India vs England 3rd Test Day 1 Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja slammed an unbeaten 110 to help India reach 326/5 at stumps on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test in Rajkot. Jadeja was accompanied by nightwatchman Kuldeep Yadav, who was also unbeaten on 1. Kuldeep came out to bat after Sarfaraz Khan, on debut, was run out after a mix-up with Jadeja. Sarfaraz made 62 and completed his 50 in just 48 balls. India captain Rohit Sharma, however, led the charge with a brilliant 131. Earlier, Mark Wood with his twin strikes, and Tom Hartley, with one scalp, dented India's start before a solid 204-run partnership between Rohit and Jadeja brought the hosts back in the game.
