Luckily enough, the 35-year-old was alright and continued to bat. Talking about the game, the visitors are in deep trouble as they have lost five wickets and have only 90 runs on the board at the time of writing. Three overs after Rohit's incident, the team lost the wicket of Shubman Gill to Will Davis. Gill (21) was caught behind by Pant. Sharma (25) could not get a big score as he was caught by Abidine Sakande off Roman Walker.

Hanuma Vihari (3) couldn't do much as he became the second victim of Walker. Prasidh Krishna took the wicket of Shreyas Iyer while Walker took his third after trapping Ravindra Jadeja for lbw. At Lunch, the likes of Virat Kohli and Srikar Bharat are at the crease and will be looking to get some runs under their belt unlike their teammates.

The dressing room at this stage at this stage will be a little tense but they would want to recover from this in the next session. Also, they would like to see Kohli getting a big score ahead of the much-anticipated fifth Test, starting on July 1.
