Jags back in/nips back in
Steyn to Harbhajan, no run, jags back in from a good length, Harbhajan is hit on the thigh guard looking to work that away
Morkel to Tendulkar, no run, nips back in from outside off, he watches it through to the keeper
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
Though I know the both phrases describe the movement of a ball.

If describing the movement of the ball, "nips back in" means that, when the ball bounces, it moves sharply towards the batsman's wicket. "jags back in" presumably means much the same thing.
