England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith scored a spectacular century on the third day of the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. At 24 years and 42 days old, Smith became the youngest English wicketkeeper to score a Test century, surpassing the previous record held by Les Ames. Ames set the record in 1930, scoring a century at 24 years and 63 days against the West Indies in Port of Spain.
