Jamie Smith was unbeaten on 184* at the end of England's first innings against India at Edgbaston. He overtook fellow Surrey gloveman Alec Stewart, who scored 173 against New Zealand in 1997. He also surpassed the highest score ever for England in a Test match by a No.7 batter, overhauling KS Ranjitsinhji, who held the record for 128 years.
