Rohit Sharma dropped catch today: Rohit puts down straightforward catch to hand Haseeb Hameed a reprieve off Mohammed Shami at Lord’s

Rohit Sharma dropped catch: The Indian opening batsman became a culprit of erring on the field in the second session today.

During the fifth day of the second Test of the ongoing India’s tour of England at Lord’s, India opening batsman Rohit Sharma dropped a straightforward catch to hand England batsman Haseeb Hameed a huge reprieve.

It all happened on the second delivery of the sixth over when Hameed edged a Mohammed Shami out-swinger to Sharma at second slip. Sharma, who appeared to not judge the catch at all perhaps due to the light, was hit on the wrist and was in no position to complete the catch.

With Hameed running a couple of runs after the ball went towards the third-man region, Sharma seemed to be quite disappointed with his effort.

Chasing a 272-run target, England lost opening batsmen Rory Burns (0) and Dom Sibley (0) inside 10 deliveries. Another wicket in the Indian new-ball bowlers’ first spell would have really put the hosts on the back foot at the historic venue.

Earlier, it was a phenomenal unbeaten 89-run partnership for the ninth wicket between India pacers Mohammed Shami (56 not out) and Jasprit Bumrah (34 not out) which saw them setting England a target of 272 runs in 60 overs to win the match.
