 Mohammed Siraj Skittles England On Day 5

England started off Day 5 at 339-6 to find themselves just another 35 runs away from a victory with as many as four wickets in hand. However, Mohammed Siraj struck early in the morning with the wickets of both overnight batters, Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton in quick succession.

Prasidh Krishna also bagged his fourth wicket of the innings by cleaning up Josh Tongue with a peach. Gus Atkinson scored some valiant runs while batting with the tail to take England closer to victory. At a time when the Englishmen required just seven more runs, Atkinson had his off-stump clattered by Mohammed Siraj, who finished the innings with figures of 5-104 from 30.1 overs.

Siraj also snared a sensational match haul of 9-190 to bag the ‘Player of the Match’ award.
