RAJKOT, India (Reuters) -India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and home hero Ravindra Jadeja combined to fashion a 434-run romp to victory against England in the third test on Sunday, exposing holes in the touring side's high-risk approach in the process.

There was no inkling of any imminent collapse when opener Ben Duckett smashed an 88-ball hundred to lead England's strong reply to India's first-innings 445 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
