India Couldn’t have written a better start on day 3 as Mohammed Siraj started by the heart of EnglanD of the first session of the morning. With England resumed on 66/3, Siraj fired the two most experienced bathers, Root Joe and Ben Stokesout of consecutive deliveries to reduce hosts to 84/5. It was Siraj’s dirty pace, the movement of seams and relentless aggressions that opened the widest doors for India, which had already stated the dominance with the bat.
Root dismissal at the beginning of the 3rd was the first Siraj tooth made with the fragile hopes of England. Bowling with a well -established plan, Siraj tilted the ball to the root body at a fast pace, tempting his right hand to a leg look. Length and speed suggested a punctuation opportunity, but Siraj had intelligently secured a late movement. Root, looking for work well, mistakenly made the angle as the ball was slightly smooth after launching.
The contact fainted, a delicate brush of the glove or the bat handle. But,, Rishabh pantAlert as always, he moved abruptly to his left to do the loss. The attractiveness was instantaneous and the referee did not hesitate to lift his finger. Root looked back, but quickly accepted his luck, knowing that he had been full of pen. No review was done. This wicket was huge, it was not just a matter of eliminating the best batter in England, but with a smart execution. Siraj’s delivery was not reproducible or striking, but its precision emphasized Root’s confidence technique. The Indians celebrated purposefully, fully aware of the psychological coup. England was now moving in 84/4, looking at a deeper crisis.

With Root he fired the previous ball, the pressure was mounted on the captain of England Stokes, but Siraj did not allow him to have any breathing space. The next installment was a brutal short ball, struck with a length, increasing abruptly off the surface. Stokes instinctively raised his bat to defend him, trapped in two minds between duck and defense. The delivery climbed faster than expected and turned enough to cut the bat shoulder. When the edge flew from behind, Pant did not make a mistake, safely completing the capture above the height of his chest.
Stokes, trapped and struck by the pure hostility of the ball, could only look for a golden duck again. Siraj, pumped and roar, was swallowed up by his teammates, claimed two doctors in two balls, and puzzled England’s first order. The configuration was masterful: Baiting Stokes with aggressive intent immediately after Root’s fall. There was no time to settle -without a place for an error. This delivery was a statement, India was here to dominate, not just competing. With missing Stokes, England reduced to 84/5, and Siraj had firmly ignited the fuse under a dust KEG in Edgbaston.
This is two in two … 🔥#Mohammedsiraj At this time he is on flames while dismissing English pattern, #Benstokes For a golden duck! 🤩🤩
