1st Test: Jadeja Makes 87 As India Take 190-run Lead Over England After Being 436 All Out
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Ravindra Jadeja top-scored with 87 as India ended their first innings on day three of first Test at 436 in 121 overs, taking a healthy lead of 190 runs over England at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday.
With the pitch showing signs of slowing down, India managed to add only 15 runs to their overnight total in the first hour of day three’s play, with Jadeja missing his century by 13 runs. For England, Joe Root was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-79, followed by Rehan Ahmed and debutant Tom Hartley taking two wickets each while Jack Leach had one scalp.
Root and Mark Wood began the morning with eight sedate overs to keep Jadeja and Axar Patel in check. As soon as Leach, nursing a left knee injury, entered the attack, Axar feasted on his overpitched deliveries by striking back-to-back cover drives for boundaries.
