10.00 am A good half hour for India, they've hiked the total past 300 with some enterprising batting from Ravindra Jadeja, luxury really at No. 9, spearheaded a final-wicket partnership of 41 in only 59 balls. He was excellent against South Africa as well, changing 120 for 6 scorelines match-winning. In Kanpur, he had a lot more to work with.

Wagner to Yadav, OUT, has he gloved it to the keeper? Umpire Tucker says yes. Short ball again, angled into the body, cramping him, making him worry for his safety. Yadav, instinctively tried to fend it, then he realised he shouldn't bring his bat in line with the ball. But by the time he tried to take it away, it kissed the glove, glanced off his side and through to Watling

Wagner to Yadav, no run, so he's shifted a lot wider of the crease to avoid the danger area. Good length ball on off stump, defended

Wagner to Yadav, no run, beats the outside edge with a good length ball that holds its line outside off

Jigar Shah: "Watching match live as well. The way Jadeja is batting looks like finally he is doing justice to his batting. If Yadav can survive, Ind can score 350 easily in next 5 - 6 overs"

Wagner to Yadav, no run, nudges the length ball off his pads to midwicket. And it appears Wagner has been given a first warning for running on the danger area

Boult to Jadeja, FOUR, sublime timing! And clever placement as well. He had hit Latham twice in two balls, so now he doesn't open the face as much to turn him into a bystander. Ball scurries through extra like it was afraid it'd miss a bus. Forty-two off only 44 balls for Jadeja
