Siraj to Pope, out Lbw!! Siraj has got it spot on! Good length delivery just outside off, darted back in sharply and hurried Pope, he was caught in his crease and he had no chance of getting any bat behind this, it thuds into the back pad just above the knee-roll and there was a huge shout. The umpire seemed unsure about the height and the angle of that one but Siraj wasn't, he insisted on going upstairs and Hawkeye returned with three-reds! Two quick and important wickets for India after lunch. They've got an opening here to really make this session their own. The Indian team was absolutely delighted the moment the Hawkeye replay came up on the big screen. Pope lbw b Siraj 22(44) [4s-4]
