The pair shared a second-wicket stand of 252 after coming together at 109-1 after Zak Crawley's exit for 56.

Jadeja was able to reach the milestone in his 62nd Test match – three matches ahead of India legend Kapil Dev who did it in 65 games. Overall, Jadeja claimed the second spot just behind legendary England all-rounder Ian Botham who achieved this impressive feat in just 55 matches.
