Team India opener Rohit Sharma played one of his best Test innings to date at Lord's on Day 1 of the second Test against England. Unfortunately, he fell agonizingly short of a well-deserved century. Legendary pacer James Anderson outfoxed Sharma with a brilliant delivery when he was batting at 83 in the second session.With that dismissal, Anderson broke the hearts of millions of Indian cricket fans who were waiting to witness Rohit Sharma's first overseas century in Test cricket. Soon after he departed, fans took to Twitter to applaud the opener for giving India a dream start by expertly tackling the challenging conditions at Lord's.Here are some of the best reactions:Every Indian Fan after watching #RohitSharma's Innings 👏👊💥#ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/eOzpdKuPRD— Thyview (@Thyview) August 12, 2021💔 That was test match batting of the highest quality that too in testing conditions.

James Anderson and Ollie Robinson started well and made life difficult for batsmen with their testing lines. The openers were very watchful, which meant they could only score eight runs in the first eight overs.After getting his eye in, Rohit Sharma took the attack to the opposition by targeting Sam Curran, who was a bit off-color on the day. From that juncture, both openers looked very comfortable at the crease and proceeded confidently without giving any chances to English bowlers.They stitched up a well-compiled 126-run partnership in 43.4 overs before Rohit Sharma perished following an incoming delivery from James Anderson. The onus will now be on the middle-order batsmen to cash in on a wonderful start and build a substantial first-innings total for India.Team India has a long tail in this match. However, the middle-order players will be expected to take on the responsibility and score the bulk of their runs without leaving much for the tailenders to do.An Anderson special was needed to get rid of Rohit today! ☝🏽He departs for a well-made 83 off 145 👏🏽Tune into Sony Six (ENG), Sony Ten 3 (HIN), Sony Ten 4 (TAM, TEL) & SonyLIV (https://t.co/AwcwLCPFGm ) now! 📺#ENGvINDOnlyOnSonyTen #BackOurBoys #RohitSharma pic.twitter.com/TIsjVIhiSd— Sony Sports (@SonySportsIndia) August 12, 2021An Anderson special was needed to get rid of Rohit today! ☝🏽He departs for a well-made 83 off 145 👏🏽Tune into Sony Six (ENG), Sony Ten 3 (HIN), Sony Ten 4 (TAM, TEL) & SonyLIV (https://t.co/AwcwLCPFGm ) now! 📺#ENGvINDOnlyOnSonyTen #BackOurBoys #RohitSharma pic.twitter.com/TIsjVIhiSd— Sony Sports (@SonySportsIndia) August 12, 2021
