WATCH: Josh Tongue bounces out Ravindra Jadeja on 89 in ongoing ENG vs IND 2nd Test

Ravindra Jadeja missed his hundred by just 11 runs. He got out for 89 after facing a tough bouncer from Josh Tongue. The England fast bowler bowled it short and sharp. Jadeja tried to play it but could only glove it to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith.

It was a big moment because Jadeja and Shubman Gill had put together a huge 203-run partnership. Jadeja hit 10 fours and a six in his strong, steady innings. Even though he got out just before lunch on Day 2 in Birmingham, his knock helped India get into a strong position.

Shubman Gill played really well too. He smashed a big sweep shot for six off Shoaib Bashir to bring up the 200-run stand. At lunch, he was still unbeaten on 168, looking calm and in control.
