Siraj gets his man as WI lose 8th wkt

October 12, 2025

WI 175-8 (57 ovs) vs India 518-5d | Scorecard

Jomel Warrican is the new man in, and Kuldeep is hunting his fifth Test five-for. Warrican presses forward in defence and manages a single next ball, while Pierre calmly plays out the remaining deliveries. West Indies 175/7 after 56 overs.

Siraj charges in again, getting sharp movement off the seam. Warrican does well to bring his bat down in time. There's a loud appeal next ball, but the umpire isn't interested - and India choose not to review.

But Siraj doesn't have to wait long! He pitches one up outside off, and Warrican goes for a loose drive - only to drag it onto his stumps. One bail flies, one stump cartwheels, and Siraj bursts into his trademark 'Siuuu' celebration!

That's the first wicket for a fast bowler in this Test. Warrican departs for 1 off 5 balls.

Anderson Phillip is the new batter at the crease. He defends the rest of the over.
