Jadhav then takes on the pacer as he hits the fourth ball down the ground, clearing mid-on for a four.

He keeps strike with one from the last ball to get nine from the over.

Stanlake continues as Jadhav and Dhoni pick a single each before the former plays a nice cover drive for two runs to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from 58 balls.

Jadhav then glances the fifth ball fine on the leg side and rushes across for the second run.
