Ben Stokes dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for 101 runs.
England skipper Ben Stokes cleaned up India’s centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal with a ripper of a delivery on Day one of the first Test between the two teams at Headingley, Leeds on Friday.
It was a length ball angling around off-stump from Ben Stokes in the third ball of the 53rd over and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked to drive down the ground. However, he ended up getting beaten on the outside edge as the ball sent the stumps flying.
Yashasvi Jaiswal played a confident knock of 101 runs from 159 balls, hitting 16 fours and one six. He opened the innings with KL Rahul (42), with whom he forged 91 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s exquisite cover drives against Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue were some of the major highlights of his knock.
The Mumbai batter showcased his aggressive intent from quite early on in the game, right from when he hit Chris Woakes for a couple of boundaries.
