Actually, Ravindra Jadeja was on strike on the fifth ball of the 82nd over of the innings. He played a shot towards mid-on off James Anderson's ball. He was on the score of 99 runs. Jadeja was trying to complete his century by taking one run. He proceeded to run and then stopped. Sarfaraz, standing at the other end, had advanced a lot. Mark Wood, standing at mid-on, hit the throw straight on the stump. Sarfaraz was run out in his first innings.
When Sarfaraz came into the field, Jadeja was playing on 84 runs. From here it seemed that first Jadeja would score a century, after that Sarfaraz would show his power. But the opposite appeared to be the case. Sarfaraz played a brilliant inning of 62 runs in 66 balls while playing a baseball game.
The special thing in this was that Jadeja could score only 15 runs during Sarfaraz's innings. When Sarfaraz was out, Jadeja was playing on 99 runs. That means Jaddu could not even score a century and Sarfaraz returned to the pavilion after showing his magic. However, Sarfaraz's luck was bad, he was run out.
