6.Fifty for Jadeja
Roston Chase to Jadeja, two dots before he smashes the third ball with an open face of the bat to third man for a FOUR and a second consecutive fifty for Jadeja. He clinched on at the Oval Test too. He waits for a few seconds before he breaks into his trademark 'sword celebration.' Umesh Yadav comes to him laughing acknowledging his effort. The match is underway in Rajkot, Jadeja's home ground and the crowd goes crazy watching Jadeja take on the bowlers in style. A few overs later, Jadeja brings up India's 600 with a massive SIX over long-on. PC: AFP
7.Sword-celebration returns in Rajkot!
After 37 Tests and 55 innings, Ravindra Jadeja finally scored his maiden Test ton during the Day two of the first Test between India and West Indies at his home ground of Rajkot on Friday. The moment came in the 150th over; Jadeja ran for a single and didn't stop for a while. He closed his eyes soaking the moment and looked skywards before the sword celebration returned. PC: AFP
8.Terrible start for the Windies
Team India declared at 649 for 9 before the tourists suffered two early blows after Mohammed Shami removed their openers inside first five overs of the innings. Kraigg Braithwaite got bowled for just two runs, while Kieran Powell was trapped leg before wicket two overs later leaving West Indies at 7 for 2. PC: AFP
9.More trouble for Windies, two more go
West Indies' key batsman Shai Hope gets beaten by outside edge and bowled off Ashwin's bowling. The next wicket turned out to be a frustrating affair for the tourists, while it was hilarious for Kohli and his boys. Hetmyer whips the ball to the mid-on and Ambris charges down for a single. Hetmyer changes his mind and begins running back but comes second. Yes, both the batsmen Hetmyer and Ambris end at the same side. Jadeja meanwhile in a delightful mood is jogging to the wicket in his own amusement and is clearly enjoying the entire scene, his smile says it all. Scared of this backfiring terribly, his teammates had to yell at him so that he doesn't miss the runout's chance.
What scenes at Rajkot right now. PC: AFP
10.India well on top at stumps
West Indies ended the day at 94/6 from 29 overs, with Shane Dowrich being the last man to fall. The right-hander went for a wild slog but was cleaned up by Kuldeep Yadav. India lead by a mammoth 555 runs with three days of play left in Rajkot. PC: AFP.
