Tendulkar Trophy Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a gritty 118 as India extended their lead over England by 281 runs after reaching 304/6 in 71 overs at tea on day three of fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at The Oval on Saturday.
It was a session where honours were shared between both teams - India making 115 runs, with Jaiswal reaching his sixth Test century – incidentally the left-handed opener began his tour of England with a ton at Headingley. His knock of 118 came off 164 balls, laced with 14 fours and two sixes, held immense value as it came in front of his parents and elder brother present in the stadium’s stands.
England picked three wickets in the session, though they still have a lot to ponder in terms of their bowling effort. With Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel unbeaten on 26 and 25 respectively, India will be aiming to pick as many runs as possible before the second new ball comes into the picture after nine overs of the final session.
