Team India's new-ball bowler Mohammed Siraj gave a strong reaction to Yashasvi Jaiswal's dropped catch off Ben Duckett on day five of the first Test at the Headingley in Leeds. A video of the same surfaced on social media as Siraj yelled in frustration after the India opener fluffed a fairly regulation catch running in from square leg region.
The moment occurred in the 39th over of the innings as Siraj sent down a well-directed short-pitched delivery and the left-hander went for the pull shot but mistimed it. Jaiswal had done well to get to the ball but failed to hold on to the chance, prompting a strong reaction from Siraj. Jaiswal had also dropped at least a couple of chances in the first innings.

At the time, the Nottinghamshire opener was on 97 and went on to make a hundred in the very next over after playing a reverse sweep off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling.
Team India strike twice after rain-enforced interruption
Meanwhile, the tourists ended the first session wicketless as England finished with 117/0, bringing down the required runs to 254. When the rain break occurred, the home side were 181-0.
However, Prasidh Krishna made inroads after the players returned, dismissing Zak Crawley for 65 and Ollie Pope for 8, helping them storm back into the contest. At the time of writing this, the visitors were slightly over 150 runs adrift from victory.
England had already chased down a 370+ total against India before and will take confidence from that.
