Soon after dropping Sam Curran at first slip, Dhawan was the culprit again as he dropped Adil Rashid at the same position. Unlike the previous one, this catch was a regulation one for a slip fielder but the opener juggled it.

Umesh Yadav bowled a full ball and Rashid went for a booming drive just to get the outside edge of his bat. As the ball was going to Dhawan at a good height, Dinesh Karthik put in a dive to his right and that may have put Dhawan off.

Dhawan got his hands on the ball in front of his chest before the red cherry popped out, hit his shoulder and then as he was falling down, he tried to catch it again but failed. Rashid survived when he was on 14 but was castled by Umesh after adding two runs to his total.
