Siraj to Brook, out Bowled!! Inside edge castles the stumps and that will be the end of the England innings as Woakes will not come out to bat. Was a short of length delivery just outside off stump, kept a shade low, or so Brook made it look like for the second time in the over. The angle cramped him for room and he stood leg-side off the ball to access the off-side. The ball takes the toe-end of the bat and cannons into the lower half of the off stump.

Tongue was already committed and ran halfway down the pitch. The throw was poor and well wide of Jurel to the right so Tongue was home in time
