Watch: Bairstow's Stunned Reaction As He Leave Jadeja's Deceiving Delivery

For the second innings in a row, England batter Jonny Bairstow was bamboozled by an Indian spinner in the first Test. In the first innings, it was Axar Patel's unplayable delivery that outfoxed Bairstow. In the second innings, Bairstow was undone by a brilliant delivery from Ravindra Jadeja. Thinking the ball was going to turn away from him, Bairstow decided to leave Jadeja's delivery but it ended up coming in and shattered his stumps. The look on Bairstow's face explained how he fell for Jadeja's plot.

Bairstow, batting on 10 runs from 23 balls, completely failed to read Jadeja's delivery. The 24th ball of his innings turned out to be the one that sent him back to the dressing room. Here's the video:

England looked to have started well, standing at 113 for 1 at one stage but Ben Duckett's dismissal triggered a mini-collapse for the tourists. Adding another 50 runs to the total, England lost 4 more wickets. Ben Stokes was the last England batter to depart before the match headed into Tea, with the team's score reading 172/5.

With half of the England team already back to pavilion, India took a gigantic step towards wrapping up the match inside 4 days and securing a 1-0 lead in the series.

Earlier, in reply to England's first innings total of 246, India were all out for 436 in the morning session on Saturday. At Tea, England trail India by 18 runs.

Resuming at overnight 421 for seven, Jadeja (87 off 180 balls) and Axar Patel (44) shared 78 runs for the eighth wicket to hand India a big 190-run first innings lead over the visitors.

At the tea break, Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes were batting on 67 and 2 respectively.

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...

"We Talk About Kohli, Babar But...": Akram's Ultimate Praise For Rohit

India captain Rohit Sharma has made the Cricket World Cup 2023 his own, giving the team excellent starts right at the start of the innings, no matter which bowling attack he came across. Rohit's exploits at the top have played a big role in India's superlative show in the World Cup. In fact, Pakistan greats Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik even pointed out what separates Rohit from other top stars like Virat Kohli , Joe Root , Kane Williamson and Babar Azam . Akram and Malik, in a chat on A-Sports, didn't shy away from highlighting how different Rohit is from the rest, suggesting the India skipper doesn't spare any bowler from his wrath. "There's no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy no matter what the opposition or bowling attack," said Akram. "He's a kind of batter who will hit all five opposition bowler...
