da fezbet： An edge that everyone on the field missed, and a dismissal that hushed Eden Gardens’ raucous crowd feature in the plays of the day from the third ODI in Kolkata

England had come through their trial by seam with flying colours, in particular Jason Roy, whose judicious use of the clip off the pads had allowed him to tick along at close to a run a ball in spite of an often unplayable diet of lifters outside off stump. But when, after an exploratory burst from Yuvraj Singh, Ravindra Jadeja entered the attack in the 16th over with his restrictive left-arm darts, Roy was initially equal to the challenge. A first-ball sashay down the pitch, a flowing fling of the arms, and England’s first six of the innings soared back over the bowler’s head to bring up Roy’s third fifty in as many matches.Bunny of the day
That six, however, proved to be something of a false start. When Roy was finally dismissed for 65, the manner of his departure was all too familiar. For the third time in three innings, Jadeja had the better of England’s opener, sliding one into his stumps as Roy set himself for the cut but was defeated by the fuller length. Incidentally, Roy had fallen two balls shy of the 20-over mark. He’s only batted beyond that point five times in his 34 ODI innings to date.Net Loss of the day
Jasprit Bumrah thought for a few moments he’d made another critical breakthrough when, on 28, Jonny Bairstow wafted at a short ball outside off to be comfortably caught at deep third man. But, unfortunately for the bowler, he had overstepped, and doubly unluckily, the batsmen had crossed while the ball was in the air. A free hit ensued, which ended up as a rank midriff-high full toss to the left-hander Eoin Morgan, who hoisted it gleefully over square leg for six. What could have been 151 for 3 instead became 158 for 2 in the space of a single legitimate delivery.Missed opportunity of the day
The onus was on quick wickets when England’s turn came to bowl, but as it turned out, events happened too quickly even for the fielders to notice. Chris Woakes’ first delivery was a pearler – straight and quick, and lifting off the seam past a startled Ajinkya Rahane – but it was only later in the over that the TV replays spotted what everyone else had missed out in the middle. A subtle spike on Snicko confirmed that the ball had brushed the glove through to Jos Buttler. Rahane’s slightly guilty glance backwards had been the only clue to an incident that was over before it had begun.Yuvraj Singh struggled against the rising delivery early on•Associated PressBlow of the day
Jake Ball’s length wasn’t always spot on, particularly against Virat Kohli who was more than adept at punching his lifters away through the covers. But Yuvraj Singh never looked anything like as comfortable on a spring-loaded surface, and on 3, he received a brute of a delivery that reared from a good length and thumped painfully into his armpit. Yuvraj dropped his bat in alarm and took a few moments to compose himself, although his batting partner wasn’t overly concerned – Kohli gestured with a grin that Yuvraj needed to jut out his jaw and set himself to overcome the barrage.Drop of the day
What is it with Kohli and missed opportunities in the deep? Arguably the turning point of the second Test in Visakhapatnam – and thereby the series (though it is hard to argue it would not have turned India’s way sooner rather than later) was Adil Rashid’s costly reprieve for Kohli at backward square leg. Then as now, it was a tangled pull off a well-directed bouncer that prised a chink in his armoury, and once again, the chance was muffed by one of England’s less reliable pairs of hands. Kohli was on 35 at the time, and Ball had plenty time to ponder the importance of the moment, as the ball descended towards his hard-handed grasp. It spanked his wrists, popped up out of reach, and the opportunity was lost.Silencer of the night
Yuvraj’s folk-hero status went back into overdrive after his epic 150 in Cuttack, and while he was still at the crease, India’s run-chase remained very much on track. His power off his legs has always been a strong point of his game (think Stuart Broad at Durban as a point of reference), so when he clipped a fierce loft into the deep off Liam Plunkett, Eden Gardens roared its instant acclaim. But, the shot had got more height than distance, as Billings at deep midwicket steadied himself under the catch. Into his hands the ball plopped – an insanely cool take, swinging his hands to one side like a wicketkeeper fielding a return from the deep – and instantly the stadium went ear-poppingly silent.
