England\u2019s Keaton Jennings struck a century on his Test debut on day one of the fourth Test against India, on this day in 2016.<\/p>\n

Jennings (112) made the most of some early fortune in Mumbai, being dropped on nought by Karun Nair and also surviving a close umpire\u2019s call for lbw against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, on his way to a 186-ball hundred.<\/p>\n

It was a contribution which looked to have put England ahead of the game as they reached 288 for five at stumps after Alastair Cook won a crucial toss.<\/p>\n

However, after making exactly 400 in their first innings, England ultimately lost by an innings and 36 runs as they were bowled out for 195 on their second attempt after the home side made a mammoth 631 in their first innings.<\/p>\n

That meant England became only the third team in Test history to lose a match by an innings after making 400 or more first time round.<\/p>\n

Jennings was assured after his early scrapes and hit 13 boundaries in stands of 99 with Cook and 94 with Moeen Ali (50) as England negotiated the wiles of spinner Ravi Ashwin (four for 75).<\/p>\n

Jennings completed his hundred with a reverse-swept four off Jayant Yadav as he put England in a position of promise as they sought to battle back from 2-0 down with two Tests to play.<\/p>\n

The South Africa-born batter went on to play a total of 17 Tests for England, the last of which came against West Indies in February 2019.<\/p>\n

Jennings was appointed Lancashire captain in all three formats for the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
