Chasing 391, Sri Lanka once again experienced troubles in tackling Mohammed Siraj with the new ball.

Resuming from 94/4 at stumps under a clear bright sky, Bavuma and Dean Elgar struck crisply-timed boundaries to keep India frustrated.

Siraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers with four wickets in his first appearance at the Lord's and he was asked about his "finger on lips" gesture after getting each and every England wicket in the second Test.

“Yes I would have picked Siraj. The reason is that Ishant hasn’t played any red-ball cricket for a very long time," Gambhir said.

Following that incident, Cricket Australia had launched an investigation and the International Cricket Council (ICC) had also asked the Australian cricket board to submit its report.
