5th Test: Siraj Picks Sensational Five-for As India Win By Six Runs, Level Series 2-2 (ld)
With Chris Woakes: Mohammed Siraj went from dropping a catch offered by Harry Brook to rocking Gus Atkinson's off-stump to end up with a sensational five-wicket haul and help India seal an extraordinary six-run win in the fifth Test against England and force a 2-2 series draw.
Resuming from the overnight score of 339/6, England needed 35 runs to win while India needed to pick four wickets for a miraculous victory on a dramatic fifth day. On the last day of action of a riveting Test series, Siraj picked up from where he left off on day four – being in exceptional rhythm to pick 5-104 in 30.1 overs and seal a memorable fightback win for India.
Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, who took 4-126 in 27 overs, combined forces to ensure England lost their remaining four wickets for 28 runs and give the series a fitting finale through a bowling performance for ages. The unbelievable win in the fifth Test is also India’s narrowest-ever victory in Test cricket.
