ENG vs IND 2nd Test Day 3 Session 1: Smith-Brook put England in command
India started Day Three on a high as Siraj, in the second over of the day, removed Joe Root (22) and English skipper Ben Stokes (0) on back-to-back deliveries, increasing England's misery by reducing them to 84 for 5. But just when it seemed like India had full control of the match, Jamie Smith and Harry Brook brought the fight to the Indian bowlers, scoring runs at a fiery pace to get the hosts back in the game. Both batters completed their fifties within the first hour of play as Indian bowlers once again looked off-colour.
Prasidh Krishna, who after the first match said he conceded more runs than he wanted to, was once again one of the culprits. In one of his overs, Jamie Smith collected 23 runs with the help of four boundaries and a six. The impact of England's counter-attack can be understood by the fact that by the time they lost their fifth wicket, their run rate was less than four, but by the time the drinks break came, it had surged. Smith continued the attack post-drinks and went on to score the joint fourth-fastest Test hundred for England just before the end of the session.
England added 172 runs in the first session to gain full control of the match. Jamie Smith (102 not out) and Harry Brook (91 not out) will be the two batters taking the crease again for England to start the second session.

Prasidh Krishna brutally trolled after poor show with ball against England; ‘People say its expensive in Iceland, but…'
At a time when Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep received plaudits for their exploits in the ongoing second Test against England in Birmingham, India pacer Prasidh Krishna became the topic of sharp criticism from fans and experts for his wicketless spell at Edgbaston. The Indian speedster bowled 13 overs without success and conceded 72 runs at an expensive economy of 5.53. That's not all. In the first innings of the first Test which India lost by five wickets, Krishna took three wickets by conceded 128 runs at at an economy of 6.40. He gave away 92 runs in the second innings for his two wickets with an economy of 6.13. Amidst the criticism, his dreadful outing in England has prompted Iceland Cricket to join the bandwagon and take a cheeky dig at the Indian pacer on social media. Known for their humourous and cheeky posts on social media, Iceland Cricket compared Krishna's soaring economy to the rate of high cost of living in their country. 'People say it's expensive in Iceland, but have they seen the economy rate of Prasidh Krishna?' wrote Iceland Cricket on X. Riding on captain Shubman Gill's 269, India posted 587 in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test. In reply, England were all out for 407, despite hundred from Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184 not out), thereby giving India a 180-run lead. In the second innings, India were 64/1 in 13 overs when the stumps were drawn on Day 3. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the only Indian player dismissed for 28. KL Rahul (28 not out) and Karun Nair (7 not out) will start for India on Day 4. India lead by 244 runs in second innings.
