Shreyas Iyer is one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket right now. With great technique, Iyer has been touted by many as one who can flourish in all formats. However, in the fifth rescheduled Test against England at Edgbaston, Iyer has now twice been out on short balls. In the second innings, Iyer was dismissed for 19 by Matthew Potts's short ball. In the first innings also, Iyer was dismissed off a short ball from James Anderson. According to The CricViz Analyst Twitter handle, "19 of the 26 deliveries faced by Shreyas Iyer in his brief innings this morning pitched shorter than 8 metres, a clear tactic from England's bowlers to target him with the short ball, a well-know weakness for Shreyas."

Their lead has ballooned past the 300-mark on the fourth day as the Jasprit Bumrah-led side will be eyeing a win from here on.

The ball shaped in before moving away late, just so much as to take the nick of Kohli's bat and onto the hands of wicketkeeper Sam Billings. However, the drama did not end there as the ball rebounded off Billings hands but was taken safely by Joe Root, stationed at first slip.
