Mohammed Siraj bowled as many as 30 overs on Saturday - the most for any bowler in a single innings so far in this series. He took four wickets for 94 runs. His accuracy in targeting the stumps was such that at one point, five of his lbw appeals were decided on umpire’s call in the space of just 14 balls. Michael Vaughan said in an interaction on Cricbuzz:

Mohammed Siraj received good support from Ishant Sharma (69-3) and Mohammed Shami (95-2) as India bowled the hosts out for 391 in the first innings, just 27 runs ahead of their own total.

Michael Vaughan added:

It remains to be seen if India can set a competitive target for England to chase down at Lord’s.
