England have roared back after receiving and returning a two-fold blow of Siraj. Harry Brook and Jamie Smith went on the attack against India and very soon they stitched a 150 run partnership.

Jamie Smith, the more aggressor party, accomplished his century in only 80 balls in the process whilst Brook was undefeated in 91 runs. England end the morning day at first 249/5 on the 47 overs.

Mohammed Siraj dismissed Joe Root and Ben Stokes earlier in the day on successive balls. India still require a turn around of some of them in the bowling department. There is much still to play out on Day 3 at Edgbaston.
