R Jadeja 2-63(22 ov)
54.6
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, again darted in towards leg, Buttler wants to keep the strike with a single to leg, can't get it away to the vacant region. Jadeja runs forward to field that
54.5
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, fired in on middle and leg, Buttler gets his bat down in time to block that off the back foot
54.4
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, was there bat or glove on that? Seemed to be, but lands over the backpedalling slip fielder. Buttler going for the reverse to a ball outside off and seemingly feathering that, ricochets off Parthiv's thigh and lobs the fielder
54.3
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, forward defence to the off-side
54.2
Jadeja to Anderson, 1 run, flicked in the air through the vacant square leg area. Gets off strike
54.1
Jadeja to Anderson, no run, Jadeja goes up for an lbw, but Anderson has got a thin bottom edge on the reverse sweep. Erasmus has spotted that. Jadeja checks with him and seems to be asking to be whether there was bat on that. Replays show that Anderson got a tiny edge on that
52.6
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, much better. Tossed up on off, smothered off the front foot
52.5
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, beaten! What a ball. Pitches outside off, short of the defending length and rips away into the gloves of the keeper. Buttler did well not to nick that
52.4
Jadeja to Adil Rashid, 1 run, in the air and just brushes the fingertips of the diving Jadeja. He tried his best but will go down as a tough dropped chance. Rashid drove that hard and to the bowler's left. Full-length dive but just out of his reach. A single to long-off
52.3
Jadeja to Adil Rashid, no run, again does the same, foot beside the line and pushing to cover-point
52.2
Jadeja to Adil Rashid, no run, makes room and pushes it to short cover
52.1
Jadeja to Buttler, 1 run, short of length outside off, steered wide of the second slip. Trusts Adil Rashid and takes the single
50.6
Jadeja to Woakes, no run, clueless! Woakes wants to play the sweep irrespective of where the ball pitches, this does outside off and turns past his slog. Looked a very bad shot
50.5
Jadeja to Woakes, no run, "catch" was the cry as Woakes looked to drive that through cover. In the air, but on the bounce to extra cover. Didn't get to the pitch of that as he tried to drive inside out. Lucky again
50.4
Jadeja to Woakes, no run, tossed up outside off, Woakes gets forward and defends solidly towards short cover
50.3
Jadeja to Buttler, 1 run, full on the pads, clipped to short fine leg
50.2
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, meanwhile Jadeja is causing mayhem at the other end with his left-arm spin. This pitches outside off, brings Buttler forward and then turns away sharply, with extra bounce. Buttler didn't know much about it either. Lucky that it missed the edge
50.1
Jadeja to Buttler, no run, defended off the back foot
48.6
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, eases a single to mid-off who is very deep. Bairstow will retain strike
48.5
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, wow! Look at that go. No chance for Bairstow to defend that. Rips away from a length and then bounces so high, the batsman was in all sorts of trouble in trying to defend off the back foot. Good take by Parthiv Patel
48.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, ooh! A leading edge but it rolled to second slip. Bairstow closed the bat face on that middle stump delivery, didn't go hard, or else he would've given the slips a catching chance
48.3
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, pushed off the front foot to cover, where Rahul dives to his left and makes a half stop, does enough for Buttler to send Bairstow back
48.2
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, loud shout for lbw! But that has pitched outside leg, so Erasmus has an easy call to make. Slower and beat Bairstow on the tickle to leg, but it pitched outside and even though it went on to rap the pad, no damage done
48.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, floated up on middle and leg, Bairstow gets forward to defend
46.6
Jadeja to J Ball, 1 run, sliced away with a drilling drive to cover-point
46.5
Jadeja to J Ball, no run, a quick one on the hips now, makes his life quite simple having to deal with a mere closed batted fend
46.4
Jadeja to J Ball, no run, a fire, too straight though and easily negotiated by Ball with a nurdle
46.3
Jadeja to J Ball, no run, past the edge now. The outside obviously as it has been happening all day long. An aimless waft and sees himself getting beaten
46.2
Jadeja to J Ball, no run, another dart coming in with the slant of the loop, gets bat to ball somehow does Ball in keeping it out
46.1
Jadeja to J Ball, no run, the dart arrowing in on the top of off, kept out with a push
44.6
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, forward and kept out cautiously
44.5
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, the arm ball now. But Bairstow does well to trust the angle and the trajectory that begun from well outside off to leave it undisturbed
44.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, draws the edge, but credit to Bairstow who loosened his grip at the right moment to make sure that it doesn't get to second slip. On the half volley but enough to induce oohs and aahs all around
44.3
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, leans forward this time to get to the pitch of the delivery, smothers
44.2
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, pulled the bat inside the line to another square ripper
44.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, back footed defence to a fired in delivery
42.6
Jadeja to Stokes, no run, just a hint of width and Stokes attempts the cut, only to stay content with the under edge being found this time
42.5
Jadeja to Stokes, no run, appeal. Massive too. Was hit on the back leg as well to make matters worse. But this time the umpire is unmoved. Well he was shuffling across with his initial trigger and the impact might have just been outside the line of off. That's the only thing that could have saved him. HawkEye in: Missing! Turning too much.
42.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, nudged away against whatever little turn there is on offer to mid-wicket
42.3
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, treks forward with the ball darting into him, defended
42.2
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, and Jaddu once again resumes flirting with the outside edge. Well away on this occasion as Bairstow sees the sense in drawing his blade deliberately inside the line and wafting it in thin air
42.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, 2 runs, another flamingo like flick off the back foot off the closed bat face. Elegantly behind square for another couple
35.6
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, darted on the legs of Bairstow, he closes the bat-face and nudges to mid-wicket to keep strike. Smart tactics that, does not want to expose Stokes much. At least not when he is new to the crease
35.5
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, fires it flat on off and middle. Bairstow stays back to defend
35.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, blocked off the front foot again
35.3

35.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, very full outside off. Bairstow drives to sweeper cover for a single
35.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, no ball, Bairstow reviews. Caught behind given. He reviewed immediately and told Stokes it did not touch his bat. Oh, what? What was that! It's a no-ball. Forget everything. We won't have a look at anything else. Spinner bowling a no ball. What has the world come to! Bairstow wanted to push off the front foot and was beaten. He was given caught behind but the sound was from the bat hitting the pad. Bairstow was confident that he did not touch that and now we know why he was so certain in his review. Bad call from Oxenford and Kohli is seen smilingly gesturing that it missed the bat by a fair margin
33.6
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, flatter and on the stumps. Bairstow wants to cut, ends up chopping towards backward point
33.5
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, defends off the back foot
33.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, beaten! Jadeja is appealing for a catch but the umpire is unmoved. Bairstow wanted to defend off the back foot but the ball jagged away, brushed the glove of the keeper and went to slip. Nothing there

Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, flatter ball. Bairstow works off the back foot to mid-wicket
29.6

29.5
Jadeja to Root, 2 runs, stays back and punches square on the off-side
29.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, too full. Much to Bairstow's liking. Drives towards long-off

29.2
Jadeja to Bairstow, 1 run, goes back to this shortish ball. Places past second slip

27.2
Jadeja to Root, no run, Root is pushing on the front foot, lucky that it goes along the ground to point

25.6
Jadeja to Root, 1 run, stays in the crease and pushes to mid-on for a single
25.5
Jadeja to Root, FOUR, brings out the sweep. Always does to get himself out of trouble. Finds the gap and fetches a four to the deep mid-wicket fence
25.4

23.5

23.1

21.4

17.5
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, tossed up, only so little. Bairstow gets forward and defends
17.4
Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, did that carry? No I don't think so. Bairstow was driving on the up, with the turn. Was not in control of the shot and hit in the air towards KL Rahul at extra cover. He dives in front but cannot reach it

15.5

Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, turn and bounce. But it is outside off. Bairstow covers his sticks and leaves
13.2
Jadeja to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Vijay!! Jadeja already has two. Has to credit Vijay though for this scalp, for it was a sharp low grab at leg gully. England cannot survive defending on this pitch. They need to learn quickly. Probably Root can educate them. Use of the feet will be key. Moeen Ali though just hangs back - allowing Jadeja to bowl into the rough and the ball to turn and bounce - and tries to fend, ends up turning it into the on-side, went off the face of the bat, Vijay dived low to his right and caught it one-handed. Moeen Ali c Vijay b Jadeja 0(3)

11.6
Jadeja to Moeen Ali, no run, flatter in trajectory, Moeen pushes it into the on-side
11.5
Jadeja to Cook, out Lbw!! 100 Test wickets for Jadeja! If the idea was to go across the stumps to negate Jadeja's turn, it brings LBW into play big time and this is not for the first time Cook has gotten out to the left-arm spinner in this fashion. This was the quicker delivery that spun just a little, just enough to beat Cook on the flick, the fact that his front leg was across the line meant he played outside the line of the ball, the ball hit him right in front of middle stump. It was a confident shout for India and umpire Bruce Oxenford raised his finger after a long thought. Cook asked Root and then went for the review, but Hawk-Eye showed that more than half the ball was crashing into the leg stump, meaning the on-field call was upheld. Big blow for England. Cook lbw b Jadeja 18(28) [4s-3]

11.3
