Harry Brook and Jamie Smith shared a 200-plus run partnership for the sixth wicket, outplaying the Indian bowlers at Edgbaston.

Harry Brook: On the third day of the second Test of the five-match Test series being played between England and India at Edgbaston, England’s dangerous batsman Harry Brook and wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith created history by performing brilliantly.

History created for England

Both the England batsmen have made a record partnership of 200 or more runs for the sixth or lower wicket during England vs India in Test cricket. The pair of both has become the first pair to do so.

This is only the third time in Test history that there has been a partnership of 200 or more runs for the sixth or lower wicket in a single match. Before the Edgbaston Test, this has only happened in 1955 and 2009.

Test matches that recorded two or more 200+ partnerships for the sixth wicket or lower order

Match	Ground	Year	Partnerships
West Indies vs Australia	Bridgetown	1955	Keith Miller-Ron Archer (206 runs for the sixth wicket) Dennis Atkinson-Claremont DePiazza (347 runs for the seventh wicket)
India vs Sri Lanka	Ahmedabad	2009	Rahul Dravid-MS Dhoni (224 runs for the sixth wicket) Mahela Jayawardene-Prasanna Jayawardene (351 runs for the sixth wicket)
England vs India	Birmingham	2025	Shubman Gill-Ravindra Jadeja (203 runs for the sixth wicket) Harry Brook-Jamie Smith (303 runs for the sixth wicket)

Statistics till 4 July

Brook was at the crease to handle England’s crumbling middle order. In the second over of the day, Jamie Smith had to come to the field to support Harry Brook. After Mohammad Siraj took two wickets in the same over, both the batsmen played responsibly, hitting the ball across the boundary from time to time and rotating the strike.

Indian bowler Mohammad Siraj started the day in a great way. Two strong pillars of England, Joe Root (22 runs, 46 balls) and Ben Stokes (0) were dismissed in the same over and showed the way to the pavilion. England were in a difficult situation at that time after losing five wickets for 84 runs, and were seen struggling to move towards India’s huge target of 587 runs in the first innings.

Earlier, from the Indian camp, captain Shubman Gill put the Indian team in a strong position by scoring a brilliant double century (269 runs, 387 balls). Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (87 runs, 107 balls) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (89 runs, 137 balls) also played brilliant innings. However, both batsmen missed out on scoring a century.

Mohammad Siraj’s brilliant bowling put India in a strong position against England on the third day of the Edgbaston Test. In response to India’s first innings score of 587, England at one point looked strong at 387 for 5, but Siraj’s 6-wicket haul bundled out the hosts for 407 runs.

Mohammad Siraj’s deadly bowling

Mohammad Siraj : In England’s innings, the pair of Harry Brook (158) andբ) and Jamie Smith (184*) shared a 303-run partnership for the sixth wicket, bringing the hosts close to India’s score. But Siraj stopped England at 407 with his brilliant bowling. Captain Shubman Gill, coach Gautam Gambhir and legendary Sachin Tendulkar were also excited to see Siraj’s performance in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.

Sachin Tendulkar praised

Sachin Tendulkar praised Siraj on Twitter and wrote, “The biggest change I have seen in Siraj is the accuracy and consistency of his bowling. His hard work was rewarded with 6 wickets. Akash Deep also supported him brilliantly. Very good performance!” Sachin also praised Brook and Smith’s 303-run partnership, in which they counter-attacked brilliantly under pressure and brought England close to India’s score.

Ups and downs of England’s innings

The third day started badly for England, when half of their team returned to the pavilion at 84 runs. At that time it seemed that India could enforce a follow-on. But the pair of Brook and Smith troubled the Indian bowlers by batting fiercely. After Brook’s wicket fell at 387 runs, Siraj took charge and bowled out England for 407 runs.

On the basis of the first innings, India got a lead of 180 runs.

Team India: Shubman Gill had scored a double century in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test match.

Team India: The second Test between India and England being played at Edgbaston has now taken an exciting turn. By the end of the third day, India has taken a lead of 244 runs over hosts England. India had scored 587 runs in their first innings thanks to Shubman Gill’s double century, while England’s first innings were bundled out for 407 runs. Now India has strengthened its position by scoring 64 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in the second innings.

England’s first innings and partnership

Team India: For England, Harry Brook and Jamie Smith had brought the hosts close to India’s score with a huge partnership of 303 runs for the sixth wicket. However, Mohammad Siraj’s brilliant bowling bundled out England for 407 runs, giving India a lead of 180 runs in the first innings. By the end of the third day’s play, India had scored 64 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in the second innings, taking their total lead to 244 runs. India will now want to strengthen their strategy on the fourth day.

Team India’s strategy: How big a target?

In the first Test at Leeds, England easily achieved the target of 371 runs, so captain Shubman Gill and his team would like to avoid giving any target less than 400. India will try to bat for at least two and a half sessions on the fourth day and put England to bat in the last few overs of the fourth day. Under this strategy, India would like to give England a target of around 500 runs, so that it would be difficult for the hosts to achieve it on the last day.

Biggest chase at Edgbaston

The biggest successful run chase so far at Edgbaston has been 378 runs, which England achieved by winning by 7 wickets against India in 2022. Apart from this, a target of more than 300 runs has never been chased on this ground. Still, India would not want to take any risk and would like to take their lead close to 500 by adding at least 250 more runs on the fourth day.

England- 378/3 vs India, 2022

Harry Brook: Two England batsmen scored centuries in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test.

Harry Brook: In the Edgbaston Test, England created a unique world record in Test cricket by scoring 407 runs in the first innings in response to India’s 587 runs. This record is special because 6 batsmen were out for zero in England’s innings, yet the team managed to score more than 400 runs.

Great partnership of Harry Brook and Jamie Smith

In this innings of England, Harry Brook (158 runs) and Jamie Smith (184 not out) made a huge partnership of 303 runs for the sixth wicket. The rest of the batsmen together added only 105 runs. The special thing is that 6 batsmen of England were out for zero without opening the account. Despite this, England became the first team in the history of Test cricket to score more than 400 runs after 6 or more batsmen were out for zero.

Unique record in first class cricket too

This record is a world record not only in Test cricket but also in first class cricket. Earlier, Bangladesh scored 365 runs against Sri Lanka in 2022 despite 6 batsmen getting out for zero, in which the partnership of Mushfiqur Rahim (175 not out) and Liton Das (141 runs) was important. In first class cricket, Chhattisgarh scored 311 runs against Karnataka after 6 batsmen got out for zero.

After the T20 World Cup, he was also a part of the Indian T20 team that toured Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. It was very tiring for him, so he asked for a break from the KCA. His name was also not included for the players’ auction.’

Vishnu Vinod was the second most expensive player in the auction of the second season of the Kerala Cricket League. The Aries Kollam Sellers franchise made him a part of their team by bidding Rs 13.8 lakh. As an experienced player, Vishnu has also been a member of teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians in the IPL.

The third most expensive player in the league went to Jalaj Saxena at Rs 12.4 lakh. An experienced all-rounder and a veteran of domestic cricket, Jalaj Saxena was bought by Alleppey Ripples.
