    "editor1": "<p>Mohali, Nov 28 (CRICKETNMORE): All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said on Monday India&#39;s lower middle-order batting has been more than useful against England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India&#39;s lower middle-order batting has contributed crucial runs against England series so far and exhibited their usefulness in the ongoing third Test at Mohali.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India were 204\/6 at one stage in response to England&#39;s first innings score of 283. But Ravichandran Ashwin (72), Ravindra Jadeja&#39;s best ever Test score (90) and Jayant Yadav (55) handy contributions pulled India to 417, a lead of 134 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin then led from the front, claiming three wickets to reduce England to 78\/4 at stumps on day three of the match at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) I.S. Bindra Stadium here on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If lower-middle order contributes well, then it&#39;s a plus point for every team and it&#39;s a good sign for us that all have contributed well till now,&quot; Jadeja told reporters after the day&#39;s action.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In Test cricket it all depends on the situation, if your team is in good position then obviously the opposition feels the pressure and hence everything looks good then,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commenting on the batting, off-spinner Jayant Yadav, who scored his maiden fifty said that his confidence has grown with this innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Really enjoyed getting maiden Test fifty. Really enjoyed batting with Jaad. Definitely the confidence has grown with the wickets and the runs. If I bat well, I can feel it in my bowling,&quot; Yadav, who also picked up one wicket in the second innings said after the day&#39;s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The best thing about this team is it didn&#39;t make me feel I was playing for the first time. I didn&#39;t feel out of place in the dressing room. They shared experience with me that might help me,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
