India skipper Rohit Sharma rued multiple missed chances on the field after his team suffered a crushing 100-run defeat in the second ODI against England at Lord’s on Thursday (July 14).

Jasprit Bumrah dropped Jason Roy in the 8th over and the latter went on to forge a handy 41-run opening stand with Jonny Bairstow. David Willey got a lifeline in the 31st over as Prasidh Krishna spilled his catch. He was eventually dismissed in the 47th over for 49-ball 41.

While Rohit hailed his bowlers for restricting the hosts to 246 all-out in 49 overs, he expressed his disappointment over the batting and fielding performances.

"We bowled pretty well. They had the partnership in the middle with Moeen and Willey. Not that the target wasn't chaseable, we just didn't get there,” Rohit said in the post-match presentation ceremony.

“[On the dropped catch of Willey] If you want to win games, you have to take those catches... All in all, we bowled well. We just didn't bat well. I thought the pitch would get better, but there was something for the bowlers throughout,” he added.

In reply, India’s innings folded for a paltry 146 in 38.5 overs. It was a listless batting display from the tourists as no one even managed to cross the 30-run mark. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja were the joint top-scorer with 29 runs each. Reece Topley returned with the career-best ODI figures of 6/24 for England.

Commenting on the batting performance, Rohit said they have a long tail and one of the top-order batters needs to get a big score.

“[Is the long tail an issue?] That has been there for a long time now... We have enough of bowling options, but we do understand we have a long tail. One of the top-order guys must bat as long as possible... A lot to look forward to. We will get there, see the conditions and adapt," he remarked.
