Sports News: What’s Hot in Cricket, Football and More

Welcome to your go‑to spot for fresh sports news. We keep it simple, quick and useful—no fluff, just the stories that matter. Whether you’re a die‑hard cricket fan or you just want to know the latest goal that shocked the world, we’ve got you covered.

Jamie Smith’s Epic 184 at Edgbaston

Let’s start with a headline that’s still buzzing: Jamie Smith smashed an unbeaten 184 at Edgbaston, setting a new record for an English wicket‑keeper in Test cricket. He walked in at 84‑5 and, with Harry Brook, built a 303‑run partnership that turned the game on its head. Smith’s century came in just 80 balls – that’s the joint‑third fastest for England – and he matched Quinton de Kock as the quickest keeper to reach 1,000 Test runs, doing it in just 21 innings.

Even though England fell short by 336 runs while chasing 608, Smith’s fourth‑innings knock of 88 showed why he’s a rising star. The innings proved that a wicket‑keeper can be a game‑changer with the bat, not just behind the stumps. If you missed the highlights, picture a gutsy swing, a confident stance, and a crowd that went from nervous to roaring in seconds.
