New Delhi: Mohammed Siraj was spotted wearing a headband during Day 2 of the fifth Test against England at The Oval in honour of the late Graham Thorpe. Thorpe was born on this day in 1969 and died on August 4 last year. He was a retired England great who played 100 Tests making 6744 runs at 44.66 and played 82 ODIs for 2380 runs. How did the day start? Interestingly the day began with all the players of the England team sporting a headband with Thorpe. Even the English commentators - Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton were sporting the same. The players of the England team also took a photo sporting the headband. But it was in the last session of the day that Mohammed Siraj sported the headband and completed the last wicket of England getting Harry Brook out for 53 runs. How did bowlers perform without Jasprit Bumrah? Without Jasprit Bumrah Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna tore through and took four wickets apiece. The day began on a sour note for the team led by Shubman Gill as wickets fell at regular intervals being bowled out for 224 runs. England openers Zak Crawley smashed a half-century while Ben Duckett made 43 runs in retaliation. Having given a perfect start the hosts were to get India into trouble but that did not happen. What happened in the match? England also lost their wickets early but Brook was the one who remained steady. He attempted to create a partnership with the middle but there was hardly any support in the middle. However he continued and because of his half-century England had a lead of 23 runs. For India Siraj and Prasidh indicated their intentions. They did not get off to the best of starts but once they found their rhythm the England batsmen found it hard to get going. In the meantime with the four-wicket bag Siraj has 18 wickets to his credit - the highest by any bowler in the series so far.
