Rohit Sharma hit this girl

His father was seen rubbing her back while medical team rushed to her to check if everything was alright. The match also halted for a few second. Later, it was confirmed that everything was okay.
Jasprit Bumrah troubled English batters by taking full advantage of the overcast situation. He scalped six wickets and conceded just 19 runs with two maiden overs. Four English batsmen had gone on ducks and at the end, all they could give a target was a paltry 110 runs.
