Mohammed Siraj removes Zak Crawley for 19 to put India on top on Day 2 of ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test [Watch]

Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj dismissed England opener Zak Crawley for 19 on Day 2 of the Edgbaston Test on Thursday, July 3. The right-hander tried to play the ball towards point. However, the ball caught the outside edge, and Karun Nair took the catch at first slip in the eighth over of the innings.

It left the England innings in further disarray as it put them 25/3 while the visitors were a cock-a-hoop after claiming their third wicket of the innings.

Watch the video of the dismissal here:

India got off to the perfect start with the ball in the second innings. Pacer Akash Deep dismissed Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope off consecutive deliveries in the third over of the innings. It meant that the onus is now on Joe Root and the other batters to try and rebuild from a dismal start.
