Siraj pitched the seam of the ball on a good length and the ball nipped away just a bit, enough for Ross Taylor to get on the front foot. Taylor played on the expected line but was done by the nipper, as the ball went past his outside edge to hit the top of off stump. This delivery by Siraj left every Indian - on-field & off-field, very jubilant and happy.
