Rana tempted Young into playing the cut, but the batter couldn’t keep the ball down while staying back. Jadeja was quick off the mark, flinging himself to the right and holding on cleanly. The chance wasn’t straightforward, though he made it look assured.

Young’s knock of 30 from 41 deliveries, which included five boundaries and a six, came to an end as the 53-run partnership was broken. The dismissal handed Harshit Rana his second scalp of the innings, sparking an animated celebration from India, led by Virat Kohli, as the momentum swung back their way.
