India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja dragged the ball onto the stumps for 11 runs on Day 2 of the first Test against England at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, June 21. With the dismissal, Josh Tongue removed the last recognized batter as India suffered a collapse, losing their last seven wickets for 51 runs. However, the visitors added 112 runs to their scorecard after resuming the day on 359/3.
The dismissal came in the 113th over of India’s first innings, the fourth over after the tea break. Tongue delivered a back-of-a-length ball, which moved in sharply. Jadeja went for a late cut but only managed a thick inside edge before the ball crashed into the stumps. As a result, Tongue scalped his third wicket before finishing with impressive figures of 4/86.
