Yashasvi Jaiswal injures himself while taking a sharp catch, replaced by Axar on the field

In the final delivery of the 55th over, during the fifth over of the day, Mitchell attempted to guide the length delivery from Mohammed Siraj towards point for a boundary. However, he only managed to get a thick outside edge, sending the ball straight towards gully. Jaiswal showed his fielding prowess by quickly reacting to the sharp catch and taking it with ease.

However, he was immediately seen shaking his fingers and grimacing in pain. India captain Rohit Sharma walked up to him to ask if he was okay, but Jaiswal clutched his fingers, before he made his way out of the field for some medical attention. He was replaced by Axar on the field, while Sarfaraz Khan took his position in the slip cordon.

This was India's second injury concern in the match, where they were folded for just 46 in the opening innings, their lowest-ever score at home and third-lowest overall. Earlier on Day 1, Pant had injured his knee while wicketkeeping. He was immediately attended by the physio before being helped out of the field. Dhruv Jurel stepped up in his position for the remainder of the day.

Rohit later told the media that it was the same knee where he underwent surgery in 2023 following a car crash. "Unfortunately, the knee. The ball went and hit straight on his knee cap, the leg which he had surgery on. So, he has got a little bit of swelling on it. The muscles are bit tender at this point of time. It's a precautionary measure," Rohit said in the press conference.

Pant did not take the field on Day 3 as BCCI shared an update saying: "The Medical Team is monitoring his progress."
