Ravindra Jadeja who teases the route
With the final over of the day’s game, the route, on 99 and on the tail of their 37th Test century, faced a back-off-one length delivery from the young Indian pace, Sky deepThe former England captain rushed the ball to the deep backward point from his back leg, where Jadeja was deployed. A single was taken, which is shy only one run of iconic milestones. However, thereafter there was a series of gestures and a silent challenge that enhanced the competitive spirit of the game yet.
Jadeja, who is known for his athleticism and a “rocket” hand, cleaned the ball. Instead of immediately returning to the bowler, he held it for a moment, teasing Root to try a second run that would complete his hundred.

The temptation was strong – the ball’s vision in Jadeja’s hand, the opportunity to reach his century and end the day at a high – but he opposed. The Indian all-rounder, not to pass the moment, further, extended the joke by dropping the ball on the ground, invited to take the second run.
A wide smile spread on the face of the root, as he stood on his ground at the end of the non-strayer, shaking his head. This moment was a will for a classic example of respect and cricketing banquet between the two players. As soon as the last ball of the day was bowled, the route was stuck on 99, a solitary away from a landmark.

England’s measured response to Indian attack
The fickle culmination of the day was a strong and stable performance by the England batting line-up. Despite losing four wickets, the day ended in a commanding position towards the house, reaching around 251 runs. Joe was an anchor of root innings, displaying control against both elegance and speed and spin. He was well supported by the England captain, Ben stokesWhich was a picture of flexibility at the other end. Stokes finished the day with a solid, an unbeaten 39 from 102 delivery, which plays a role for the perfection of the ideal partner.
The Indian bowling unit, while disciplined, found constant challenging to continuously break through English resistance. Ravindra Jadeja was certainly a bowlers’ pickle, showing his extraordinary control and wicket -taking ability. He was particularly unhappy, scored just 26 runs from his 10 overs, while Oli Pope claimed important wickets.
