Yashasvi Jaiswal starts and ends Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with centuries, scores his 6th Test ton at the Oval

Yashasvi Jaiswal on Saturday scored his sixth Test century off 125 balls as he led India’s charge against England on Day 3 of the fifth Test at the Oval. Jaiswal hit 11 fours and two sixes en route to the century, which is his second of the series. He has thus bookended the series with centuries, having scored one in the first innings of the first Test earlier.

Jaiswal was dropped twice towards the end of Day 2 in which he took the attack to the opposition. The first was when he was on 20 with Harry Brook putting him down at second slip. Then he was given another chance quite spectacularly by Liam Dawson while he was on 40, with the latter dropping it despite the ball coming straight to him at a rather comfortable pace.
