Siraj Rips England Apart

Prasidh supports Siraj with a four-for; Jaiswal's brisk fifty put India 52 ahead at stumps on Day 2

- 

#LONDON Mohammed Siraj produced a lionhearted spell and Prasidh Krishna cleaned up the tail to script India's spirited comeback after a brutal assault from England openers on day two of the fifth and final Test here on Friday.

After a forgettable opening session where Siraj and Co. were taken to the cleaners by Ben Duckett (43 off 38) and Zak Crawley (64 off 57), the Indian pacers redeemed themselves by bowling out England for 247 in the final session, giving the hosts only a slender 23-run lead.

Both Siraj and Prasidh ended with four-wicket hauls.
