Third fastest century for England

Smith has jointly scored the third fastest century in Test cricket for England. The first place in this list is Gilbert Jessap. He scored a century in just 76 balls against the Australia cricket team in the year 1902. Bairstow scored a century in 77 balls against the New Zealand cricket team in 2022. Brook also scored a century in 80 balls against the Pakistan cricket team in the year 2022.

Partnership

Brook and Smith made this record in partnership

Harry Brook (158) and Smith jointly shared a 303 -run partnership for the sixth wicket. This has now become the third largest partnership from England in the sixth or lower order. Let us know that Ben Stokes and Johnny Bairstow shared a 399 run partnership against South Africa in Cape Town (2016). At the same time, Jonathan Trot and Stuart Broad added 332 runs against Pakistan in 2010.

Partnership

England’s third 300+ run partnership against India

The pair of Brook and Smith have now become a third pair against the Indian team with a partnership of over 300 runs. Let me tell you that earlier Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen shared a 350 -run partnership in The Oval (2011). At the same time, before this, the pair of Graham Gooch and Alan Lamb had a big 308 -run partnership in Lord’s (1990).
