England vs India, First Test, Day 2: 5 Talking Points

#3 Malan's drop that turned things around

What a costly drop!

On the talking points feature for the opening day of the Test, there was a point elaborating India's slip catching woes and how they needed to improve and get better.

Well, if you had to understand why it is so important to hold onto chances, you just have to look at Dawid Malan's drop on Thursday with Virat Kohli unbeaten on 21.

The drop proved to be very, very costly as the skipper went on to make 149 and take India within touching distance of England's 1st innings score of 287.
