Watch: Mohammed Siraj gives fiery send-off to Ben Duckett with roar and shoulder-bump, risks ICC ban
Table of Contents
India began the proceedings of Day 4 against England, as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj both shared the new ball. Bumrah kept steaming in from one end as the ball missed the outside edge on several occasions, while some seemed like unplayable inswingers.
Mohammed Siraj might not have had a great impact in the first innings of the Lord's test, though some things did not go his way due to catches being dropped or the disappointment over the soft ball given.
Despite that, Mohammed Siraj backed himself with two wickets in the first innings, as he got the breakthroughs in the form of Jamie Smith's and Brydon Carse's wickets. However, Siraj seems more charged up in the second innings, as he is not only bowling at full pace but also troubling the English batters constantly with his accuracy of line and length.
However, Siraj has reaped the result of his sublime accuracy and sheer pace bowling as he dismissed Ben Duckett, the English opener. The left-handed batter looked to pull a short delivery from outside the off stump and hit it straight to mid-on.
Ben Duckett dismissed cheaply by Mohammed Siraj
England opener Ben Duckett has been facing the Indian pacers with his usual fearless attitude, despite being dismissed several times by the Indian bowlers.
Duckett got out in an attempt to pull Mohammed Siraj's half-tracker as he was caught at mid-on. Siraj looked glaring at Duckett with his veins popping and yelling, 'c'com.' The Indian pacer gave a fiery send-off to the English opener and even shoulder-bumped him. Siraj was also seen getting a bashing from the on-field umpires over his actions.

Mohammed Siraj Test England's patience; Pope departs after Duckett
Though Jasprit Bumrah might have given away some runs this morning, he played a silent role in Siraj's success. The masterclass bowler terrified the English batters, hitting them on the body and beating the outside edges of their bat by close margins.
Siraj has reaped the fruit of the building pressure, as he kept picking wickets from the other end. After dismissing Duckett with a loosener, Siraj dismissed Ollie Pope with a delivery that nipped back in from the off-stump.
The ball dipping inwards went on to hit the top of his middle stump as shown in the DRS review, as a result of which the field umpire had to reverse his decision.
This was the second time Shubman Gill relied on Mohammed Siraj's confidence, despite losing an interview before. However, this time the DSP was pitch-perfect on his appeal for a wicket.

Nitish Kumar Reddy picks another at Lord's
Another failure for Zak Crawley; the English opener departs after Yashasvi Jaiswal has finally wiped off his buttery fingers. Jaiswal has been dropping catches and hence has not been given crucial fielding positions since Leeds, but this time he sees and grabs the ball correctly.
After Mohammed Siraj, India's fourth seamer, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has been handed the ball before Edgbaston's hero Akash Deep in the second innings, dismisses Crawley for the second time in two innings.
