Bumrah: One-Man show makes India relevant

In Headingly at 2 on the day of the first Test, Jasprit Bumrah once again hoped for India’s bowling. With a one -day tailor, overhead position and some movement pitch for the seamers, it was only Bumrah who was threatening. He ended with 3 for 48 in 13 overs. The rest of India’s pacers?

Day 2 should have been from India. After scoring 471 runs, he bowled under the cloud cover. Bumrah quickly found Zak Crolly with a beauty, and later dismissed the docket and root into the inspired mantras. But the catchs were dropped. Duck by Jadeja, Pope by Jaiswal. When he rejected Harry Brook at the end of the day, Bumrah overseas.

Please come well, Sirj & Company

Bumrah’s fierce spell post-tea was better. But the support never came. The Pope’s counterpunch Handal replaced the tide, and as England reached the 209/3 stumps.
