Mohammed Siraj to Abdul Malik, out Lbw!! It's funny how life rewards you. Siraj was a nightmare for Sediq. Ball after ball he troubled the left-hander with away seam movement and came close to getting him at least 3-4 times. And the moment he gets to bowl to Abdul Malik for the first time in this spell, he traps him LBW. So if you keep doing the right things, rewards will come your way - a classic example. Just another scrambled seam length delivery. To be honest, didn't do as much as it was doing to Sediq. Just a straight ball and the batter got done by the angle. Abdul Malik couldn't get hit bat down properly and he tried to flick. Got cramped by the angle and the impact was right in front of middle stump. Richard Illingworth didn't have any doubt and raised the finger. Interestingly, was a quick review and not sure if he even asked his partner. Anyway, he takes the review with him. Abdul Malik lbw b Mohammed Siraj 8(40)
12
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, 2 runs, confidence-boosting front foot push-drive from Sediq. Siraj wasn't giving him width so he couldn't do anything. The moment he saw some width on this ball he nicely came forward to try the drive to the right cover

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, that's an outside edge that escapes to third man. Soft hands on the defence so the edge rolls all along the ground but easily cleared gully as it was well wide of him
11.4
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, oh how did that miss the bat! This is seriously good stuff from Mo Siraj. The wobble seam length delivery that had some extra bounce with away seam movement. Once again Sediq has no clue how to put bat on ball properly to Siraj
11.3
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, now the edge drops in front of gully. Good length delivery just outside off stump, Sediq looks to defend, soft hands on the handle meant the edge didn't carry
11.2
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, peach! He's troubling Sediq almost every ball. Again angling in on good length and nipping away late to trouble Sediq on the back foot defence. Hands on head for Siraj as that was very close to the edge
11.1
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, fullish and angling in, Sediq defends off the front foot

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, the classic case of the bowler getting greedy and wanting to move it away towards the off stump from a very straight line. It's amazing how every time a bowler tries that the ball doesn't move and ends up finishing leg-side. Siraj lucky that the flick found mid-wicket
9.5
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, edged but doesn't carry to Gill at first slip! He's been penetrative, Mo Siraj. Length again, scrambled seam away-moving ball, Sediq tried to defend. Probably held the bat handle soft, which is why the edge didn't carry
9.4
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, this time it's an easy leave as Siraj bowls outside off stump
9.3
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, squared up! Cunning ball from Mohammed Siraj. Back of a length angling in and nipping away sharply, Sediqullah had to play because it was threatening the off stump and the batter could have done nothing about the away seam movement
9.2
4
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, outside edge but it escapes past gully and wide of backward point. Full and moving away slightly, Sediqullah wanted a drive through the off-side and got away with the edge
9.1
Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, beaten! Starts with a fullish ball from round the wicket, batter looks to defend, ball nips away to beat the bat
