India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed an impressive century (101 off 159) in the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds on June 20 (Friday). With this, Jaiswal became the fifth Indian batter to score a hundred on debut in England, joining an elite group of players.
Here's list of 5 Indian batters, who have scored century in first Test innings in England:
The second Test, scheduled for December 6 to 10 at Adelaide Oval, will feature the day-night format under the stadium lights.

Patil has served as the director of National Cricket Academy (NCA) and chairman of the BCCI Selection Committee.
Rohit recently blasted a record third ODI double ton, leading the home side to a 2-1 win in the three-match rubber against Sri Lanka in the absence of regular skipper Kohli, who took a break to tie the knot with Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma.
Two men who have been in the centre of talk are MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. Both men are almost in their late 30s and there has been constant speculation on their future.
The 60-year-old even criticised CAC's decision to withhold the result on Monday citing reasons that they are presently not in a hurry and that they would like to speak to the indian skipper Virat Kohli before announcing the news.
"Any organisation, if they hire him (Patil), will think 10 times that after leaving the organization, he will speak about the organisation," he said.
Patil made a shocking revelation soon after he was officially replaced by MSK Prasad.
Patil termed Dhoni's decision to retire from Tests as "shocking" as the team was having a tough Test series Down Under.
Speculations were rife about the batting maestro hanging up his boots, before he did so through a BCCI release in October 2013.
With so much debate around their selection, Dhawan and Rohit will be under tremendous pressure against NZ.
On the last day of his job, chairman of the selection committee faced several interesting questions from reporters.
"There are some matters between the selectors and BCCI which should remain confidential and cannot be revealed," said Patil.
Rohit Sharma, one of India's most prolific run-scorers in limited-overs cricket, has failed to live up to the expectation in Tests.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), for the first time, will announce the squad for the three-match Test series, which starts on September 22.
The present norm of appointing a selection committee is through recommendations from zones, with the BCCI top brass finalising the panel.
The meeting was also attended by chief national selector Sandeep Patil.
Other big names in the race were Ravi Shastri and Sandeep Patil.
