Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, I0$ back of a length at the hip, Crawley tucks it to fine leg for an easy single
13.6
Siraj to Crawley, no run, clonks him on the ribcage. Ouch! That must have hurt. I0$ banged in short, angles in late to hit Crawley on the right side of his ribcage. He expected the ball to bounce a little more but wasn't to be. Missed the pull and took a blow...

Siraj to Crawley, no run, I0$ angled in from a length outside off, Crawley sees the late inward movement and does well to play well inside the line of it
13.1
Siraj to Crawley, no run, Crawley will say he's left that, but you would be forgiven to believe that he's beaten on the outside edge. It curled away sharply from a length and ripped past the hanging blade of Crawley
11.6
Siraj to Crawley, no run, blocked
11.5
Siraj to Crawley, no run, one of those 50-50 calls. Looked pretty out real-time but you also got to consider Siraj's wide angle. But you also wonder if umpire Joel Wilson gave that not out for two sounds because ball brushed the front pad before thudding into the back leg. The scrambled seam angler from Siraj, Crawley missed the drive, ball missed the pad and impact was in line with middle. Clipping a part of top of leg says ball-tracker
11.4
Siraj to Crawley, FOUR, another Zak Crawley front foot cover drive! Full and outside off stump, Crawley leans into the shot and crunches it to the left of mid-off

11.2
Siraj to Duckett, no run, fullish delivery outside off stump, Duckett defends
11.1
Siraj to Crawley, 1 run, but when he runs in and releases the outswinger he finds the edge. Crawley looks to defend, ball takes the edge and drops short of gully, where Padikkal stops diving to his right
9.6
Siraj to Crawley, no run, beaten as it dies on the batter. Short of a length delivery well outside off stump, Crawley wanted the cut, missed because of lack of bounce
9.5
Siraj to Crawley, FOUR, another Crawley delight! Fullish and outside off stump, Crawley gets that big reach out and drives so well off the middle of the bat to the left of Ashwin at mid-off
9.4
Siraj to Crawley, no run, good length delivery, Crawley defends
9.3
Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, attempt for an aggressive shot but Rohit has a solid field to shut areas. Fullish and swinging back in, Duckett tries to force pace by walking at the bowler. Wanted to hit over square leg but the bat turned on impact and it went towards fine leg
9.2
Siraj to Duckett, no run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Duckett defends
9.1
Siraj to Duckett, no run, good length delivery on the stumps, Duckett defends
7.6
Siraj to Duckett, no run, oh beaten and a bad shot! Siraj offered a ball that was angling well away from the off stump. Duckett could have had a cut there but he misjudged the line and tried the pull shot. Suggests to his partner that is bounced a tad extra
7.5
Siraj to Duckett, no run, uppish flick but again well short of square leg. Fullish and on the stumps, Duckett watchful again
7.4

7.3
Siraj to Duckett, no run, watchful defence as he doesn't have room
7.2
Siraj to Duckett, 2 runs, just a hint of width, Duckett guides past backward point and it's clear he doesn't want to miss out on any off-side ball because India aren't feeding him there

5.2
Siraj to Duckett, FOUR, first real thrash ball and Duckett thrashes for four through cover. Field for straight bowling and Siraj slips in a full and very wide ball, Duckett smacks it for four
5.1
Siraj to Duckett, no run, fullish delivery, Duckett defends towards mid-on
3.6
Siraj to Crawley, no run, past the edge! Drew Crawley into the forward defence and then moved this length delivery away from the bat to trouble him again
3.5
Siraj to Duckett, 1 run, full and swinging back in, this time leg-side, Duckett flicks, Gill dives at square leg to save a few

Siraj to Duckett, no run, good length delivery on the stumps, Duckett manages to defend
3.1
Siraj to Duckett, no run, ohh they almost had a catch taken at what you can't quite call short mid-wicket or short leg. This was a fullish delivery, Duckett thought he could push down the ground, the ball hit the splice and flew towards Rohit, who was there. It almost looked like one kicking up to fly off the splice to short leg for a spinner. Rohit is around 11-12m from the batter
1.6
Siraj to Crawley, no run, outside off stump, ignored
1.5
Siraj to Crawley, no run, beaten! This over has been good drama. Past the bat, then four and the bowler takes it past the edge again. Crawley plays another drive away from the body and escapes the edge. Siraj getting some late away movement
1.4
Siraj to Crawley, FOUR, shot! Putting the past beyond him like a boss! Siraj bowls a similar length but bowls slightly closer. Yes I missed the previous drive, but that is not going to stop me from trying again says Crawley as he plays a neat drive wide of mid-off this time
1.3
Siraj to Crawley, no run, just as you say Crawley has been sensible he plays a loose drive and almost nicks off. The Indian team goes oohs and aahs as Siraj gets this outswinger to fly past the outside edge. Was too wide for the shot and he escaped
1.2
Siraj to Crawley, no run, another outswinger to test Crawley's patience and the batter has been pretty sensible and calm so far - another leave
1.1
Siraj to Crawley, no run, gentle outswinger outside off stump, Crawley ignores
