London (AP)-India collected four Wickets and England stumbled to 98-4 through lunch on a lively fourth morning of the third test on Lord’s on Sunday.
Mohammed Siraj took two wickets and Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep received the others.
Joe Root was 17 not on the interval with Captain Ben Stokes on 2 and England led with 98 points in his second innings.
The pitch offered enough for the sailors with deliveries that flew from a length and brighten up almost dangerously. It was such a minefield that England seemed happiness to only lose two wickets in the first hour, while Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj wandered the new ball.
In Bumrah’s five-over morning spell, he hit Zac Crawley twice on the gloves and gave three boundaries, but they were all uncontrolled edges. Siraj took the wickets from the other end.
Ben Duckett was the first to go to 12 and hit the middle directly. Siraj followed by screaming “Come on” twice in Duckett’s face and they brush shoulders.
It seemed to be a hangover from the first episode of Spikiness in the series at the end of Saturday’s game. India was hit by Crawley’s deliberate waste of time to prevent India from bowling more than one.
Siraj then received Ollie Pope next 4, LBW to one that went back and would have hit the top of the middle and leg. Siraj has successfully assessed to overthrow the not -out decision of the referee.
Crawley’s brave but shorter innings ended in the 15th, drove to Reddy and pointed to Yashasvi Jaiswal at the back. While the Indians finally celebrated the Jaiswal a catch – he dropped four in Leeds – Reddy seemed to give the departing Crawley a verbal spray. Reddy received Crawley, 22 out of 49 balls, for the second time in the game.
As the ball got older and became a little easier to play, Brook lit the tension.
He scooped deep to the border twice and then crashed the next delivery in the pavilion of the members. But Deep got revenge when Brook wiped him and threw him deep around the pads, flattened his middle stump for his first wicket of the game and the first wicket since his 10-out-out-birmingham. Brook was out for 23 out of 19 balls.
Stokes, before he got off the stamp, hit deeply, but the ball did not wear the second slip.
England may have only nine wickets to play with in his second innings. Whether the wounded Shoaib Bashir -bats can depend on the situation. He injured the little finger of his non-bowing left hand on Saturday after lunch and did not return to the field. England said on Sunday that he will bowling again if India flows a second time.
