England, after early setbacks in the first innings of the second Test vs India at Edgbaston, made a strong comeback with vice-skipper Harry Brook and wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith in the middle. Brook, who came out to bat after England lost three wickets for just 25 on Day 2, played a sensible knock mixed with defence and offence and went on to complete his ninth Test hundred in the second session of Day 2 to put England firmly in control of the match. Brook took 137 balls to complete his century and is forming an eventual partnership with Smith at the other end, who, just before the end of the first session, completed the third-fastest century for England, equalling Harry Brook’s record of an 80-ball hundred.
This is Brook’s first Test hundred against India. He has four centuries against Pakistan, three against New Zealand and one against West Indies before today.
