Mohammed Siraj provided India with a flawless beginning on Day 3 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston as he picked up two big wickets in two successive deliveries. During the second over of the day, he sent back Joe Root and Ben Stokes on consecutive deliveries, putting England in serious trouble. On the third ball of the 22nd over of England's innings, Siraj bowled one down the leg side. Root attempted to flick it for runs but could only manage a faint edge. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant made a clean catch, and the umpire raised his finger immediately. Root departed for 22, quite clearly unhappy. Next ball, Siraj sent down a fast delivery outside off. Ben Stokes, having arrived to bat, prodded at it and edged it straight to Pant. It was a snappy catch, and Pant did not make any mistake. Stokes was dismissed for a golden duck and was seen extremely dejected on his way to the dug out.

Siraj was on fire and his teammates hurried in to hug him for the major breakthrough. It came as a massive turn of events for India at the start of the day and a massive setback for England as both their experienced batsmen were out in a jiffy. Previously on Day 2, Mohammed Siraj dismissed the English opener Zak Crawley for 19. His bowling Akash Deep also gave a twin strike to England yesterday by dismissing Ben Duckett (0) and Ollie Pope (0) on back-to-back deliveries. With half of the England team back to pavilion, Gill & Co. will look to wrap the innings as soon as possible in order to enforce the follow on. However, it won't be a cake walk for team India as well-set Harry Brook and Jamie Smith are guiding the innings seamlessly despite the early blows on Day 3.
