The bowlers then completed the job with ease, restricting the home team to 121 for seven.
Veteran seamer Ashish Nehra was the pick of the Indian bowling attack, picking up three wickets for 23 runs in his quota of four overs.
The other bowlers - Jasprit Bumrah, Pandya and Ashwin picked - were not as successful as Nehra but conceded exactly the same number of runs from as many overs.
Jadeja could not join them as he finished with figures of 1/25
