The Indian cricket team is currently locking horns with England for the fourth match of the 5-match Test series at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton. After winning the toss, the English skipper Joe Root decided to bat first with two changes in eth squad with Moeen Ali and Sam Curran replaced, Ollie pope and Chris Woakes respectively. On the other hand, Virat Kohli for the first time in his captaincy career of 38 Tests decided to go with an unchanged squad compared to the previous Test.

Root’s decision to bat first has back-fired as they lost their first wicket on the first bowl of the third over of the match bowled by Jasprit Bumrah only to leave Keaton Jennings clueless who trapped in front of the middle stump.  

Jennings played no stroke to the bowl which was pitched at the leg stump by Bumrah and as a result, he was trapped plumb in front. The bowl was pitched in line with leg stump, then shoot through at knee height and Jennings simply padded up. It was a kind of brain fade from Jennings, who miserable series continues.

However, Jennings’ dismissal can’t be termed as a brain freeze as some of the earlier stats suggested that only 2% of deliveries in Bumrah’s Test career have swung more than the wicket ball. Still, the delivery surprised Keaton as playing no stroke at a ball hitting middle is never a great idea.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
