Jamie Smith decreases by fifty
Smith came out to bat after the dismissal of his captain Ben Stokes in the 65th over. He looked solid in the middle and batted brilliantly against the Indian bowling unit.
Jamie Smith displayed a great intentions, facing the upcoming bowlers, and he ensured to punish bad delivery from time to time, leading to high strike rates.
The wicketkeeper-batsmen were ready to register a half-century against India, but their innings was reduced before reaching the milestone.
In the 80th over, Prasad Krishna followed the short-ball strategy after receiving the order from his captain, Shubman Gill and finally paid it.
On the third ball, Prasad Krishna bowled a short ball outside the off-stump, and Jamie Smith left for a bridge. She could not give her shot very well, and the ball went towards Ravindra Jadeja in a deep square leg.
Jadeja, who had earlier dropped a catch, made no mistake this time and he caught the ball, before he returned to Sai Sudarshan as he realized that he was going to the boundary line, and the youth made no mistake.
The terrible hold with the pair of Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudarson rejected Jamie Smith for 40 off 52 balls, with 5 fours and 1 six. In addition, a 73 -run partnership from Harry Brook and Jamie Smith broke off 88 balls.

Conditions are good, conditions are fine – Stuart Broad
Speaking on Sky Sports before playing at day 3, Pace-Bauling Legend Stuart Broad said the conditions in Leeds are good and the pitch is still very good. He explained in detail:
“Conditions are good, situations are fine. We always have a quick outfield in headingley, so the scoring rates are very high. The pitch still looks beautiful, to be honest.
“This is actually a magnificent Test match pitch, which not very seam movement, but for bowlers. You have to wear a little in the next coming days. I think it will definitely start spinning it for five days, which will benefit with India, who bowl with them, but England’s plan, 262 runs.
“They want to try and get as close as possible to put the Indian batting unit under pressure in the third innings. So we always call three moving days of the day in Test match cricket. We will know a lot by tonight, but you know, Oli Pope, Harry Brook, to ensure a ride on our shoulders in this first hour to ensure that I will make a solid beginning at a solid beginning.”
