Siraj once again got into a heated spat with the batter. The umpires and Faf du Plessis try to calm the situation. Phil Salt backs out of the pull on a quick short ball outside off by Siraj and immediately looks at the square leg umpire for a wide. Umpires didn’t find it a wide delivery and then Salt with a big smile on his face says something to Siraj which starts the whole altercation. Warner tries to calm the situation and Siraj puts a finger to his lips making a gesture to silence Salt.
