🏏India tour of England 2025: 2nd Test England vs India - Page 29

5 overs, 50 runs spell by Prasidh Krishna is the game changer today, in fact in this match.

He did the same mistake repeatedly, pitching the ball short and Smith gleefully grabbed the gift and sent the ball towards the boundary line repeatedly.

Prasidh to Jamie Smith, no run, close to the off-stump! A short of length delivery outside off, Jamie Smith leans back to punch and it bounces in front of off-stump and over it, so easily could have gone back on

Two days in a row, 6th wicket partnership has reached 200 not out. What is happening to the 6th wicket which others could not exploit?

Cheers..

Nitish Reddy to Jamie Smith, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket

Nitish Reddy to Jamie Smith, FOUR, beautiful placement. It's a half-volley outside off, Jamie Smith gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive and beats the diving Sai Sudharsan at extra-cover to his right, not much gap between Sai and mid-off

Akash Deep to Brook, out Bowled!! Finally the stand is broken. Akash Deep does it for India. He is being patted on the back by his mates. It's a good ball too, nips back in sharply from outside off, beats Brook on the push, past the inside-edge and hits off-stump. Brook played outside the line of that and it cut back in sharply to dismiss Brook. He walks off to a standing ovation. And rightly deserved too. A fine fine innings. Respite for India after a 302-run stand. Brook b Akash Deep 158(234) [4s-17 6s-1]

Akash Deep to Brook, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Ahhhh finally

For the just third time in Test cricket history, we have a 300-plus stand for sixth wicket (or lower) after the team was five down for less than 100, England’s 84/5 being the lowest such score. The previous two came in historic Tests:

MCG, 1937: Skipper Don Bradman famously reversed Australia’s batting order in the third innings, and having walked in at No. 7 (97/5), added 346 with Jack Fingleton to set up a 365-run win. Bradman’s 270 remains the highest score from No.6 or lower in Tests, and this was the third match of the only five-match series won by a side after losing the first two games.
