Jadeja hits half-century to India past 250

September 09, 2018 18:31

India 254-8 (85 ovs) vs Eng 332 | Scorecard

It will be interesting to see Jadeja's tactics following the wicket of Ishant. Will he go for his shots with India having just two wickets in hand or will he continue to bat normally?

Jadeja wants to take most of the strike as he turns down a single to deep point off the third ball from Rashid before he takes one off the fifth ball, leaving Mohammed Shami with one ball to face, which he blocks easily.

Moeen drops short as Jadeja looks to slap it through the covers but fails to beat the fielder who dives full length to his right and stops it. The field comes up for the last ball and Jadeja steers it past point for a four to complete his half-century, from 113 balls.

This has been a good fightback from the lower order as India reach 254 for eight in 85 overs, trailing England by 78 runs.
