Kanpur Test, Day 4 Updates

In the 50th over of the Bangladesh innings, Mohammed Siraj bowled a fuller-length delivery. Litton Das, who tried to be aggressive from the word go after walking into bat on Monday, tried to clear the cover fielder. However, he did not get the necessary elevation. The ball was travelling when Rohit came up with a full-stretch jump.

Rohit Sharma was swarmed by his teammates as he celebrated a fine piece of fielding effort that had Bangladesh reeling at 148 for 5.

It was a wonderfully-executed wicket as India set a 'bouncer trap' for Litton Das. Siraj was expected to bowl short and trouble the wicketkeeper-batter. However, Siraj went for the bluff and bowed a fuller-length delivery. Litton did not hold back and went for an aggressive shot, only to lose his wicket for 13.
