Hameed walked into the crease after the dismissal of Dom Sibley and Michael Vaughan notes how he took guard multiple times. He believes that something did not work on his mind during the buildup to that innings.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, the former England captain said:
Vaughan also believes a harmless delivery like that does not get him out in county cricket. Hameed has amassed runs in county cricket for Lancashire and Nottinghamshire and was rewarded with a call-up to the national team after five years.
Vaughan hopes the youngster will have talks with senior members of the squad following the manner of his dismissal.
Hameed should be opening the batting: Michael Vaughan
Having played as an opener in his debut series in India and even in county cricket, Hameed was deployed at No. 3 in place of Zak Crawley as England opted to retain the opening pair.
Vaughan firmly believes that it should be Hameed who should be opening the batting by replacing the struggling Dom Sibley.
England were in a difficult position following the departure of Hameed, but the pair of Joe Root and Rory Burns stitched up a vital partnership to deny India the momentum.
