India pacer Mohammed Siraj continued his merry ways with the ball against England on Day 4 of the third Test at Lord’s on Sunday, July 13. After dismissing Ben Duckett early, he dismissed Ollie Pope via lbw for just four runs off 17 balls, reducing England to 42/2.
The dismissal came in the 12th over of England’s second innings. Siraj bowled with wobble seam that landed on length around the fourth stump and beat Pope for an inside edge. The right-handed batter went for a defensive shot but failed to get his bat on the ball. He was hit high on the knee roll, and the on-field umpire didn’t look interested.
Siraj looked confident and urged skipper Shubman Gill to take a review. The replays showed the ball would’ve smashed on top of the middle and leg stump. Following the scalp, the pacer looked jubilant in his celebrations.
