Mohammed Siraj, then, rattled the stumps of Shoaib Bashir on Day 3 of the second Test match between India and England at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Bumrah was rested for the second Test against the England National Cricket Team, and the responsibility fell on Mohammed Siraj to lead the Indian pace attack.
Stats show that Mohammed Siraj takes his game to the next level in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI, and that trend continued in the ongoing match.
Then on Day 3, Siraj started off exceptionally well by dismissing Joe Root and Ben Stokes on back-to-back deliveries. Although he was troubled by Jamie Smith and Harry Brook, he quickly bounced back after the dismissal of Brook and cleaned up the tail to bag a sensational 6-wicket haul. He finished with the figures of 19.3-3-70-6 and had an economy of 3.58.

Edgbaston pitch report
Speaking on Sky Sports, Mark Butcher had provided an update on the conditions on offer ahead of Day 3 and said:
"There is a patch of rough for the spinners but it is very minimal and not particularly inviting for the bowler. It is a little on the full side. England's batters should look at Gill's innings - play tight and then make plenty of runs. It is a good deck and should be a good day."
