In the fifth over of England's first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Ben Duckett's catch on 11 runs. In the seventh over, India's top-ranked fielder, Ravindra Jadeja, dropped the catch of the left-hander on 15 runs. Later, the Englishman registered a score of 62 runs (Pic: File Pic)
In the 31st over, Jaiswal yet again found himself at a place where he dropped the catch of another batsman, Ollie Pop,e on 60 runs. From there on, the right-hander smashed 106 runs in 137 balls (Pic: File Pic)
In the 72nd over, Rishabh Pant dropped Harry Brook's catch on 46 runs. The luck continued to be on Brook's favour as he was yet again dropped by Jaiswal in the 85th over. The 26-year-old then registered 99 runs (Pic: File Pic)
Debutant Sai Sudharsan was the next culprit, who allowed Jamie Smith a second life after spilling his catch in the 72nd over when he had just 19 runs across his name. Smith continued to bat for the next 7.5 overs and returned with 40 (Pic: AFP)
The story remained the same in the second innings as well when Jasprit Bumrah dropped the catch of Zak Crawley in his own over. The batsman then went on to score from 38 to 65 runs for England in the second essay (Pic: AFP)
Jaiswal dropped a record fourth opportunity when he spilt Duckett's catch in the 39th over when the southpaw was at 97. He punished India for the mistake and returned to the dressing room with 149 after 15.5 overs (Pic: File Pic)
