Jadeja falls for 57-ball 68, India lose 8th wicket
July 20, 2014
Ind 338-8 (100 ovs) vs Eng 319 | Scorecard

Jadeja, on 66 from 54 balls, gets a lifeline as Ian Bell puts down a tough chance at midwicket as the left-hander whipped Stokes on the leg side.

Kumar is hit on the body by a short delivery from Stokes which comes in sharply but he is fine to continue.

With the pacers going for runs, England turn back to their spinner Ali to make the breakthrough.

Jadeja is finally dismissed as he top edges the pull shot off Stokes and is caught by Cook running back from slips.

Jadeja walks back after a whirlwind innings of 68 from just 57 balls, during which he hit nine fours. He put on 99 runs from as many deliveries for the eighth wicket with Kumar to guide India out of trouble and also give them the upperhand.

There is no stopping Kumar who flays another boundary over the thirdman region to inch closer to another half-century.
