🏏 India vs England, 4th Test-- JSCA Stadium Complex, Ranchi 🏏 - Page 21

102.1

Jadeja to Robinson, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Robinson has gifted his wicket away. First time he attempts a fancy shot - reverse sweep - in this innings and perishes. This was flatter and around off, Robinson looks to reverse sweep but only manages to get a glove, Jurel stays low and hangs on to a sharp catch. Dharamsena got the decision right but Robinson wanted to try his luck with DRS. The bat was not close to the turf and the spike was when ball was close to the glove. Robinson c Dhruv Jurel b Jadeja 58(96) [4s-9 6s-1]

Jadeja to Robinson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

102.4

Jadeja to Shoaib Bashir, out Caught by Rajat Patidar!! Second wicket in the over. That was a poor shot from the young offie. But why did Root take the single? It is time for him to shield his partners and score as much as possible. Bashir saw a bit of flight and looked to slog across the line, gets a big leading edge and the ball balloons towards backward point, Patidar runs back a few steps and takes a good catch. Shoaib Bashir c Rajat Patidar b Jadeja 0(2)

Jadeja to Shoaib Bashir, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Bilal: "DISAPPOINTED that Root ended 0.15 short of a 50 average!" He's been hovering around that mark for years, can never quite nail his colours either side! But that was an innings of rare class.

Ajay: "Btw this is only the 6th time England have played more than 100 overs under Bazball era"... indeed, and by a distance their lowest return for such endurance... a slower rate even than their relative grind against South Africa at Old Trafford, the innings that perhaps best resembles this performance. In fact, filter it by strike-rate, and it's their third-slowest of this period too. Their only slower performances are their first of the era, at Lord's in 2022, and their last at Rajkot. Make of that what you will.

Kritki: "Jurel looks like a big upgrade from Bharat. If can score some milestone marks this will be his job to loose. I like what i have seen so far." Yes, looks lively with good hands

Ravi sankar: "Well said Kritik, when Pant returns fully recovered, there will, surely be a stiff competition for the position. But Jurel has to give sustained performance"

Rohit Sharma OUT

India 4/1.

Gill at the crease.

Anderson to Rohit, out Caught by Foakes!! Edged and caught! An audible edge and Rohit walks off, leaving the Ranchi crowd in shock. Lovely channel from Anderson, pitched up and holding its line outside off, Rohit's feet hardly moved as he pushed forward, gets a thin edge and Foakes does the rest. A perfect start for England, needed to strike with the new ball and Anderson has done just that. Rohit c Foakes b Anderson 2(9)

Anderson to Rohit, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
