Anderson delivers to Jadeja, and Sarfaraz Khan is run out! It seemed inevitable. Sarfaraz Khan’s running between the wickets always had an air of uncertainty, while Jadeja had been cautious in the 90s.
In the same over where Sarfaraz had previously dived to make his ground, he now falls short. The ball was driven to mid-on, and Jadeja initially stepped down the pitch before deciding against the single.
Sarfaraz stood no chance of returning once Wood aimed and struck the single stump in sight. It’s an unexpected wicket for England. Jadeja was eager to reach his century, and Sarfaraz was willing to assist, but it’s turned sour for India.
Despite Sarfaraz looking in fine form, he departs in unfortunate circumstances. Rohit, observing the turn of events, expresses his frustration by tossing his cap in disbelief and letting out an expletive, echoing the famous reaction of Ben Stokes.
Rohit sharma was not happy with Sarfaraz run out….

Jadeja was too mean to betray a debutant. Nevertheless, Well Played Sarfu 🔥pic.twitter.com/oa3CoF8fxF
On the following delivery, Jadeja reaches his century, marked by the usual sword-swirl celebration, but without any grand festivities. The run-out of Sarfaraz on the last ball has dampened Jadeja’s mood.
He guides the length delivery to deep backward square leg, securing his fourth Test century. Despite achieving this milestone, Jadeja remains dismayed by Sarfaraz’s dismissal.
