2nd Test: Had To Check With Harry Brook If I Was Facing A Hat-trick Ball, Reveals Jamie Smith
Smith’s 184 is also the highest score by an England wicketkeeper in Tests, which came while sharing a massive 303-run sixth-wicket partnership with Brook, who hit 158. "I didn’t really have too much time to think. I think everything happened so quickly, being a hat-trick ball. I actually said to Brooky at the time, ‘Is it a hat-trick ball?’ I didn’t even know he’d got out first ball," said Smith to Sky Sports’ ahead of day four’s play.
Asked about his approach while hitting a brilliant century, Smith explained, "I knew it was a good wicket having stood behind the stumps for 150 overs and it was about putting India under pressure. In that situation you can prod and poke a bit and get bowled out for 200 but I didn’t think that was the way to go about things."
