5th Test: Siraj And Prasidh Pick Three Wickets Each To Lead India’s Fightback, Leave England At 215/7
Pacers Mohammed Siraj: Pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna took three wickets each to spearhead India’s spirited fightback and leave England at 215/7 in 42.5 overs at tea on day two of the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval here on Friday.
Primed to take a lead after reaching 109/1 at lunch, England lost six wickets in the afternoon session, which meant they still trail India by nine runs and will be hoping for Harry Brook, who’s unbeaten on 33, to give them a slender lead.
India looked down and out when the second session began, but the bowlers put up a much-improved show, bowling tighter lines, good lengths, and hitting the stumps much more to keep the pressure on the batters to get the session in their favour.
