IND vs ENG: Bumrah is on fire, India crosses 400 mark!

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the finest fast bowlers of the modern era, yet on Saturday he stunned everyone with some astounding batting against England in Edgbaston on Day of the fifth rescheduled Test.

England were 60 for three when tea was taken in the midst of one more interference because of the rain on the second day of the rescheduled fifth Test against India. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were batting on 19 and 6 separately. 

Following up his world record-breaking butchery with the bat, the visitor’s quick bowling captain Jasprit Bumrah drove from the front in his primary role, taking every one of the three English wickets to fall in their first innings.

This was after Bumrah clubbed a hapless Stuart Broad for 29 runs to make a world record for maximum runs off a single over in Test cricket, beating the legendary Brian Lara’s feat by one run.

Jasprit Bumrah got three wickets, helping India with dominating the match. Jasprit Bumrah scythed through England’s top order, helping India with dominating the ongoing fifth Test in Birmingham. Rain halted play after Bumrah struck ahead of schedule to eliminate Alex Lees. The rain halted forced early lunch, with England being 16-1 after three overs.

Bumrah added one more wicket to his name as he dismissed Zak Crawley in the second session. The Indian skipper then, at that point, dismissed Ollie Pope to leave England staggering at 44 for three. 

Prior, Ravindra Jadeja achieved a well-deserved century, scoring 104 off 194 balls. The hosts were all out for 416 in their first innings. Continuing on 338/7, India added 78 runs for the loss of the remaining three wickets during the opening session. 

Jadeja and Mohammed Shami (16) added 33 runs in 40 balls before captain Jasprit Bumrah played an impactful cameo, shooting an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls to take India across the 400-mark. Bumrah crushed two sixes and four fours to gather 35 runs off Stuart Broad and make a world record for scoring the most runs in an over in Test cricket. 

James Anderson was the best bowler for England with 5 for 60, which included the wicket of Jadeja.

Stokes is glad to let it to and its stumps! England are 84-5 at the end of the second day. It’s all in India’s favour at the moment! England crawled to 84 for five after Bumrah’s triple-strike and Shami, Siraj got one wicket each. Ben Stokes (0 not out) and Bairstow (unbeaten 12) have a major task at hand. England trail by 332 runs.

That's Stumps on Day 2 of the #ENGvIND Edgbaston Test! #TeamIndia put on a fantastic show with the ball, scalping 5 England wickets, after posting 416 on the board. 👏 👏

We will be back for Day 3 action tomorrow.
