Haseeb Hameed was billed to be a sheet anchor who could resolve England’s top-order predicament. His imperious ton in the warm-up game lent wings to the hope. Although, the resurgent youngster suffered a nightmare of a trip to the crease as Mohammed Siraj breached through his defences first ball. It was no peach by any stretch of the imagination, and Haseeb deserves the blame in its entirety. For, his feet remained affixed to the turf as if glued by an adhesive.
