At only 23 years, Yashasvi Jaiswal launches as if his own oval. His punch fifty late on day 2 was not just Gutsy – it was a smart cricket. When the ball was doing a little under the cloudy sky, Jaiswal took an attack on the English Pacers and cut out pressure as a seasoned professional.
He found gaps, punished short things, and most importantly, he kept the score. When India closed 120 for 1, this intention could only tilt the game. But the work is far from finished. When the clouds float again and the new ball is still quite fresh, Jaiswal will have to dig deep this morning. If he was holding around, India could build a sufficiently big lead to seriously worry in England. But a few fast goals and we are back on square.
Large session incoming!
