Mohammed Siraj breaks crucial partnership by knocking over Brydon Carse for 22 with excellent yorker in ENG vs IND 2025 1st Test [Watch]

Mohammed Siraj ensured India breathed a sigh of relief amid frustration from England’s tail-enders on Day 3 of the first Test at Headingley in Leeds on Sunday, June 22. The speedster knocked over Brydon Carse for 22 runs with a brilliant yorker to end a 55-run eighth-wicket partnership between him and Chris Woakes.

The dismissal came in the 95th over of England’s first innings. After bowling a few short deliveries, Siraj went for a fuller-length ball on off-stump. Carse moved to his right to create room but failed to connect with the bat, and the ball crashed into the base of the off-stump. This was Siraj’s second wicket after he took the prized scalp of England captain Ben Stokes.
