Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit his sixth Test century and Akash Deep his maiden half-century as India extended their overall lead to 281 runs by taking the tea break on day three of the fifth and final match at 304 for six here Saturday.

Overnight batters Jaiswal (118) and Akash Deep (66) shared a 107-run partnership for the third wicket but other Indian batters struggled to convert starts into solid innings at The Oval.

Ravindra Jadeja (26) and Dhurv Jurel (25) were at the crease at the break.
