Siraj to King, OUT

King leaves and sees his stumps in a mess! Siraj does it with the scramble seam again! Full outside off and that's a very poor leave from King. Not wide enough to leave and Siraj had been bringing the ball back in for the last three deliveries. The ball crashes into middle stump! Siraj brings out the 'Siuuu'-lebration

Brandon King b Mohammed Siraj 13 (15b 3x4 0x6) SR: 86.66

9.4

•

Siraj to King, no run

Length ball outside off, jags in again and raps King on the pads, beating his inside edge. This time the appeal is even more muted. This one was also going pretty high

9.3

•

Siraj to King, no run

Big lbw shout and it's turned down. Jurel signals that it was likely going down leg. India opt against the review. Full outside off, and the scramble seam delivery seams in to hit the front pad. Did look like it was doing too much

Siraj to Athanaze, 1 run

Full on the pads, clipped away to deep backward square

•

Siraj to Athanaze, no run

Another length ball that jags away to beat Athanaze's outside edge, although he played much more inside the line this time

8.2

•

Bumrah to Athanaze, no run

Fantastic comeback from Bumrah. On a length outside off and it straightens off the pitch. Athanaze looks to block on the back foot and is beaten on the outside edge

Full and wide enough and Athanaze drives with an open face, placing it nicely between backward point and gully
