It was caught in the gully too so if there is any bat he is also out. It might be slipping down.

I HAVE NO WORDS!!! TWO IN TWO FOR CURRAN?
Jaspit Bumrah is struck on the pads and it's out, as far as I'm concerned. India review. I don't see this being overturned. Umpire's call, at best.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was a slippy delivery just because of the trajectory that Sam Curran gets. I was surprised that Ravindra Jadeja reviewed, but I suppose he had to.

Commentator on BBC Test Match SpecialIndia have now lost three wickets, without scoring, in five balls...
It was a good bit of bowling by Sam Curran.

Jadeja lbw b Curran 4 (Ind 67-8)
No bat involved! It was a review in hope, more than anything else. The blonde haired, baby faced Sam Curran has his first wicket of the game.
I can't believe what we're seeing here. India have just absolutely crumbled today.

England have an eighth! Or do they? Ravindra Jadeja is struck low on the pads, in front of the stumps. It's given out but Jadeja has reviewed it straight away. Did he hit it?

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialIshant Sharma did well to dig that hat-trick ball out. The crowd are loving it.

Commentator on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was a pretty decent hat-trick ball and over from Craig Overton.
England have got three wickets since lunch and the crowd are going ballistic.
Ind 67-7published at 37 overs
SO CLOSE!
It's full, it's into Ishant Sharma's pads and the batsman JUST manages to get his bat down in time and dig it out.
Headingley would have erupted.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThe number one rule is always make the new batter play. I really liked the length there.
Of all the scenarios I had in my head this morning this isn't one that I expected to play out. There is nothing out of the ordinary today to suggest that this should be happening.

Commentator on BBC Test Match SpecialIt is another golden duck in this series. There have been so many of them!
It wasn't that short, and it didn't get up that high, and it was a simple catch for Rory Burns.
WICKETpublished at 36.5 overs
Shami c Burns b Overton 0 (Ind 67-7)
Golden for Mohammed Shami!
It's a length ball, and Shami fishes at it and the edge falls safely into the hands of Rory Burns at third slip.
Overton is on a hat-trick!

Commentator on BBC Test Match SpecialAfter all that resistance he just pulled a short ball as gently as you like to mid-on.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialRohit Sharma almost went so much into his shell, which is uncharacteristic of him, he missed out on the full toss and he wanted to whack that short ball.
I feel a bit sorry for him there because he was doing his best to dig in and resist.

Rohit c Robinson b Overton (Ind 67-6)
Did you hear this roar, Tim?
Rohit Sharma has dabbed away all morning, showing patience by leaving most balls outside the off stump. But he is heading back to the dressing room, and what an ugly way to get out.
The ball is well outside off, it's high and Rohit is half-attempting a pull shot and ends up miscuing it to mid-on.

Sat on my roof in Hyde park (about 1.5 miles from Headingley), I heard the crowd roar about 2 seconds before each boundary came through on TV. Unreal.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialRohit Sharma is digging deep. That is the adaptability that is required.

Test Match Special statisticianThe 18 that Rohit Sharma scored off 100 balls is the fewest he has scored after 100 balls in Test cricket. It is the 17th time he has faced that many balls in Test cricket and only once had he scored less than 35, and only three times has he scored less than 45.
