Jaggi, batted patiently and was unfortunate not to have scored a century, falling 10 runs short. Jaggi scored 90 runs, facing 182 balls and struck 17 well executed fours.
Spinner C P Shahid, who gave ample support to warrier, by capturing 3 for 63.
India medium pacer S Sreesanth, who had captured 4/28 in the first innings, went wicketless in the second innings.
