Bumrah's match-winning spell and Rohit Sharma's half-century helped India gain a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. During the course of his innings, Rohit hit five massive six and one of those shots hit a six-year-old girl, Meera Salvi, on the head.

The match was temporarily halted and media reports said the England team’s medical officers attended to Meera.


After the game was over, Rohit himself went up to Meera and her father and took down their contact number so that he could speak to them later.

The England cricket team, on the other hand, shared a team’s jersey with young Meera.

During the course of the match, Rohit became the first Indian to hit 250 sixes in 50-over matches. While he is still the only current player to achieve the feat globally, three others - Pakistan's Shahid Afridi, West Indian Chris Gayle and Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya - have hit more sixes than Sharma in ODIs. But they have all retired.

  • Head teachers' unions warn that secure storage systems could create significant costs.
  • Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are taking different approaches to restricting phones in schools.

Schools in England are preparing for a stricter approach to mobile phones, with pupils expected to be unable to access their devices at any point during the school day from September 2027. But while ministers want to move beyond policies that allow phones to remain switched off in school bags, head teachers are questioning how they will pay for the change.

The government is strengthening its statutory guidance to ensure schools adopt measures that keep phones physically out of pupils' reach, rather than simply requiring them to remain unseen and unheard.
