Jacob Bethell Scripts History, Becomes Second Youngest To Score Ashes Ton In 21st Century
Sydney Cricket Ground: England’s 22-year-old batter Jacob Bethell etched his name in history books by scoring a century in the final Test of the ongoing Ashes at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday, becoming only the second youngest ever to achieve the feat in the rivalry series.
Bethell took over the No. 3 spot from experienced batter Ollie Pope, who had struggled for runs on the ongoing tour. When Bethell came to the crease in England’s second innings, the team had already lost opener Zak Crawley off the fifth ball and were still trailing Australia by 179 runs.
The young batter first established an 81-run partnership with Ben Duckett, who was out in the 20th over after making 39 runs. Following Joe Root's quick dismissal, Bethell formed a solid 100-run partnership with vice-captain Harry Brook.
