Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja bagged his second wicket of the innings by cleaning up Glenn Phillips on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against New Zealand on Friday, October 18. The match is being played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The dismissal happened on the third ball of the 63rd over. Jadeja bowled a length delivery aimed at the middle, which skidded slightly as Phillips attempted to defend. The ball passed his inside edge, struck his back pad, and then went on to hit the stumps.

Here’s a video of the dismissal:

The right-handed batter scored 14 runs off 18 balls, including one boundary and one six. Phillips' dismissal left the visitors at 223 for six after 62.3 overs.
