Mohammed Siraj 0-51(14 ov)

80.6

Siraj to Root, FOUR, thick outside-edge and flies wide of the diving outstretched right hand of the gully fielder. 50 for Root and the crowd go Roooooooooootttt in celebration. Full outswinger outside off, Root walks forward and is on the move even as he drives, the swing away takes the thick outside-edge and it absolutely flies, gully moved swiftly to his right on the dive, went with an outstretched right hand but the ball flew past it

80.5

Siraj to Root, no run, Root goes after the wide length delivery outside off, cuts and misses, keeps a bit low, good length and shaping away from well outside off, Root saw runs there

80.4

Siraj to Jamie Smith, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Jamie Smith goes on the back foot and works it wide of mid-on

80.3

Siraj to Jamie Smith, no run, short of length and nips back in to off, Jamie Smith goes on the back foot and punches, thick inside-edge goes on to back leg, runs away to the off-side

80.2

Siraj to Jamie Smith, no run, good length and just outside off, Jamie Smith goes on the back foot and defends solidly to cover

80.1

Siraj to Root, 1 run, short of length outside off, Root goes on the back foot and punches nicely to deep backward point

40.6

Siraj to Duckett, no run, full outside off, Duckett gets forward to defend solidly towards mid-off, that was a gentle loosener

40.5

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, length delivery on off-stump, eased towards backward point for a quick single

40.4

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, length delivery outside off, steered out towards deep backward point

40.3

Siraj to Duckett, no run, big shot goes awry! Pitched up full and just outside off, Duckett cleared his front-leg looking to mow it down the ground and missed it completely, it nipped away sharply and beat the bat. Siraj goes all the way down to the batter and they continue their 'friendly' conversation, a smile on Siraj's face this time

40.2

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, good length delivery on off-stump, bunted towards mid-on for a quick single

40.1

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, short of length and wide outside off, slapped away hard towards deep point but there is protection out there

38.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, full and sliding down leg, Crawley flicks and misses as he gets forward, easily missing leg-stump, Siraj appeals but that was never out

38.5

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, dropped by Jaiswal running in from deep backward square-leg. Siraj is livid. He makes his frustrations known. Gambhir with a stoic expression. Good short ball at Duckett, he is not in control of the pull, a fat top-edge, Jaiswal runs in and gets two hands on the dive forward, but drops it, should have taken that, replays show he was a bit slow in getting off the blocks and that might have cost him

38.4

Siraj to Duckett, no run, fullish outside off, Duckett gets forward to punch and it's off the open-face, on the bounce to gully

38.3

Siraj to Duckett, 2 runs, good work by Shardul running from deep point, he dives to his left and saves two as he pulls it back. Full and wide outside off, a square-drive by Duckett

38.2

Siraj to Duckett, no run, full and sliding into leg-stump, Duckett gets forward to flick and closes the face of the bat too early, that's why the thick leading-edge rolls to mid-off

38.1

Siraj to Duckett, no run, Siraj on his haunches. This is a good length delivery on the fifth-sixth stump line, Duckett fiddles at it, could have left that alone, misses and it's past the outside-edge. Siraj can't believe his luck as he goes down on his haunches

35.6

Siraj to Duckett, FOUR, luck with Duckett and England. Siraj is near Duckett's face and they have a chat. A friendly one by the looks of it from the England opener, not too sure about Siraj, he is ticking here. Even Crawley has a smile at Siraj. This is a thick outside-edge and it wouldn't have carried to a 1st slip even if there was one, the slip was very wide, almost at third slip, short of length just outside off, Duckett goes on the back foot to defend, hint of away movement there and the edge died down

35.5

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, length delivery and nips back in to off, Crawley gets forward to defend, thick inside-edge runs away to fine-leg, Siraj is down after delivering that

35.4

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, short of length on middle, Duckett goes on the back foot and punches to deep backward point, gave himself some room to play that

35.3

Siraj to Duckett, FOUR, Prasidh at mid-off dives to his right and he should have got a hand at least, it not stopped it. Full just outside off, Duckett gets forward and drives firmly, Prasidh did the hard work but doesn't stop it. A glare from Siraj at the pacer, Siraj not too impressed with that effort

35.2

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, 50 for Crawley. Trescothick watching on claps in appreciation. Fullish on middle, Crawley gets forward to drive in front of mid-on and takes an easy single, a raise of the bat to mark the landmark

35.1

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, full and angled into middle and leg, Duckett gets forward to flick to deep square-leg

33.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, good delivery. But too much movement. Went like a legbreak as it angled in towards the fifth-stump line, then swerved away wickedly, Crawley was committed to the original line and did not have much danger of edging that

33.5

Siraj to Crawley, no run, full outside off, doesn't carry to Pant as it bounces awkwardly in front of him, Crawley had left that and Pant is hit on the right thigh, hobbles and grimaces in pain, is trying his best to shake this off. KL with a few consoling words

33.4

Siraj to Duckett, leg byes, 1 run, short of length and nips back in to the thigh pad, Duckett flicks and misses, a legbye to the total

33.3

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, full and sliding into the pads, flicked to deep mid-wicket

33.2

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, full and wide outside off, Duckett gets forward and slashes the drive square of the wicket and finds the deep point fielder

33.1

Siraj to Duckett, no run, sharp nipbacker, goes a long way in and raps Duckett outside the leg-stump, on the thigh, easily missing leg-stump and even impact was not in line, so no chance of that being out LBW. But should encourage Siraj how much movement he got there

31.6

Siraj to Duckett, no run, short of length and around off, Duckett goes on the back foot and defends it solidly, back down the track

31.5

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, pitched up outside off, Crawley gets forward to push and it's a thick inside-edge to deep backward square-leg

31.4

Siraj to Crawley, no run, full outside off, Crawley gets forward to defend solidly to cover

31.3

Siraj to Crawley, no run, slips it down leg, Crawley flicks and misses, Pant dives to his left to take

31.2

Siraj to Crawley, no run, peach! The last one moved in sharply, this one goes the other way, again the scrambled-seam delivery, angled in on a good length, then it moves away from a fourth-stump line, Crawley to be fair, doesn't go fiddling at it, plays inside the line and that's why the ball was not close to taking the outside-edge

31.1

Siraj to Crawley, no run, what a ball! It's short of length and nips back in a long way, cuts Crawley in half as he gets forward to drive, past the inside-edge, and bounces over off-stump, the scrambled-seam delivery and that's why it moved so much off the seam, Siraj has his hands on his head, Pant dives to his left and fumbles but no damage done

29.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, full on off-stump, knocked straight to mid-on, Siraj isn't pleased, he gets in the face of the batters and has a word or two to say. That will be lunch

29.5

Siraj to Crawley, no run, pitched up full on off-stump, Crawley prods forward and blocks, very solid

29.4

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, length delivery on middle-leg, tucked away towards deep square leg, just a single

29.3

Siraj to Duckett, no run, fuller on off-stump, firmly blocked into the off-side, Siraj collects and flings the ball back to the keeper in a bit of annoyance, probably more at himself

29.2

Siraj to Duckett, no run, good length delivery on off-stump, Duckett is right behind it with a block

29.1

Siraj to Duckett, no run, length delivery on off-stump, dropped into the leg-side

15.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, wanted to drive this on the rise as Siraj bowls another ball angling into him, pushed towards wide mid-off

15.5

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, punched to cover, where Shardul made a half-stop

15.4

Siraj to Crawley, leg byes, 1 run, didn't look convincing real-time and India burn a review. Short of a length delivery into the pitch as Crawley took a step across the line to flick this to the on-side. Missed the shot on the angle as Siraj got it to cut back into the RHB, impact was in line with middle but was deemed umpire's call as he was over 3m down the track, it was easily missing leg as well

15.3

Siraj to Crawley, no run, blocking from the crease to point as Siraj targets the off stump

15.2

Siraj to Crawley, no run, good length delivery on the stumps, Crawley defends

13.4

Siraj to Duckett, no run, short of length delivery, Duckett defends off the back foot

13.3

Siraj to Duckett, FOUR, uppishly punched down the ground. Mid-on was in play for a while but it quickly raced past him. Full delivery, Duckett checked his shot and got away with it

13.2

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, solidly behing the line of this short of length delivery and pushing towards point for a run

13.1

Siraj to Crawley, no run, fullish delivery, Crawley leans forward and drives to mid-off

11.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, big appeal for LBW, is height the question here? Yes indeed! Crawley is being troubled by seam movement into him. Siraj got this short of length delivery to cut back in, impact was in line with middle stump but too high says umpire Chris Gaffaney

11.5

Siraj to Crawley, no run, fullish delivery, Crawley defends

11.4

Siraj to Crawley, no run, full and aiming the stumps, Crawley defends to the on-side

11.3

Siraj to Crawley, no run, Crawley is batting out of the crease now to negate the movement, manages to push towards cover

11.2

Siraj to Crawley, no run, appeal for caught behind! He's almost got him caught and that ball literally shaved the off stump too. Siraj is known for his nip-backers to RHBs. Sucked Crawley into a big booming drive to open the bat. Crawley escaped by a whisker

11.1

Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Duckett flicks to long leg

9.6

Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, fullish delivery, Crawley flicks to mid-on

9.5

Siraj to Crawley, no run, now crunches the cover drive but finds the man at cover. Hit that really well

9.4

Siraj to Crawley, no run, oh a wild hack across the line! Where did that come from. Looks like the idea was to use Siraj's idea of moving the ball back into the right-hander and targetting mid-wicket with that movement. So Crawley went a long way across and tried to flick hard, missed it completely

9.3

Siraj to Crawley, no run, fullish delivery, just outside off stump, Crawley defends

9.2

Siraj to Crawley, no run, looking for the nip-backer again, Crawley gets right behind the line and defends

3.6

Siraj to Crawley, no run, good length and nips back in from outside off, Crawley gets forward and covers off-stump to leave, that's a good leave

3.5

Siraj to Crawley, no run, good comeback. It's the nipbacker on the stumps, Crawley flicks and misses, hit on the back thigh, going down leg and also too high, India were not even appealing

3.4

Siraj to Crawley, FOUR, Siraj goes further wide outside off, gives Crawley the room to free his arms, he gets forward and carves it, intentionally did not keep it down, over backward point and that's consecutive fours, Crawley looking to be positive here

3.3

Siraj to Crawley, FOUR, too full and too straight and the class of Crawley shines through. Full on middle, Crawley gets forward and flicks wide of mid-wicket and mid-on, right into the gap, so elegantly played, races away

3.2

Siraj to Crawley, no run, hammered but Sai at cover dives to his left and stops it. Saves four. Full outside off, swinging away, Crawley creams off the front foot and such good timing, just short of Sai diving forward, when he times them, he looks a million dollars

3.1
