England’s 22-year-old cricketer Jacob Bethell made history by scoring a century in the ongoing Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Bethell, the second youngest to achieve this in the Ashes series, replaced Ollie Pope at No. 3. In England’s second innings, Bethell partnered with Ben Duckett and later with Harry Brook to reach his milestone.
Bethell completed his maiden Test century in 162 balls, becoming the second-youngest batter to score an Ashes hundred in the 21st century. This achievement also marked him as the first England No. 3 in 14 years to achieve this feat. Meanwhile, England faced a setback as Ben Stokes suffered a right adductor complaint during the match.
England’s captain and all-rounder Ben Stokes had to leave the field early due to a right adductor issue. Although Stokes attempted to bat in the second innings, his participation in bowling remains uncertain. This injury comes as England faces challenges in the ongoing Ashes Test against Australia.
