Mohammed Siraj Strikes Early! Gets Root & Stokes On Back-To-Back Balls

Last Updated: Mohammed Siraj struck early on day three of the second Test at Edgbaston, dismissing Joe Root and Ben Stokes. Mohammed Siraj struck early on day three of the second Test of the five-match series for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday. Siraj dismissed Joe Root and Ben Stokes on back-to-back deliveries. Mohammed Siraj ran in full tilt and slid the ball on the leg stump line, which curved further down the leg on a length with some lateral movement. Joe Root was strangled down the leg side as he looked to flick the ball but only managed to get an inside edge. Rishabh Pant took a smart catch behind the wickets., diving to his left low. WHAT A START! 😍 #MohammedSiraj strikes in his very first over of the day, getting the big wicket of #JoeRoot, and needless to say, ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????, ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????! 🏏🔥How crucial could this breakthrough be in shaping the innings? 🤔 #ENGvIND … — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 4, 2025 On the very next ball, Siraj bowled a well-directed bumper, angling outside off. Stokes was taken aback by the extra bounce and had left his bat hanging in his evasive action. He did not manage to drop his wrists down in time and got a faint edge. Pant took the regulation catch. What Happened On Day 2? Earlier, India dominated day two of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, leaving England struggling at 77/3 in 20 overs. With a deficit of 510 runs and thanks to Shubman Gill's career-best 269, the visitors amassed 587 in 151 overs. Gill's score is the highest made by an Indian captain in Tests and by an Indian batter in England. Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar (42) provided valuable support, contributing to partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets. In response, Akash Deep, replacing the rested Jasprit Bumrah, picked up 2-36, while Mohammed Siraj managed 1-21. Despite Harry Brook and Joe Root remaining unbeaten on 30 and 18 respectively, England faces a daunting challenge on day three. England's innings started with Zak Crawley hitting two fours off Akash, who then bounced back by dismissing Ben Duckett for a duck, thanks to a spectacular catch by Gill. Ollie Pope fell on the next ball, caught by KL Rahul in slips, sending England's two centurions from the Leeds Test back without scoring. The situation worsened when Siraj drew the outside edge of Zak Crawley, with Karun Nair catching him at first slip. Root and Brook managed to stabilise the innings somewhat, with Brook hitting boundaries off Prasidh Krishna before stumps, concluding a day dominated by India and Gill. In the final session, Gill received a standing ovation from the Edgbaston crowd after attempting a hook shot off Tongue and being caught at square leg. Akash Deep's dismissal, caught at long-on, and Mohammed Siraj's stumping rounded off India's innings. First Published:

Shubman Gill And Co Face Brutal Criticism Over Bowling Tactic Against England: "Not A Big Deal..."

Former England batter Jonathan Trott said India's overuse of the short-ball tactic played a key role in Jamie Smith and Harry Brook unleashing a fearless counter-attack on day three of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston on Friday. With short boundaries in place, India's short-ball ploy didn't work as Smith stood tall to hit an 80-ball century, the joint-third fastest Test hundred by an England batter, including plundering 23 runs came off the 32nd over by tall pacer Prasidh Krishna, who gave away 61 runs in the eight overs he bowled in the first session. 'That partnership at the start was very much under pressure, but as soon as India switched to the short-ball tactic, it actually let the English batsmen off the hook. They're always going to take the short ball on.' 'And once the runs started flowing — as anyone who's watched cricket knows — that's when the pressure starts to ease, and they can play their natural game. Even if one of them gets caught on the boundary, it's not a big deal. The next guy will come in and likely do the same thing,' said Trott on JioHotstar. Similar views were echoed by former India fast bowler Varun Aaron. 'I think India allowed this counterpunch by the English batsmen. If you see what worked really well for India last evening and even this morning, it was bowling at the right length.' 'But the moment India got Stokes' wicket, they got a bit too aggressive on a flat wicket. Too many bouncers, too many short balls. On a slow pitch, when none of your bowlers are consistently pushing the 145 kph mark, you cannot afford to bowl that many short deliveries.' 'Indian bowlers have the skill to keep it on that ideal length — keep hitting the stumps. Sustained pressure is what gets you wickets. You can't expect things to happen immediately all the time,' he elaborated. Aaron was also left in awe of Smith's breath-taking batting display. 'Jamie Smith is a gifted and very brave batter. He's not hesitating to take on the challenge at all. With almost six to seven fielders packed on the leg side, it takes real courage to play those shots.' 'It shows how much belief he has in his ability and the trust the team has placed in him. He's a talented player, not just in red-ball cricket but in the white-ball format too. Bright days ahead — but he'll need to convert this into a daddy hundred.'

2nd Test: Jaiswal makes 87, Gill unbeaten on 42 as India reach 182/3 at tea

Birmingham: Yashasvi Jaiswal's promising knock ended in him making 87 while captain Shubman Gill showed enormous patience to be unbeaten on 42 as India reached 182/3 in 53 overs at tea on day one of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Edgbaston on Wednesday. It was a session where old-fashioned attritional cricket took centrestage, as India made 84 runs in 28 overs. Though Jaiswal fell 13 runs short of his sixth Test hundred, Gill continued to hold fort in his unbeaten 109-ball knock laced with just three boundaries. With Rishabh Pant unbeaten on 14 off 28 balls, India will look to pile more runs, as another session of toil awaits England's bowlers. The second session began with Gill and Jaiswal picking up singles whenever an opportunity came. While Jaiswal got a boundary by slicing over the slips, Gill got his boundaries off edges through gully twice, while being severely tested on playing around his front pad. Woakes continues to test Gill around the middle stump line in the hope of getting him playing across his front pad, but the Indian skipper, batting outside the crease, handled it well with his sturdy forward defence. With Tongue and Bashir coming in, Jaiswal and Gill got a four each as they brought up the fifty-run partnership. But Stokes once again pulled a rabbit out of a hat to get England a vital breakthrough, as Jaiswal tried to cut one away outside off and got a thin edge behind to keeper Jamie Smith, with the England skipper ecstatic in his celebration. While Gill continued to be happy in getting singles on both sides of the wicket, Pant took his time and respected some good bowling coming his way before dancing down the pitch to smack a half-volley from Bashir over long-on for six. The duo knocked off singles in the last two overs before tea break arrived. Brief Scores: India 182/3 in 53 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 87, Shubman Gill 42 not out. Rishabh Pant 14*; Brydon Carse 1-26, Ben Stokes 1-33) against England

‘I Could Not Believe How Poorly He Bowled': Mark Butcher Slams Ravindra Jadeja's Bowling In Headingley Defeat

Following India's loss in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley, former England cricketer Mark Butcher criticised left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for his subpar bowling performance in the fourth innings. On the final day's play, England beat India by five wickets by completing a chase of 371 in the final session. Jadeja, 36, went into the match as one of the most senior players, but didn't have a great influence on deciding its outcome. He made 11 & 25 not out with the bat, while his bowling figures of 0-68 & 1-104 left a lot to be desired. Jadeja couldn't make much use of the rough on the pitch, as opener Ben Duckett scored freely off him through a variety of reverse sweeps. 'I could not believe how poorly he bowled. I'd likened it to owning a hammer but punching nails in with your fist instead – not landing the ball in the rough at all until, basically, it was too late. 'That was extraordinary. You talk about experience, and he has all the experience in the world. Somehow, it didn't seem to click to him or Rishabh Pant, the keeper, that it might be a good idea not to keep missing the rough all day to the left-handers,' said Butcher on Wisden's weekly podcast. Butcher also spoke about his being dissatisfied with India's selection of seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who also didn't live up to the expectations from his dual roles in Leeds. Though Thakur dismissed Duckett and Harry Brook to bring some panic in England's chase, his overall bowling figures of 0-38 in six overs in the first innings and 2-52 in the second innings were inadequate in supporting Jasprit Bumrah. With the bat, Thakur couldn't do anything special, making one and four in India's respective batting innings. "The issue around the lineup itself... how much more interesting might that last day have been had they gone for Kuldeep (Yadav) instead of (Shardul) Thakur. 'Thakur had had a really poor game until that one over where he gave India a tiny sniff at the back-end. If you're not contributing with the bat down there at No.8, you damn well be taking wickets, and be in the game as a bowler for more of the game than he was,' concluded Butcher.

Could not believe how poorly Jadeja bowled at Headingley: Mark Butcher
