Siraj to Atkinson, out Bowled!! Wowza!! After more than 1000 deliveries in this series, Mohammed Siraj comes in with the gusto and energy of a young toddler, with the tenacity of a true professional and the precision of an archer!! Nails a 143 kph yorker that thuds onto the base of off stump. Atkinson tried to hack it across the line and didn't get anywhere close to the ball. Arms aloft and looks up to the heavens. Jeez, what an extraordinary win for India. The pangs of Lord's will probably sting a little less for Siraj as he is, fittingly, at the forefront of an extraordinary Indian win just across the river. The series is rightly levelled at 2-2. Atkinson b Siraj 17(29) [6s-1]
