Jaiswal gets slip catching practice ahead of Day 3
Ahead of the start of play on Day 3, India fielding coach T Dilip was seen giving Jaiswal slip catching practice. Yashasvi was the only player who was a part of that session. India had a frustrating day on Saturday, with Bumrah being robbed of at least a couple of wickets.
Jaiswal first dropped Ben Duckett in final delivery of the 5th over while fielding at gully. The ball managed to a thick edge off the batter’s willow and flew to Jaiswal. Despite the fielder putting in a dive, he failed to hold on to the ball and ended up conceding a boundary.
Duckett once again got a lifeline as Jadeja, unexpectedly, dropped an easy catch in the 8th over. The all-rounder failed to take the catch while fielding at backward point, costing Bumrah a wicket.
The third drop catch came while Jaiswal was fielding at third slip. The fielder attempted to take a catch with both his hands but the ball hit his wrist and pounced out of his hands. Once again, it was Bumrah who was bowling and was robbed of a wicket.
What happened on Day 2 of ENG vs IND 1st Test?
England ended Day 2 with 209/3, trailing India by 262 runs. Jasprit Bumrah gave a lifeline to Harry Brook with a no-ball. But he was the only bowler to get wickets for India. Bumrah removed Zak Crawley in the first over but England fought back with Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope adding a century stand.
While Bumrah dismissed Duckett, Pope scored a century to remain unbeaten. Duckett scored 62 while Joe Root fell to Bumrah for the 10th time, scoring 28.
