Jadeja takes one before Ashwin gets the outside edge which flies past the slip fielder for two runs to take his score to 97.

Ashwin misses the full delivery down the leg side as he looks to glance.

In the next over, Jadeja at his watchful best as he plays out a maiden over from Mehidy.

He plays his favourite flick off his pads for a single to bring up his second successive Test century at his home ground, from 108 balls.

This is Ashwin's sixth Test hundred as he rescued India after a difficult start in the morning session.
