Smith is as his life – Nasar Hussain
Speaking on Sky Sports, Nasar Hussain appreciated Jamie Smith, saying that he was as his life. He said:
“It was actually a session of two parts. It was the first half with India and magical Bumrah with that new ball since last night – Stokes delivery was really unattainable.
“Then England, as they often do, fought back with the tail. Cars is a very good player and Smith is in his life. England’s tempo is present. That is why I like Smith with the lower order, he gets it right. He is a serious player and is going to be a serious player for a long time.”
Meanwhile, Michael Etharton praised Joe Root for his sensational century. He said:
“When the boundaries dry up, no one is better than the route to find the gap. He has the most favorable, versatile and skilled player, and he is at least set in his ways that I think. It was a day for him yesterday.”
