The onus is firmly on Jadeja given India's inexperience down the order. He has Sarfaraz Khan with him, with another debutant Dhruv Jurel to follow. India have recovered but need to be cautious to not lose the grip towards the end of the final session. 400 is still miles away. India 238 for 4, Jadeja nearing the 90s.

Much-needed wicket for the English camp as Rohit walks for a brilliant 131. India 237 for 4.

Jadeja is playing the second fiddle role to perfection. He has looked good from the word go and knows the surface inside out, being the local boy. He has eased it for Rohit and the duo will look to continue to add runs and not throw their wickets given the inexperience in the lower-middle order. India 200 for 3

India captain Rohit Sharma is inching closer to his fifty during the first session of the Rajkot Test. Despite losing wickets on the other hand, Rohit held his ground and looked strong at the crease. Though he had a lucky escape with Root dropping him at the first slip off Hartley, Rohit looks comfortable to bail India out of trouble.
