All

W
Harmer to Jadeja, out Lbw!! 91.5kph, Jadeja has been adjudged lbw and he is in disbelief as he looks at Washington. He decides to review it. Flighted ball from round the wicket and Harmer gets it to dip nicely on the batter. Jadeja has his bat behind the pad and he gets hit on the boot on the half-volley. No bat. Over to ball-tracking and it's three reds! Jadeja failed to squeeze it out. The impact is over 2.5m but it's adjacent to the stumps. Plumb and India burn a review. The partnership looked busy and once again it's Harmer who has provided the key breakthrough. Jadeja lbw b Harmer 18(26) [4s-2]
