England v India 3rd test

Siraj hit on the shoulder

73.6
Jofra Archer to Siraj, no run, Siraj is in a lot of pain after getting hit by a short ball! He removes the gloves, bends over in agony and needs attention from the physio. Banged into the pitch by Archer, doesn't bounce much and Siraj takes his eyes off

Siraj head is boiling to say something after that bouncer but Jajeda is doing his best to restrain and cool him down

Day 5: 3rd Session

IND 169/9 (74) CRR: 2.28

India need 24 runs

Mohammed Siraj 4(2
Ravindra Jadeja 60(178

next test Archer will get it back

Time for a substitute batsman.

Gawn @!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

74.5
Bashir to Siraj, out Bowled!! Bashir breaks Indian hearts! He picks up the final wicket and sprints away in celebration, closely followed by the whole England pack. Siraj can't believe it. He thought he had done a good job to defend it on the back foot. Tossed up outside off, lands on a good length and turns back in. Siraj, in fact, gets it off the middle of the bat in defence. But the overspin from Bashir means that it spins behind after landing into the pitch and rolls into leg stump. England are absolutely thrilled while Siraj looks crestfallen.

Siraj b Bashir 4(30)

Ravindra Jadeja 61*(180

Wanted India to win at Lord's. Ah well. There will be another time.
Good innings Jadeja and tough loss.

In reply to hubert

One hell of a match though. First in a long time I have been so riveted by a test match. Cricket needs more matches like this. Not too long ago there was the talk that ‘test cricket’ was a dying entity, a match like says that mentality may have been a bit premature.
If we could just get WI to select cricketers and cricket management on merit---- I guess we can always wish

Bumrah's played two out of his three scheduled matches and India lost both. Can India risk playing him again?
