The southpaw, who single-handedly led Indias batting with no half century from the other end, was dismissed for 209 off 290 balls.
The left-handed batter, who powered his innings with 19 fours and 7 sixes, was sent back to the pavilion by English bowling veteran James Anderson, who clinched three wickets for 47 runs at a stupendous economy of 1.90 per over.

After Jaiswals departure, the Indian batting order, which saw many unfinished starts, couldnt survive for long as the hosts were bundled out for 396.
Shubman Gill (34), Patidar (32), Axar Patel (27), Shreyas Iyer (27) were some of the batters, whose dismissals brought England back to the game at different times on the first day of the play.
