If Jasprit Bumrah doesn’t get you, Mohammad Shami will, if Mohammad Shami will not get you, Mohammad Siraj will, and if Siraj doesn’t get you, Hardik Pandya will. That has been the story of the third ODI till now.

Jasprit Bumrah was earlier ruled out from the last ODI and Siraj replaced him in the XI. In his very first over, he got the wickets of Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root.

England after being 12-0 at the end of the first over was suddenly 12-2 at the end of the two overs.

Jason Roy and Ben Stokes then counter-attacked and formed a lethal partnership but then Hardik Pandya came in and got the back-to-back wickets of Roy and Stokes on Short pitched bowling.

Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali then formed a good partnership in the middle before Jadeja removed Ali. Buttler though completed his half-century, his first as full-time England captain.

Liam Livingstone was providing good help from the other end. Still, in what has turned into an ego battle between Livingstone and Pandya, Livingstone got out to short ball yet again after dismissing Pandya for a six in the same over. Jadeja took a fine catch on the boundary.

In the same way, Pandya accounted for Buttler who also tried to pull Pandya hard but all he could do was mistime the shot. Jadeja’s anticipation was as brilliant as it could get as he ran towards the ball as soon as it left Buttler’s bat. Jadeja completed a fine catch and ended Buttler’s knock of 60.
