The second match of the 5-Test series between England and India is currently underway in Birmingham, where on Friday, the third day of the match, the English wicketkeeper-batter etched his name in the record books by scoring a brilliant century in response to India\u2019s first innings total of 587 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamie Smith played an unbeaten innings of 184 runs against India, completing his Test century in just 80 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this outstanding performance, Jamie Smith created a new chapter in England’s cricket history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 24-year-old Jamie Smith became the highest individual scorer as a wicketkeeper-batter for England in Test cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He broke a 28-year-old record held by former English wicketkeeper Alec Stewart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stewart had scored 173 runs against New Zealand in 1997, a record that had made him England\u2019s highest-scoring wicketkeeper in a Test innings until now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
