England v India: Rohit Sharma makes first overseas hundred at The Oval
Rohit Sharma's imperious century gave India the edge over England after three days of a fascinating fourth Test at The Oval.
Rohit benefitted from being dropped for the second time by Rory Burns, the man who also missed the chance to catch him on the second evening. Faced with overheads that would have encouraged the bowlers, the tourists collectively stuck to old-fashioned Test values to bat themselves into a position from which they will be considered favourites.Some of England's problems are of their own making. They could have bowled India out more cheaply on day one and been more ruthless with the bat on day two. In total, they have missed six catches.
In this, his 25th away Test, he played with discipline, determination and control to finally reach three figures overseas. Pujara painfully rolled his ankle early in his innings, yet played with uncharacteristic fluency, especially on the cut. The dropped catches have proved incredibly costly and Joe Root's side were strangely reluctant to go short - Rohit barely faced a bouncer until after tea.
