Edgbaston’s wild ride: Six ducks, two centurions, and one fiery fifer

 India endured a punishing day at Edgbaston as Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184) stitched a mammoth 303-run stand, rescuing England from 25/3 to a defendable 407. Despite six ducks, India’s somewhat erratic bowling allowed the hosts back in. Mohammed Siraj’s fiery six-wicket haul, including a late burst, gave India a 180-run lead and a sliver of hope. India endured a punishing day at Edgbaston as Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184) stitched a mammoth 303-run stand, rescuing England from 25/3 to a defendable 407.
