Mohammed Siraj took two wickets and Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep got the others.

Joe Root was 17 not outat the interval with captain Ben Stokes ‘on 2and England was leading by 98 runs in its second innings.

The pitch was offering plenty for the seamers with deliveries flying off a length, rearing up almost dangerously. Itwas such a minefield that England seemed fortunate to lose only two wickets in the first hour while Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj hurled the new ball. In Bumrah’s five-over morning spell, he smashed Zac Crawley twice on the gloves and conceded three boundaries but all of them were uncontrolled edges. Siraj took the wickets from the other end.
