Watch: Drops A Sitter And Then Takes A Screamer - The Jasprit Bumrah-Ben Stokes Story
Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes made a good start for England on Day 3 of the ongoing rescheduled Test against India at Edgbaston as the duo scored briskly, putting pressure on the Jasprit Bumrah-led side. To make matters worse, Stokes' catch was first dropped by Shardul Thakur and it looked like India could have a long day in the field. However, Shardul made up for his mistake as he ended up taking the wicket of Stokes.
However, the situation unfolded in dramatic fashion. On the third ball of the 38th over, India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah dropped a rather easy catch of Stokes at mid-off and there was disappointment all around. However, the captain made up for his mistake on the very next ball as he took a stunning catch to send Stokes packing for 25.
Stokes struck the ball pretty hard but Bumrah dived to his left to take a sharp catch.
