England vs India 5th Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal produced another impactful effort with the bat and helped India take the upper hand in the second Test during the fifth and final Test against England at the Kennington Oval on Saturday.

Jaiswal smashed his sixth Test century, second in the ongoing five-match series as India extended their lead on the third day. With a remarkable effort, Jaiswal scripted history as he went past the great Sachin Tendulkar in an elite list.

Jaiswal now has the most fifty plus scores by an Indian against England at the age of 23. This was Jaiswal's ninth 50-plus score in 19 innings against England, while Tendulkar finished his career with eight in 14. The 23-year-old scored his fourth Test hundred against England.
