On the third day of the Birmingham Test, the young Indian opener did a controversial review, which disrupted the peace. It happened in the second innings, when Jaiswal wanted to go for a DRS to check his LBW dismissal. However, he allegedly made the call after the stipulated 15 seconds had passed. Despite that, the on-field umpire Sharfuddoullah granted the plea.

Watching that, the English captain, Ben Stokes, intervened and had a heated argument with the umpire. The heat went up so much that Jaiswal's opening partner, KL Rahul, had to come in and control the situation.

Even the English crowd went rowdy, booing Jaiswal. However, despite all the drama, Jaiswal could not survive the call. In the review, it was shown that the ball is smoothly hitting the leg stumps. Jaiswal had to leave, scoring 28 runs off 25 balls.

Josh Tongue struck early in India’s second innings by trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal leg-before. Bowling from around the wicket, Tongue delivered a length ball that angled in late. Jaiswal, looking to flick it away, missed the line completely and was struck on the front pad.

India ended Day 3 of the second Test in Birmingham at 64/1, extending their overall lead to 244 runs. KL Rahul (28*) and Karun Nair (7*) remain unbeaten after the early loss of Yashasvi Jaiswal for 28. Notably, Jaiswal had earlier scored a fluent 87 in the first innings but couldn’t convert in the second.

The visitors had posted a mammoth 587 in their first innings, powered by Shubman Gill’s majestic 269 and Jadeja’s 89. England responded with 407, thanks to Harry Brook’s 158 and debutant Jamie Smith’s unbeaten 184. However, Mohammed Siraj (6/70) and Akash Deep (4/88) ensured a 180-run lead for India.

Despite some early resistance in England's reply, their collapse from 387/5 to 407 all-out shifted the momentum. With two full days left and a strong lead, India look set to dictate terms.
