Zak Crawley’s 65 runs added to the damage as well. A middle-order stutter gave India hope, but Joe Root (53)* and debutant Jamie Smith (44)* closed out the match with an unbeaten 71-run partnership.“Catches do get dropped. The best fielders have missed catches. None of them did it on purpose,” India coach Gautam Gambhir told reporters in the post-match press conference.Shubman Gill didn’t have a positive start to his reign as India Test captain. He said the dropped catches and batting collapses were not the main reason they lost.“A brilliant Test, we had our chances. Dropped catches, lower order not contributing cost us,” he said in the post-match presentation.“Yesterday, we were thinking of giving them 430, but our last wickets fell for 25,” Gill noted.

“Even today, I thought we had our chances after the brilliant first wicket. Didn’t go to hand.”“We spoke about the first-innings collapse. Happens, we have to rectify that going forward. Chances don’t come easy on wickets like this, but we have a young team. Learning one. Hope to improve that.”
