IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Jamie Smith betters captain Ben Stokes' record, becomes first England batter to...
Jamie Smith's ton vs India came at a crucial point in the game (Image via AP/PTI) Jamie Smith lit up Edgbaston on Day 3 of the second Test with a blistering century that not only revived England's innings but also etched his name in the record books. The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter brought up his hundred in just 80 balls against a relentless Indian attack, making it the joint-third fastest Test century for England in terms of balls faced. In doing so, Smith overtook Ben Stokes , his current captain, whose fastest was an 85-ball ton against New Zealand at Lord's in 2015. The milestone came at a crucial point of the game. England had been reduced to 77/3 at stumps on Day 2 and lost both Joe Root and Stokes early on Day 3. The latter departed for a golden duck, the first such dismissal in his Test career. But just when India looked set to tighten their grip on the game, Smith and Harry Brook counterpunched with centuries that kept England afloat. Fastest Test centuries for England (by balls faced) 76 – Gilbert Jessop vs Australia, The Oval, 1902 77 – Jonny Bairstow vs New Zealand, Trent Bridge, 2022 80 – Harry Brook vs Pakistan, Rawalpindi, 2022 80 – Jamie Smith vs India, Edgbaston, 2025 85 – Ben Stokes vs New Zealand, Lord's, 2015 Tracing Moeen Ali's steps in Birmingham Additionally, Smith is also the first England batter to score 100+ runs in a session before lunch, having not been unbeaten overnight. Brook, whose name also features just above Smith in the list of fastest centuries, looked equally confident in his approach. His century also set another record, as he became the player with the third-lowest innings needed to reach 9 tons for England in Tests. Brook's record of 44 innings is only behind Herbert Sutcliffe (43) and Denis Compton (37). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 60년 묵은 혈관 찌꺼기 ,,, '이것." 하나면 다른건 하지 않아도 됩니다! 면역력 Rg3의 비결 더 알아보기 Undo Poll Which player impressed you the most in the second Test at Edgbaston?

NHL trade news: Edmonton Oilers sign veteran forward Curtis Lazar to $775K deal in 2024 free agency return
Veteran forward Curtis Lazar rejoins Edmonton (Image via: Getty Images) Veteran forward Curtis Lazar is heading back to Edmonton, this time in an NHL jersey. The Oilers have signed the 30-year-old to a one-year, $775,000 contract during the 2024 NHL free agency period, bringing the former WHL standout full circle as he returns to the city where his junior hockey journey first began. Curtis Lazar signs one-year, $775K deal to join Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers' decision to bring in Curtis Lazar is more than a feel-good reunion. It's a calculated depth move ahead of the 2024–25 NHL season. Lazar, originally drafted 17th overall by the Ottawa Senators in 2013, spent five seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings in the WHL, winning a Memorial Cup and WHL Championship before turning pro. Now, more than a decade later, Lazar brings veteran presence, playoff experience, and two-way versatility to a team looking to maintain its Stanley Cup contention status. Known for his high work ethic and defensive responsibility, Lazar is expected to fill a fourth-line forward role under head coach Kris Knoblauch. The 2023–24 NHL season wasn't kind to Lazar. Playing for the New Jersey Devils, he battled through injuries and recorded just 2 goals and 3 assists in 48 games. However, the Oilers see upside in his ability to contribute in penalty-killing situations, win board battles, and provide leadership in the locker room. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

Connor McDavid, who served under Lazar's captaincy during the 2015 IIHF World Juniors, was one of the first to welcome him back. Current Oilers Trent Frederic and Vasily Podkolzin also reached out, signaling strong chemistry ahead.

His return to Edmonton offers a fresh opportunity to stabilize his career in a familiar setting. While he's unlikely to see top-line minutes, his signing adds much-needed depth and flexibility to an Oilers roster that's looking to build sustainable success in the 2024–25 season.

Edmonton Oilers sign Andrew Mangiapane to $7.2M deal after Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl recruitment push
Oilers land Mangiapane after McDavid, Draisaitl pitch (Image via: Getty Images) The Edmonton Oilers made one of the most talked-about moves in 2025 NHL free agency by signing forward Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year, $7.2 million contract. The 28-year-old joins a high-powered Oilers team, thanks in large part to direct recruiting efforts from superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Oilers add Mangiapane in free agency after key role played by McDavid and Draisaitl After a brief one-year stint with the Washington Capitals, Mangiapane hit the open market on July 1 and quickly became a target for multiple playoff contenders. However, it was the Oilers who sealed the deal—thanks to their leadership group taking matters into their own hands. According to Mangiapane, both McDavid and Draisaitl personally reached out during the free agency period, which had a major impact on his decision to sign with Edmonton. 'People pulling you this way and that way and wanting you here or there. But when you have those two caliber players calling you, you tend to listen,' Mangiapane said during an appearance on Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer. The Newest Edmonton Oilers, Andrew Mangiapane & Curtis Lazar, join Bob Stauffer on Oilers Now Mangiapane finished the 2024–25 season with 14 goals and 14 assists for the Capitals. Prior to that, he spent seven seasons with the Calgary Flames, where he built a reputation as a hardworking, two-way winger with solid offensive upside. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo His career-best season came in 2021–22, when he recorded 35 goals. With Edmonton, Mangiapane is expected to bring reliable secondary scoring, versatility in the middle-six forward group, and the ability to contribute on both special teams. The Oilers have been seeking more offensive balance behind their top line, and this signing directly addresses that need. Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman said the organization has admired Mangiapane's game for years, noting his work ethic and smart positioning as key assets. 'I think he's got the ability to play in our top six,' Bowman said.
