It had all the makings of a miracle. England charging, the crowd on edge, and a wounded Chris Woakes ready for a one-armed stand. But just as the dream neared reality, Mohammed Siraj thundered in with fire and fury, snapping the stumps and silencing The Oval. Six runs the difference, but miles in drama.
Belief. Anticipation. Jubilation!
