India 131-4 (38 ovs) vs England 353 | Scorecard

Ravindra Jadeja walks in at No 5 where he hit a century in the Rajkot Test.

Jaiswal taps Hartley on the leg side for a single before Jadeja gets a delivery which stays really low and strikes him on the pads.

England have taken the review. The ball hit a crack and struck the left-hander on the pads but the ball tracker shows that it is going down to miss the leg stump as England lose a review.

Jadeja breaks the shackles as he swings Hartley high over long-on for a six to get off the mark in positive fashion.

He slog sweeps the next ball over midwicket for another six forcing England to push a few fielders back on the leg side.

Bashir running through India's middle order. This time Jadeja is caught at short leg as the inside edge goes off the pads.

Jadeja is dismissed for 12 as India slip to 130/4 in the 37th over.

Sarfaraz Khan gets off the mark with a single from the last ball of the over.

Sarfaraz watchfully keeps out the next over from Hartley, the final over of the post-lunch session.

India go into the tea break on 131/4 in 38 overs, trailing England by 222 runs.

Jaiswal continued his good form with the bat, unbeaten on 54 but India ended up losing three wickets in the session.

Bashir was instrumental in giving England the upperhand, taking 3/32 in 15 overs.

He got the wickets of Shubman Gill (38), Rajat Patidar (17) and Ravindra Jadeja (12) to put England on course for a decisive first innings lead.
