammed Siraj removed Joe Root and Ben Stokes in back-to-back deliveries early in the morning.

Siraj’s double blow left England at 84 for 5, but Smith fought back with attacking shots. By lunch, England had reached 249 for 5. Smith was unbeaten on 102 from 82 balls, and Brook was on 91. England scored 172 runs in just 27 overs before lunch. Smith was especially hard on the bowlers. Prasidh Krishna tried a short-ball plan with six fielders on the leg side, but Smith smashed 23 runs in one over with four boundaries and a six. Krishna went for 61 runs in his eight overs before lunch without taking a wicket.

Smith didn’t let the spinners settle either. He hit Washington Sundar for two fours in his first two balls and then took a six and a four off Ravindra Jadeja in the next over. Smith got to his second Test hundred the third fastest by an England player with back-to-back fours off Jadeja just before lunch. It was a superb knock that brought England back into the game after India’s huge first-innings score of 587.
