Mohammed Siraj asked crowd to cheer reminds Virat Kohli: The ongoing India vs England Test at the Oval has reached an exciting turn. At the beginning of the day, Team India seemed to be in control but after this, Harry Brook and Joe Root scored centuries and put England in a strong position.

Mohammed Siraj: However, after this the Indian bowlers made a comeback and took some wickets in quick succession. Right now the game is stopped due to rain and England needs 35 runs to win and has 4 wickets left. Meanwhile, a video of the fourth day of the fifth Test is going viral, in which Mohammed Siraj can be seen doing something during fielding, which Virat Kohli is usually seen doing.

Mohammed Siraj sought support from the crowd in Kohli’s style

Actually, when England’s score was 335/5 and they needed 39 runs to win. Then before the start of the 72nd over, Mohammad Siraj, who was near the boundary line, appealed to the fans to make noise so that the enthusiasm of the Indian team remains and the English batsmen are out as soon as possible.

When Siraj gestured to the crowd to make noise, everyone remembered Virat Kohli. Virat also used to ask the crowd to cheer when Team India needed to boost their morale a little. That is why this act of Siraj is being linked to Kohli.

Siraj had to pay a heavy price for giving life to Harry Brook

Let us tell you that Mohammad Siraj made a big mistake in fielding today. When Harry Brook was batting on just 19 runs, Siraj touched the boundary rope while taking his catch. That is why Brook survived despite being caught.

He took full advantage of this lifeline and scored a century in 91 balls, which is the third fastest century by any English batsman against India in this format. Brook played an innings of 111 runs in 98 balls and hit 14 fours and two sixes. There was a partnership of 195 runs between him and Joe Root. Root also scored a century later and was out after scoring 105 runs.

Oval Test: When India’s second innings ended at 396 runs on the third day of the match, most of the fans felt that Team India would now win this match easily because England had a target of 374 runs to win. Such a big score has never been chased in the fourth innings at the Oval. But the England team is showing tremendous hard work to create history.

Oval Test: When England started playing ahead of the score of 50/1 at the beginning of the fourth day’s play, they soon lost the wickets of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. After this, Joe Root and Harry Brook came out as the death of Team India.

Oval Test: When Brook was batting on a personal score of 38 runs, he got a big life due to the mistake of Mohammad Siraj, which he took full advantage of. Brook scored a blazing century in 91 balls and played an important role in putting England in a strong position. At the same time, after him, Joe Root also did not delay at all in completing his century.

He scored the third century in the series. This was the 39th century of Root’s career and he has come at number four in terms of scoring the most centuries in the Test format. This right-handed star player was dismissed after scoring 105 runs.

Excitement increased after Joe Root’s dismissal

After Joe Root’s dismissal, Team India has made a comeback in the match and its hopes of victory have been revived again. Although England still has a good batting line-up, anything can happen under pressure. Due to bad light and rain in the third session of the day’s play, full overs could not be bowled. On the fifth day, England will have to score 35 more runs to win and India will have to take 4 wickets. Jamie Smith (2) and Jamie Overton (not out) are at the crease.

Stuart Broad furious over early end of Day 4 at The Oval: There is a different suspense and drama in the fifth Test match being played between India and England at the Oval. India has given England a target of 374 runs to win, from which the hosts are only 35 runs away. By the end of the fourth day of the match, they have scored 339 runs after losing 6 wickets. It has become impossible for India to win the match from here.

• Siraj missed Harry Brook’s catch

Stuart Broad: Although the decision of this match would have been taken on the fourth day itself, but due to rain, the umpire first stopped the game and later announced its early end. Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad looked very angry with this decision of the umpire. He called this decision a lazy decision. After the day’s play ended, Broad wrote on X,

Stuart Broad: “There are still 20 minutes left for the expected start time. All the spectators at the train station are wearing glasses. I felt that the spectators deserved to see the end of this Test match. I think it was a lazy decision to cancel the match at 6 pm. I wonder, who makes these decisions?”

Siraj missed Harry Brook’s catch

India is looking for 4 wickets to win this match. After the fourth day’s play started, it seemed that India would win this match easily, but Harry Brook and Joe Root‘s centuries turned the whole game around. Actually, Mohammad Siraj made a big blunder by dropping Brook’s catch on the boundary line. When he missed this catch, Brook was playing after scoring just 19 runs.

Actually, in the 35th over of the innings, Brook hit a pull shot on Prasidh Krishna’s bouncer. The ball was in the air but near the boundary. Siraj was under it. He also caught the catch at deep fine leg, but during this he went a step back and his foot touched the boundary rope, which gave England 6 runs and Harry Brook got a lifeline. In this way, this catch proved costly for Team India and Brook then completed his century by batting brilliantly.
