Mohammed Siraj removes Brydon Carse for a duck as India take excellent review on Day 3 of ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test [Watch]

Mohammed Siraj dismissed Brydon Carse lbw for a duck as India took an excellent review on Day 3 of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday, July 4. The on-field umpire didn't look convinced, but Siraj and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant prompted Shubman Gill to go for the review, and it went in their favor.

The dismissal came in the 88th over of England’s first innings. Siraj bowled a good length ball that nipped back sharply towards the off and middle stumps. Carse was late in his forward defensive, but the on-field umpire, Sharfuddoula, wasn’t interested. Siraj then got the support from Pant, who gestured for the review twice, forcing skipper Shubman Gill to challenge the decision.

The replays showed the ball would’ve crashed in between the middle and leg stumps before the third umpire Paul Reiffel changed his decision from not out to out.
