Walking in at No. 6 with India struggling at 188/4 and still trailing by 123 runs to avoid an innings defeat, Jadeja displayed tremendous application and intent at the crease. He brought up his half-century off 87 balls and went on to complete a gritty hundred in 182 deliveries, reaching the landmark with a six off Harry Brook.

Jadeja, along with Washington Sundar, forged a brilliant unbeaten 203-run partnership off 334 balls for the fifth wicket. While Jadeja stayed not out on 107 off 185 balls, Sundar completed his century with an unbeaten 101 off 206 deliveries. India finished their second innings at 425/4 after 143 overs, leading by 114 runs, as the two sides shook hands with the match ending in a draw.

Ravindra Jadeja has been in sublime form with the bat in the ongoing ENG-IND series
