97.2 to J Da Silva, the wobble seam gets him the wicket. A poor shot. A big drive to a ball not nearly full enough. It seams in off a length, and sneaks past the inside edge to peg back his stumps. 208/5
109.5 to JO Holder, lovely bowling. India have brought this Test to life. Goes wide on the crease to make him play at this outswinger, and it moves away against the angle. Even though Holder is pushing at it defensively, the edge carries to the keeper. India’s keeper and cordon are standing a little in to make sure these catches go to hand. 233/7
111.4 to AS Joseph, this looks close too. Not given. And India review this time. This is the wobble-seam ball. Pitches just outside off, cuts back in, and there is a spike as it passes bat and front pad. The third umpire watches the replay again, and concludes that the spike has occurred one frame after going past the bat, which means it is the flick from the front pad. And once that is settled, the ball is hitting leg. India get their man. 244/8
115.3 to KAJ Roach, No. 4 for Siraj. Lovely swing bowling. Wide on the crease again, Roach is left pushing at the angle, and the ball swings to take the outside edge. Late swing. Not out of the arm. And pitched right up. 255/9
115.4 to ST Gabriel, Siraj will be on a hat-trick in the second innings pending this review. Wobble-seam ball, Gabriel’s bat is in a different post code, hits him in front of middle and leg, and is taking the leg pole out. A richly deserved five-for for Siraj. This is almost like Dale Steyn on a flat pitch: keep at it, and when there is a window, burst through it. 255/10
