Ravindra Jadeja scored his first overseas Test hundred and Stuart Broad bowled the most expensive over in Test cricket history, but the second day of the series-deciding Test between England and India was Jasprit Bumrah's.

The stand-in skipper improbably broke the record for the most runs scored by a batsman in an over, smiting 29 off a Broad over that went for 35 - including five runs and a no ball.
That lifted India, who had been 5-98, to 416.
Bumrah then took 3-35 as England closed on 5-84, 332 runs behind and needing 133 to avoid the follow-on.
England need to win the Test to level a series delayed after cases of COVID-19 in the Indian camp before the fifth Test last summer.
Resuming on 7-338, India added a rapid 78 runs in an hour with Jadeja reaching his well-deserved century before getting out for 104 trying to hit James Anderson.
Broad, meanwhile, had finally gained his 550th Test wicket - and first of the innings - when Mohammed Shami was caught by Jack Leach after a sustained period of short-pitched bowling.
He maintained that policy against Bumrah but was hooked, slashed and edged for fours and sixes while a wide bounced over the wicketkeeper for a five.
Broad's new unwanted record came 15 years after he conceded 36 runs in an over against India's Yuvraj Singh in a T20 match.
Anderson ended the fun, having Siraj well caught by Broad to pick up his 32nd fivefer in Test cricket finishing with 5-60.
Having swapped bat for ball Bumrah wrecked England's upper order batting. He bowled Alex Lees (six) and had Zak Crawley (nine) and Ollie Pope (10) caught in the slips.
After a lengthy rain delay (there were only 38.5 overs played in the day) Mohammed Siraj earned India the prize wicket with a rising delivery which Joe Root edged caught behind for 31.
Jack Leach walked out as the nightwatchman but lasted only five balls before he was also caught by Risbabh Pant off Shami.
The close came soon after with Jonny Bairstow on 12 and skipper Ben Stokes yet to open his account.
