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]
