England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett formed a 188-run partnership while chasing 371 runs. England successfully achieved the target with five wickets remaining.Krishna and Shardul Thakur each took two wickets, while <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/ravindra-jadeja\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ravindra Jadeja<\/a> claimed one. Both Bumrah and Siraj went wicketless despite bowling 19 and 14 overs respectively. Siraj&#8217;s total wicket tally for the match was two from 41 overs.&#8221;People say Mohammed Siraj tried very hard, bowls with his heart. Sir, don&#8217;t bowl with your heart, bowl with your mind and with line and length where we can get wickets,&#8221; said Kaif on his YouTube channel.&#8221;Why didn&#8217;t Bumrah take wickets in the second innings? It&#8217;s because the batters played defensively. They attacked Krishna, Shardul, and Siraj. Gameplan becomes very easy when you know Bumrah will bowl 4-5 overs, play him well,&#8221; Kaif said.&#8221;In the same bowling lineup, you give him (Gill) Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, and Bumrah. I guarantee you Gill will win this Test series. Those are the bowlers who know how to take 20 wickets,&#8221; Kaif concluded.<\/p>\n<p>IND vs ENG Series Schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1st Test: England v India, 20-24 June 2025, Headingley, Leeds \u2013 England won by 5 wickets<\/li>\n<li>2nd Test: England v India, 2-6 July 2025, Edgbaston, Birmingham<\/li>\n<li>3rd Test: England v India, 10-14 July 2025, Lord\u2019s, London<\/li>\n<li>4th Test: England v India, 23-27 July 2025, Old Trafford, Manchester<\/li>\n<li>5th Test: England v India, 31 July-4 August 2025, The Oval, London<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohammed Siraj of India (Photo by Gareth Copley\/Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has expressed criticism of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,11096,7618,50335,86674,32441,86673,63784,6671,86675,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-219650","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-cricket-news","10":"tag-england-cricket-team","11":"tag-ind-vs-eng","12":"tag-india-vs-england-test-series-2025","13":"tag-indian-cricket-team","14":"tag-mohammed-kaif","15":"tag-mohammed-siraj","16":"tag-ravindra-jadeja","17":"tag-siraj-news","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114757534021450628","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
