Siraj to Warrican, out Caught by Gill!! Very comical! Gill and most of the Indian players have a smile on their face. Back of a length delivery, Warrican clears his front leg and swings hard, the bat slips out of his hand and flies over Sai at short leg, while the ball ends up near mid-off. Gill moves to his right and completes a simple catch. He was struck on the splice of the bat, hence there was no timing. India 2 wickets away from wrapping up this Test.. Warrican c Gill b Siraj 0(2)

Siraj to Warrican, no run, back of a length around off, Warrican stabs it into the off-side

Siraj to Justin Greaves, out Lbw!! Both set batters gone in consecutive overs. This is excellent planning and execution. The field was set for the short ball but Siraj goes for the yorker, nails it and pings Greaves on the pad. Seems like this is a length that troubles Greaves a lot. He was bowled off a yorker in the first innings by Bumrah. Now, Siraj gets one to curl in sharply, Greaves plants his front foot across and tries to play around it, misses and is struck low on the pad. The impact was right in front of the stumps and ball-tracking shows ball clipping leg-stump (umpire's call) and Greaves starts the long walk. Justin Greaves lbw b Siraj 25(52) [4s-4]
