Jadeja on Taking Early Wickets

NEW DELHI: Mohammed Siraj struck twice in two balls — including the prized wicket of England captain Ben Stokes for a golden duck — as India tightened their grip on Day 3 of the second Test at Edgbaston on Friday.Bowling his first over of the day, Siraj first dismissed Joe Root for 22.The delivery, angled down the leg side, tempted Root into a flick toward fine leg. Instead, the ball brushed his glove, and Rishabh Pant made no mistake behind the stumps.A visibly frustrated Root walked off shaking his head.Off the very next ball, Siraj produced a brute of a delivery to send Stokes packing for a first-ball duck.The ball, pitched on a short-of-a-length, reared up sharply and caught Stokes by surprise.The England skipper was caught in a tangle, managed only a thin edge, and Pant claimed his second catch in two balls.Siraj let out a roar, fists pumping in celebration, as the Indian players surrounded him in jubilation.India are looking to level the five-match series after losing the opening Test at Headingley in Leeds by five wickets.England currently lead the series 1-0.
