It was the kind of moment that makes players and fans groan in unison. Just three runs away from his hundred, Ben Duckett got a life dropped in the slips by Yashasvi Jaiswal off Mohammed Siraj’s bowling. On a tense Day 5 at Headingley, with India hunting for a breakthrough, it felt like a big moment slipping through their fingers.
Duckett had been batting beautifully, timing everything and looking in complete control. Then came the edge sharp, quick, but catchable. Jaiswal, standing at second slip, got there in time but couldn’t hold on. Siraj, who had been steaming in and giving it everything, couldn’t hide his disappointment.
In matches this tight, those small moments matter. One drop, and suddenly the pressure shifts. Duckett made the most of it, and India had to work even harder for that next wicket. For Jaiswal, it’s the kind of miss that stays with you not because it was easy, but because it came at such a big moment. That’s Test cricket for you: unforgiving and full of fine margins.

Man has now dropped 4-5 catches alone.
Ben Duckett scored 100 and now he is on 126, all thanks to Jaiswal. #ENGvsIND https://t.co/6UUv0gqrFs
