Arshdeep Singh interrupted the interview with a lighthearted remark, suggesting a modification to Siraj's well-known statement. "Brother, there is a dialogue change. I only believe in myself and Jassi bhai," Arshdeep Singh said at the beginning of the interview.

The Indian bowling attack saw the emergence of Akash Deep, who supported Siraj effectively in India's first bowling innings. Akash Deep secured four wickets but fell short of achieving his maiden five-wicket haul by one wicket. Siraj revealed his willingness to help his bowling partner achieve the milestone. "Akash Deep was waiting for his opportunity, and he showed his hunger today. I really enjoyed bowling with him.

I enjoy responsibility and it is good that I did well today," Siraj said. In a display of camaraderie, Siraj disclosed his attempt to assist Akash Deep in reaching the five-wicket milestone. "I would have loved if Akash Deep would have taken a five-wicket haul today. Your first 5-wicket haul is special. I told him that I would bowl 4 balls away from the stump to give him the best chance at taking 5, but he said no," Siraj explained.

The match situation at the end of Day 3 saw India in a commanding position with a lead of 244 runs. KL Rahul and Karun Nair remained at the crease, looking to navigate through the morning session without losing wickets.

The Indian team aims to establish a competitive score that would keep England engaged in the chase during the final phase of play. The partnership between Brook and Smith proved significant for England, as they accumulated 300 runs together before Siraj's intervention brought India back into the contest.
