Jadeja removed Labuschagne with the right-hander just nine short of a hundred while Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon departed for ducks and Matthew Wade perished trying to counter-attack. Jadeja, who only bowled three overs on the opening day of the Test match, was the first change bowler for India on Day 2 and struck in his fifth over removing the dangerous Labuschagne, who was out after edging to Ajinkya Rahane at slip.

He again struck three overs later and removed Wade, who was put trying to clear the long rope. Wade was caught by Jasprit Bumrah at mid-on. Pat Cummins fell in Jadeja’s first over post-lunch after yorking himself and Lyon was dismissed in a similar manner after failing to bat a full toss. Twitter was all praise for Jadeja as he picked three quick wickets. Take a look at some top reactions on Twitter.
