Mohammed Siraj continued his outstanding spell with another crucial wicket, removing Jacob Bethell with a brilliant yorker. The delivery came out of nowhere and was perfectly executed, swinging in sharply and crashing into Bethell’s front pad before he could bring his bat down. There was no contact with the bat, and it was an easy decision for the umpire. Siraj’s effort was backed by captain Shubman Gill, who trusted him to bowl his seventh over on the trot. That faith paid off as Siraj delivered once again. With this wicket, he picked up his third in what has been a truly lion-hearted performance for India.

The three seamers adhered to their plans, bowled improved lengths, and continued to hit the stumps consistently. Their discipline and accuracy created incessant pressure on the English batsmen. While England had played attacking cricket in the first session with their usual 'Bazball' strategy, India responded with tighter lines and more intelligent bowling. Zak Crawley was bowled attempting a pull off a short ball, and the collapse was underway. Prasidh Krishna's and Joe Root's altercation stimulated both teams. Mohammed Siraj produced an excellent spell of eight overs in which he sent Root and Ollie Pope back with balls that seamed back sharply. He then produced a close-to-perfect yorker to dismiss Jacob Bethell. Prasidh also got Jamie Smith, and Overton was out LBW on the brink of Tea. The game now hangs in balance after England's initial superiority.
