Jamie Smith and Harry Brook produce a stunning England fightback but India remain in a dominant position at the end of the third day of the second Test.

BIRMINGHAM, England, July 4 (Reuters) - Jamie Smith smashed England's third-fastest test century to drag the hosts back from the brink against India after a nightmare start on day three of the second test had captain Ben Stokes fall for a first-ball duck at Edgbaston on Friday.

England has had big centuries from Harry Brook and Jamie Smith but little else to celebrate as India stayed in control of the second test on a turbulent Day 3 at Edgbaston.
