1 Ollie Pope dropped by Shubman Gill
On Day One, England’s No. 3 batter was dropped off the first ball of his first innings by the India skipper at gully. Pope tried to drive Nitish Kumar Reddy, but only managed a thick edge that flew to Gill’s right for a sharp, low chance. Pope went on to make 44.
2 Jamie Smith shelled by KL Rahul
On Day 2, Rahul dropped a dolly that came at chest height in second slip when Smith was on five. Pacer Mohammed Siraj was shocked. England’s wicketkeeper-batter went on to score 51 in the first innings.
3 Rishabh Pant run out by Ben Stokes
Just before lunch on Day three, Pant tapped the ball on the off-side and called KL Rahul for a risky single, but England skipper Ben Stokes’s lightning quick pick up and throw caught the wicketkeeper-batter short at the non-striker’s, ending a 141-run fourth-wicket
stand.
4 Mini-collapse in the first innings
India’s weak lower order was exposed yet again late on Day Three as they collapsed from 376-6 to 387 all out, losing four wickets for just 11 runs, finishing exactly on England’s total.
5 Yashasvi Jaiswal’s reckless shot
Chasing 193, India needed sensible, patient batting, with over three sessions left, but Jaiswal, yet to open his account, chose to pull one off pacer Jofra Archer only to top-edge it to wicketkeeper Smith. India lost four quick wickets for just 58 by the end of Day Four.
