Manav Suthar to Abdul Malik, out Caught by Mohammed Siraj!! Manav strikes in his first over. Maiden Test wicket and he's delighted. Malik felt he had to do something with the ball spinning square. He shuffles across, sits down and decides to play the sweep, gets a top-edge and the ball lobs behind the wicket. Rahul runs to his left from slip and Siraj comes in from backward square. Almost a miscommunication between the duo but Siraj manages to hang on low. Siraj has a word with Rahul after completing the catch. It was Siraj's catch and he was almost put off by Rahul entering his peripheral vision. Replays show that the ball deflected off the shoulder and hence did not go far. Pant is the first one to go to Manav and embrace him. Abdul Malik c Mohammed Siraj b Manav Suthar 16(18) [4s-3]
