94.5
Siraj to Brydon Carse, out Bowled!! A look of relief more than anything else on Siraj's face! Amidst all the short-bowling, it's actually the fuller one that brings the wicket. Pitched right up on off-stump, Brydon Carse had moved away very early, gave himself plenty of room, too much room in the end and he had to reach out to try and keep it out. Didn't lay a bat on it in the end and it smashed the base of off-stump. Fairly muted celebrations from India but boy did they need that. Big partnership has been broken. Very handy little knock from Carse. Brydon Carse b Siraj 22(23) [4s-4]

92.2
Siraj to Brydon Carse, FOUR, Brydon Carse is growing in confidence too! Good length delivery on off-stump, Brydon Carse stepped out and made some room before thrashing it through the covers, the previous delivery hurt Siraj's hand, this one will hurt his ego
92.1
Siraj to Brydon Carse, no run, very full on middle, Brydon Carse drives it straight back and Siraj stops it in his follow-through, looks like that hurt him, he wrings it a few times but is alright

Siraj to Woakes, 1 run, short of length on middle-leg, pulled down to long leg

90.1
Siraj to Woakes, FOUR, glorious shot! Overpitched on off-stump, Woakes prods forward and just strokes it straight back, all timing and so easy on the eyes, mid-off gave chase only to fetch it

88.1
Siraj to Brydon Carse, no run, full and shaping away outside off, left alone
85.6
Siraj to Brook, FOUR, cut away hard and Brook just 3 away from a fine 100. A back of a length delivery outside off, width and Brook cuts hard square of the wicket on the off-side, gives deep point no chance to his right, that sped off the bat. 18 off the over and Siraj has been cut into ribbons here
85.5
Siraj to Brook, leg byes, FOUR, poor bowling this. Length delivery and sliding down leg, Brook misses out as he flicks and misses, off the thigh pad and runs away fine to the fine-leg fence
85.4
Siraj to Brook, 2 runs, fullish on middle, Brook works it in front of deep mid-wicket, he sprints hard for the 1st and it's an easy two, placed it softly
85.3
Siraj to Brook, SIX, in the slot and smashed for six. Brook loves this battle with Siraj. Full outside off, the wobble-seam delivery and in the slot, Brook plays a white-ball shot, gets forward and spanks it, right off the meat of the bat, flies well over long-on
85.2
Siraj to Brook, 2 runs, short of length outside off, Brook goes on the back foot and tucks it through vacant mid-wicket, easy two before deep mid-wicket comes around to his left

Siraj to Brook, no run, beaten outside off. Full just outside off, Brook is beaten for pace as he gets forward and misses the drive, that moved away after beating the bat
83.6
Siraj to Brook, 1 run, again words from Siraj and a stare as Brook runs past him. Brook steers it through the vacant point region for one. Siraj now wants to have a piece of Brook and gets going with words
83.5
Siraj to Brook, no run, drama between Siraj and Brook. The bowler staring down the batter for an elongated period of time and some words as well. This is fascinating cricket. A hard back of a length delivery on off, nips back in and Brook gets forward to push, misses, hits the back elbow and then the back thigh, rolls away to the off-side. Brook for a second did not know where the ball went, looked back nervously if the ball went back on to his stumps. Then he saw Siraj staring down
83.4
Siraj to Brook, 2 runs, Brook wants to take down Siraj here. He gives the charge and almost holes out to Prasidh deep at mid-on, just bounces in front of the tall pacer, he can't field properly and since he got a hand on that, takes the pace off, mid-off chases and keeps it to two
83.3
Siraj to Brook, FOUR, this is spanked over cover. Wide length delivery outside off, shapes away, width and Brook has gotten forward and carved it over cover, won't back down an inch this fella
83.2
Siraj to Brook, FOUR, full and in the slot just outside off, Brook has drilled that straight down the ground for four. Takes it on and doesn't bother to defend or do anything soft with it, races away
83.1
Siraj to Brook, no run, short of length on off, tight delivery and Brook is neatly behind that
81.6
Siraj to Brook, no run, full just outside off, Brook gets forward to drive and it's a thick inside-edge that rolls to the short-leg area, after hitting the leg of Brook, Siraj runs across and cuts it off, he has his hands on his head as does Gill, that was close to sneaking through the defences
81.5
Siraj to Brook, 2 runs, full on middle and leg, flicked in front of deep square-leg and Brook runs hard and fast to come back for two, Shardul the man there
81.4
Siraj to Brook, no run, that was ugly from Brook. It is full and wide outside off, the outswinger moves further away, Brook loses balance as he reaches for it to drive and misses, almost fell flat on his face there, and was close to edging that too
81.3
Siraj to Brook, no run, full on off, Brook gets forward to defend and takes the bottom-hand off after playing that
81.2
Siraj to Brook, no run, good length on off, Brook gets forward to defend square to gully, was nicely forward there
81.1
Siraj to Brook, no run, Brook uses his feet but this is dug in short outside off, moves away, left alone
66.6
Siraj to Jamie Smith, FOUR, Smith and his inside edges! It's got him four this time. Siraj hides his face with his arms in frustration because that could have easily been a chop on. Good length delivery just outside off stump, Smith looks to push forward, escapes with the edge
66.5

64.6
Siraj to Jamie Smith, no run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Smith defends
64.5
Siraj to Stokes, out Caught by Pant!! Siraj has got the England captain. He roars and says come onnn! Stokes knows he's played a bad shot. Throws his bat up in disappointment, catches and clutches it between his jaw and chest as he walks back. Silly mid-off on, so that rules out the off-drive for Stokes. Siraj stayed round the wicket and angled this length delivery in, got it to nip away as Stokes wanted to play squarer. Tried to run it towards point. Instead he's found a thick edge through to Pant. Big wicket this as the partnership was growing strong. Stokes c Pant b Siraj 20(52) [4s-3]
64.4
Siraj to Stokes, no run, round the wicket to the LHB. Stokes mistimes the slap to cover
64.3
Siraj to Brook, 1 run, now he wrists this through square leg and almost finds the gap. Sub Nitish Reddy does an excellent job running to the right from deep mid-wicket to make a rolling save. Short of a length delivery angling, Brook played the field to perfection
64.2
Siraj to Brook, no run, defends this good length delivery to the on-side
64.1
Siraj to Brook, FOUR, steps out and lofts it over the infield. Man catching at silly mid-off to stop him from pushing down the ground. But by advancing and smashing the ball he wants to put fear in that fielder standing so close. This is a great counterresponse the strategy from India. This one sat up nicely to be smacked on the rise and Brook obliged, hitting over wide mid-off
62.5
Siraj to Stokes, FOUR, edged and into the gap! Good length delivery on off-stump, Stokes prods forward to defend, again with soft-hands and it takes a thick outside edge, goes right in between a wide slip and the keeper, would've never carried though even if there had been a slip

33.6
Siraj to Root, no run, short of length and tight on off, Root with a solid back foot block
33.5
Siraj to Root, no run, no wonder Root reviewed immediately. The Headingley crowd love that as it comes up on the big screen. The shiny side was pointing towards third man and it came in sharply with the rough side, conventional swing, Root falls over slightly on the flick, misses, rapped on the pads but too much angle and too much movement, means the ball is missing leg-stump easily. As soon as umpire Paul Reiffel's finger went up, Root gestured for the review with a few mutterings under his breath. Then went to Pope and made the point it was heading down leg. It was the case. Gill was so happy as he ran towards Siraj with the finger pointing towards him, KL Rahul was mobbing Siraj but all those celebrations soon turned into glum faces. A big moment in the day
33.4
Siraj to Root, no run, fullish on off, Root gets forward to defend with a full face to mid-off

31.5
Siraj to Root, no run, good length just outside off, Root goes on the back foot and defends solidly to the point region

Siraj to Root, no run, lovely delivery, this is an inswinger and it nips back in to off, Root gets forward to push and it runs off a thick inside half to mid-on
31.3
Siraj to Root, no run, beaten! So so close to the outside-edge. Siraj now has his hands on his head. Full outside off, was there for the cover-drive but Root misses it and it's not far from the outside-edge
31.2
Siraj to Root, FOUR, can't bowl there. Full and sliding down leg, Root flicks through square-leg which is open and the crowd go to the familiar chant of Rooooooootttttttttttttttt as the ball runs away
31.1
Siraj to Root, no run, short of length on off, angled in, Root goes on the back foot to defend, hits the outer half of the bat and rolls to cover
29.6
Siraj to Root, no run, lovely over this from Siraj. No wonder he has a big smile on his face as he follows-through close to Root. He came from close to the stumps and bowled a beautiful outswinger, starts to angle in towards off and then curves away ever so late, that late movement takes it past the outside-edge, three times Siraj beat Root that over
29.5
Siraj to Root, no run, Root is tentative early on. The angle in and then the seam movement away, Root pushes at it outside off, the ball beats the bat and doesn't carry to Pant
29.4
Siraj to Root, no run, well wide outside off, easy leave, Pant dives to his right and in front of 1st slip to take it
29.3
Siraj to Root, no run, this is further wide outside off, swings away, left alone
29.2
Siraj to Root, no run, beaten! So close to the outside-edge. The shiny side is pointing towards fine-leg and this moves away after pitching, so conventional swing for now, angled in on a fourth-stump line, back of a length and again Root was beaten as he played for the original line, very close to taking the edge
29.1
Siraj to Pope, 1 run, length delivery outside off, Pope gets forward to drive square of the wicket on the off-side
20.6
Siraj to Pope, no run, short of length outside off, width and Pope cuts it straight to the fielder at gully, either side and it was four, Siraj lucky to get away with it
20.6
Siraj to Pope, no ball, wide and no-ball both but it's the latter which takes precedence. It's a wild wide delivery outside off, so wide that Pant dives to his right and takes it one-handed in front of 1st slip. Called a wide and then the no-ball signal comes out as Siraj has overstepped a long way, Gill has a word with Siraj
20.5
Siraj to Pope, no run, short of length and tight on off, Pope gets right behind the line and defends to the left of Siraj
20.4
Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, back of a length just outside off, Duckett goes on the back foot and works it to deep square-leg
20.3
Siraj to Pope, 1 run, now Siraj goes down after delivering this. Full outside off, hint of nipback, Pope gets forward to drive and it's a thick inside-edge to deep backward square-leg, if not for the fall, would have been interesting to see what Siraj's reaction would have been there
20.2
Siraj to Pope, no run, Siraj up to his antics now. Claps sarcastically at Pope with a smile even as the batter doesn't even look back at him. This after Pope gets forward and flicks the length delivery to mid-on, wonder what Siraj saw there
20.1
Siraj to Pope, no run, good length and angled in on off, from wide of the crease, Pope gets forward to defend it back to Siraj
18.6
Siraj to Duckett, no run, another wobble-seam delivery and it beats the bat. This is well outside off as it angles in, pitches and cuts away off the seam, leaving Duckett beaten, Siraj has a wry smile on his face
18.5
Siraj to Duckett, no run, short of length outside off, Duckett hangs back and cuts late but finds guly
18.4
Siraj to Duckett, no run, a wry smile from Duckett at Siraj who follows through and has a word. This is a beauty. Angles it in towards off, wobble-seam, then it nips away from there and Duckett pushing forward is beaten as it squares him up, that's a corker and Duckett did well not to edge that, Duckett smiles and nods twice at Siraj who was looking to engage in some banter
18.3
Siraj to Duckett, no run, short of length outside off, easy back foot block for Duckett
18.2

16.1
Siraj to Pope, no run, full outside off, Pope gets forward to drive it back to Siraj, hit firmly but finds the bowler
14.6
Siraj to Pope, no run, again Siraj is interested but this is clearly going down leg. Siraj goes wide of the crease and angles it in, the wobble-seam delivery and Pope falls over on the flick, misses, rapped on the pad and the impact is on leg-stump, clearly missing though and India don't review. Pant tells Gill that it's going down leg
14.5
Siraj to Pope, no run, Pope is lucky - saved by the ump's call on hitting. This is a good delivery and nips back in to off, Pope gets forward to defend and the inward movement defeats him, flicks the front pad but above the kneeroll and then the back thigh, just clipping and the onfield decision from umpire Chris Gaffaney was not out which saves Pope
14.4
Siraj to Pope, no run, good length outside off, holds its line, left alone
14.3

12.3

Siraj to Duckett, no run, pitched up full on off-stump, Duckett prods forward and blocks
10.4
Siraj to Duckett, no run, past the edge again! Shortens the length just a touch and slants it across, Duckett looks to cut but there isn't enough room, it goes over the bat
10.3
Siraj to Duckett, no run, past the outside edge! Much better from Siraj, pitched up full and slanting away outside off, tempted him into a drive and Duckett went for it, feet didn't move though and he played well away from his body, lucky not to nick that

5.5
Siraj to Pope, FOUR, poor from Siraj, all the pressure Bumrah is building from the other end is being released from this one, overpitched and on the pads, bread and butter for Pope who whips it through mid-wicket to collect four

Siraj to Pope, no run, pandemonium out there! Good length delivery angling into the pads, brushes it and goes to Pant's left who gathers, Duckett was halfway down the track and had to be sent back, Pant flicked it back towards the stumps at the striker's end and had Pope scrambling back into his ground as well. You can almost feel the nervous energy out there amongst the Englishmen
3.6
Siraj to Duckett, FOUR, more runs for Duckett, four more! Length delivery slanting away outside off, Duckett hangs back and opens the face of the bat to punch it away to Jadeja's right at backward point, no stopping it once it beat him, Siraj has gone for 19 runs in two overs now

1.6
