India vs England 3rd Test, Day 1, 3rd session Summary

 

Starting the second session at 185/3 in 52 overs, India got easy runs as Rohit Sharma smashed his 11th Test hundred. However, inspired field change and short ball ploy got Rohit out off the bowling of Mark Wood. It was then that Sarfaraz Khan special loaded at Rajkot, The pocket-sized dynamo pulled out dream shots from the book and caused Bazball tons of problems as he mashed a 52-ball hundred.

He looked set to get to a big score before he was run out by a direct hit at the non-striker's end as Jadeja wanted to take a quick single to reach his hundred while batting on 99. 

 

Local lad Jadeja did eventually get to his hundred as India finished the first day's play at 326/5 in 86 overs. 141 runs came in the last over at the loss of two wickets in 34 overs.

Ravindra Jadeja (107), Kuldeep Yadav (0); James Anderson 19-5-51-0

 

Anderson comes in to bowl the last over before the end of the day’s play. Four balls and Kuldeep Yadav has negotiated the deliveries very well. Single is taken off the fourth ball and now Jadeja will have to play the last two and he was not happy about it. 

 

He should be as Anderson has dished out a dolly from round the wicket and he gets a four and crosses the milestone of 3000 Test runs. The last ball is done and that would be stumps with Indi at 326/5, well and truly ahead in the game.

Picks up the length so early does Srfaraz that he has ample amount of time to hit the ball. Goes down the ground and gets s ix. Takes a single ball and gets to fifty in just 48 balls. This could be the quickest fifty on debut but needs confirmation from analysts.

A low full toss, flicked off the feet by Sarfaraz and a misfield by Jonny Bairstow at mid-on would mean that the debutant is off the mark. Oh, almost another wicket for Wood as he ekes a pull shot out of Jadeja and it almost carries to square leg where Pope has been stationed.
