Ravi Shastri could t wrap his he around with decision to send Mohammed Siraj as nightwatchman. According to former India he coach, Ravichandran Ashwin was better suited to handle situation.

"That was reviewed and that was result. How did I get that wrong, is what Mohammed Siraj is thinking. It can be a lonely place, dressing room," he ded when cameras panned to Siraj in dressing room.

Siraj's wicket brought Virat Kohli to crease, who also fell in quest of taking a quick single. Kohli's wicket has left India in dire straits at 86/4. hopes of salvaging pride with a consolation win w rest with Shubman Gill, who went unbeaten at 30* at Stumps on Day 1.
