W
Tongue to Jadeja, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Rip-roaring bumper from Tongue and the superb partnership is finally broken! Absolute brute of a delivery. Round the wicket, dug in short and beats Jadeja for pace and bounce as he looks to fend it off. He's jumping in the crease but it still gets big on him and balloons off the glove to the keeper. It needed something special to lift England and Tongue has produced it. Jadeja c Jamie Smith b Tongue 89(137) [4s-10 6s-1]
