14:58 Just reading Derek Pringle’s book about this spell (his best in test cricket) so came to check it out. I remembered Jack Bannister’s words “Pringle is looking almost like he can get a wicket with every delivery”. Then I realised as I type this that today (23rd July 2023) is exactly 35 years to the day of when it happened!
Yep. The first one might have started 'down leg side' but it straightened to be hitting them halfway up. Not quite so sure about the second. Pringle's one against the batsman shouldering arms looked better.

Those lbw shouts from Dilley were plumb

I could have batted against Pringle
Sure you could. Because everyone is comfortable facing 6'5" bowlers bowling at 80+mph in local league cricket.
