Mohammed Siraj 5-104(30.1 ov)

85.1
W
Siraj to Atkinson, out Bowled!! Wowza!! After more than 1000 deliveries in this series, Mohammed Siraj comes in with the gusto and energy of a young toddler, with the tenacity of a true professional and the precision of an archer!! Nails a 143 kph yorker that thuds onto the base of off stump. Atkinson tried to hack it across the line and didn't get anywhere close to the ball. Arms aloft and looks up to the heavens. Jeez, what an extraordinary win for India. The pangs of Lord's will probably sting a little less for Siraj as he is, fittingly, at the forefront of an extraordinary Indian win just across the river. The series is rightly levelled at 2-2. Atkinson b Siraj 17(29) [6s-1]
83.6
Siraj to Atkinson, byes, 1 run, they plunder the bye!! A full wide delivery from Siraj, away from the batter who tried to get closer and get bat. He can't connect but Woakes sneaks through for the bye. Jurel threw as soon as he collected but didn't hit the stumps, Woakes would have been out had that hit!! Siraj irate that Jurel didn't throw to him. England get their desired result, Atkinson back on strike
83.5
Siraj to Atkinson, no run, Almost hits timber!! Attempted yorker, ends as a low full toss and just past the leg stump, to the left of the stump as Atkinson went for a big slog. Siraj covering his face
83.4
Siraj to Atkinson, no run, attempted yorker, just undercooked onto middle stump. Atkinson clears the front leg for a big heave and gets an inside edge towards fine leg. Single not taken
83.3
Siraj to Atkinson, no run, good length and skids onto middle and leg. Atkinson stayed deep and was ready for a big heave. Horribly late as the bottom hand comes off the bat and the ball lobs towards mid-wicket. Lands safely
83.2
6
Siraj to Atkinson, SIX, oh dear!! Palmed over the fence! A half volley type delivery onto the stumps, Atkinson clears the front leg to give it an almighty golf swing through wide long-on. Akash Deep wasn't at the fence, and was chasing the ball to his right. Gets a hand to it but can only lob it beyond the ropes as he was diving to reach there!!
83.1
Siraj to Atkinson, no run, full outside off, Atkinson dabs it into the ground towards gully. Dot ball
81.6
Siraj to Tongue, no run, oh dear!! Every ball Mo Siraj is bowling is an incident by itself. On a length and just outside off, shaping away and beats the edge once again. What a tremendous effort this has been from this powerhouse of a bowler!

Siraj to Tongue, no run, good length and angling onto off, solidly blocked into the pitch
79.5
W
Siraj to Jamie Overton, out Lbw!! Jeez!! I0$. A fuller delivery and that was the nip backer. Overton shuffles across and gets struck on the pads as the bat was nowhere in line with that ball. Given out on field, struck in front of middle and would have just clipped the edge of leg stump. Impact is in and umpire's call on the wickets so it stays OUT! Must say a bit of luck has gone India's way. The replays showed that the umpire gave it a long, hard thought before raising the finger. Jamie Overton lbw b Siraj 9(17) [4s-2]
79.4
Siraj to Atkinson, leg byes, 1 run, full and angling in sharply onto the pads, deflects towards fine leg. Siraj tried to surprise the batter with the nip backer, but strays it a bit too straight

77.3
W
Siraj to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! What a big moment in this game!! Come hell or high water, make him walk on nails, make him play for 10 days on the trot and Mohammed Siraj will still walk up with a smile and deliver. A fraction short of length and outside outside off, wobbles away. Jamie Smith walks at the bowler and then pokes at it away from the body, gets an edge through to the keeper. Jurel goes low to his right to complete the catch. There was definite sound but the ump just wanted to be sure if it carried cleanly to the keeper. Jamie Smith c Dhruv Jurel b Siraj 2(20)

W
Siraj to Pope, out Lbw!! Siraj and his nip-backers is such a great love story. This one cut back in like a fast off-break and Pope could no nothing about it. Siraj has this cunning ablility to angle the ball in sharply from a wide angle. So batters often tend to play outside the line and to top this up he bowls wobble seam and finds some sharp seam movement back into the RHBs. This was another such length delivery that Pope played outside the line to. The movement off the pitch made it impossible for him to deal with as he tried to defend. Ball hit the kneeroll in line with middle and off, would have smacked middle and leg says DRS. Pope knew he was out, took a long time to review and eventually takes on with him. Maybe wasn't a ball to be played off the back foot as well. Pope lbw b Siraj 27(34) [4s-5]

W
Siraj to Crawley, out Bowled!! You beauty! It's him, it had to be him. Jumps up with his arms straying to the side in his trademark celebration. A moment of magic from Mo Siraj to close out the day for India. It was the double bluff by the Indian pacer, set the field up for chin music and then produced a big, beaming in angling yorker. Sneaks beneath the bat and crashes onto the base of the off stump. Crawley wasn't prepared for it, his feet just didn't move and his stumps were a mess. All that toil gets some reward for India, they get a wicket off the last ball of the day. Crawley b Siraj 14(36) [4s-2]
