Watch: Rohit Sharma's Sensational Fielding In IND vs ENG 2nd ODI

Jason Roy Run Out: Chasing a daunting total of 337 runs to win, England made a terrific start in the 2nd inning. Both Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow picked up exactly from where they left off in the first ODI match as the duo clocked the back-to-back 100-run partnership. Roy and Bairstow is perhaps the best opening partnership in ODI cricket.

Rohit Sharma’s Sensational Fielding, Jason Roy Run Out

India hardly got a sniff at the wicket with Virat Kohli’s bowlers dragged all along. India needed something to hang on to. A tiny spark. And the hosts got exactly what they were wishing for. Back in the match from the back door.
It was Rohit Sharma who did the magic in the field.
Bairstow nudged the ball into the short midwicket and called Roy for the single, who hesitated, but Rohit Sharma’s brilliant fielding effort and his accurate throw into Rishab Pant’s gloves caught Roy short of the pitch. India lost the first wicket giving India hope.
