[Watch] ENG vs IND 2025: Mohammed Siraj celebrates in Ben Duckett's face, gives fiery send-off after dismissal

A charged-up Mohammed Siraj roared in delight after dismissing Ben Duckett on the fourth day of the third Test against England at Lord's. Duckett proceeded to make slight contact with Siraj's shoulders while going past him after being caught at mid-on.

Duckett was cramped for room as his pull shot found the hands of Jasprit Bumrah. The ball came off the inside half of the bat and Duckett did not get the required elevation. He did not react but seemingly changed his path as there was a slight shoulder bump between the duo. The England opener walked back after scoring a run-a-ball 12.

Siraj gets the wicket of Duckett, but that celebration was unacceptable. Charging in the batter’s face with shoulder contact crosses the line. Passion is fine — intimidation isn't. Umpires should step in. #ENGvIND #SpiritOfCricket #ENGvIND #SkySports
