England takes on India in second Test at Edgbaston - live updates & commentary

Jamie Smith has achieved his joint fastest fifty in Test cricket, taking 43 balls, which is also his joint third fastest in first-class cricket. He displayed superb counter-attacking skills as England's number seven. Smith's fifty was reached with only 4.5% false shots, marking his third highest control percentage among his first-class fifties. Such a combination of speed and control is uncommon.

During the match, Prasidh Krishna conceded 11 runs in an expensive over. Shubman Gill may consider introducing spin from both ends, with Washington Sundar as an option.

Despite efforts to neutralize boundaries, Jamie Smith continued to score well. Shubman Gill's decision to stick with Prasidh Krishna led to Smith hitting another six.

Test Match Special statistician Andy Zaltzman noted that this was Jamie Smith's sixth fifty in just 11 Tests, with one century to his credit. Gill placed Yashasvi Jaiswal at silly point as Ravindra Jadeja joined the attack.

Following a neutralized over, Jamie Smith managed to reach his half-century off 43 balls by scoring a single. Michael Vaughan's suggestion to bring in Ravindra Jadeja was heeded by Gill.

Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara emphasized the need for India to regroup and maintain good bowling lengths.

In a light-hearted segment, the BBC Test Match Special team discussed an Oasis-themed Cricket XI, showcasing puns related to players.

Prasidh Krishna faced a tough over, conceding several boundaries to Jamie Smith. England, with Smith scoring 49 off 38 balls and Harry Brook 56 off 80, trailed by 427 runs.

As the players took a drinks break, it was a moment for India to regroup, as highlighted by BBC Test Match Special commentator Simon Mann.

Jamie Smith's aggressive play was evident as he hit boundaries against Washington Sundar. Former England captain Michael Vaughan predicted Shubman Gill might turn to Ravindra Jadeja for support.

The partnership between Smith and Brook reached 50 runs in nine overs, showcasing their solid performance. Vaughan praised Brook's technique and cover drive.

England's key partnership was seen in Brook and Smith, who needed to continue their good form into the afternoon session. India's bowling focused on the off stump channel, with 52% of deliveries in that area.

India's bowlers, having bowled well in the morning, sought a change of ball, reminiscent of England's request on day one. India claimed two wickets in quick succession against Root and Stokes.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan's reference to a 'jaffa' was explained as an exceptionally well-bowled delivery, almost unplayable by the batter. The term originates from the 'jaffa' orange, known for its juiciness and sweetness, exported from Jaffa, a port city in Tel Aviv.
