Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj expressed his displeasure toward his teammates after a sloppy fielding effort on Day 2 of the third Test against England at Lord’s on Friday, July 11. His frustration stemmed from a series of fielding lapses, including KL Rahul dropping Jamie Smith in the slips and stand-in wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel conceding four byes after failing to collect the ball cleanly.
In a video posted by Star Sports on X, Siraj appeared visibly upset with the fielders, turning around and voicing his disappointment.
“Pakdo yaar, fielding pe dhyan lagao.” (Catch it guys, concentrate on fielding)

India lost two early wickets after Siraj and Bumrah bundled England out for 387 on Day 2 of the 3rd Test
England made early inroads on Day 2 of the third Test, with Jofra Archer and captain Ben Stokes removing Yashasvi Jaiswal (13 off 8) and Karun Nair (40 off 62). At the time of writing, India were 74/2, with KL Rahul and Shubman Gill at the crease. Earlier, England posted a total of 387 after opting to bat first.
Joe Root led the charge with a composed 104 off 199 balls, including 10 fours. Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith contributed with 56 and 51 runs, while Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope added useful 44s. Jasprit Bumrah starred with the ball for India, picking up 5/74. Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Kumar Reddy took two wickets each.
India had earlier leveled the five-match series 1-1 with a massive 336-run win in the second Test at Edgbaston — their biggest overseas victory by runs and first-ever win at the venue. England had taken the series lead with a five-wicket win in the opening Test at Headingley, successfully chasing 371.
