    IND V ENG: Poor Batting In Second Innings, Missed Chances Reason For Defeat In First Test, Says Rohit Sharma

    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: India captain Rohit Sharma cited poor batting by his top-order and chances put down by his fielders as the reason for the hosts losing to England by 28 runs in the first Test of the five-match series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.

    India gained a 190-run lead in the first innings but allowed the visitors to recover from 163/5 as Ollie Pope struck a magnificent 196 helping England reach 420 in their second innings, setting India a target of 231. In response, India were bowled out for 202 and lost the match within four days.

    "Hard to pinpoint where it went wrong. With a lead of 190, we were in control but exceptional batting -- probably one of the best I've seen in Indian conditions, well played Ollie Pope. I thought 230 was gettable but it wasn't to be," said India captain Rohit Sharma at the post-match presentation on Sunday.
