India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for 11 on Day 2 of the opening Test against England at Headingley, Leeds, on Saturday, June 21, after dragging the ball onto his stumps. His wicket marked the fall of the last recognized batter, triggering a dramatic collapse in which India lost their final seven wickets for just 51 runs.
Despite the setback, the visitors had earlier added 112 runs to their overnight total, having resumed the day at 359/3. Jadeja’s dismissal occurred in the 113th over, shortly after the tea interval. England pacer Josh Tongue bowled a back-of-a-length delivery that jagged in sharply.
Attempting a late cut, Ravindra Jadeja edged the ball onto his stumps via a thick inside edge. The wicket was Tongue’s third of the innings, and he went on to finish with notable figures of 4 for 86. You can watch the video here:
