Siraj to Pooran, SIX, there's the response from Pooran. Siraj just walks back without saying anything.

Siraj to Pooran, FOUR, mashed wide of mid-off. A half-volley on leg-stump, Pooran again clears his front leg and lofts nicely, then shakes his head with a wry smile on his face. No words needed after that treatment and Pooran doesn't say anything, he just meets Mitchell Marsh and gets on with it
