Jasprit Bumrah has come up with a great bowling performance on a pitch that is least helpful to bowlers. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his maiden double century and scored 209 from 290 balls. Legend James Anderson has ended the youngster’s spirited innings with his tact. Indian tail failed to add to the runs after Jaiswal got dismissed and India ended up scoring 396 in the first innings of Vizag Test agaisnt England.
James Anderson(3/47) lead the attack on Day 2 and Shoaib Bashir(3/138), Rehan Ahmed(3/65) wrapped it up for England. Anderson got rid of two of the set batters. India looked at 425-450 with tail supporting Jaiswal but that had not been the case. Now, Indian pacers had to face Bazball from England openers, mainly, Zak Crawley. It looked impossible to stop him and the run flow.
Kuldeep Yadav drew first blood by dismissing Ben Duckett(21). Zak Crawley after looking settled and dominating, got out for a bad shot on 76 to Axar Patel. From here, Jasprit Bumrah show started. He got the ball to reverse and sent Joe Root caught at slips. Then removed first Test hero Ollie Pope(23) with a sensational yorker. The delivery is going viral on social media, too.
Later he dismissed set Jonny Bairstow(25) and Ben Stokes(47). Ben Stokes just looked clueless against his ball once again. Kuldeep Yadav came in handy with 3 wickets and Jasprit Bumrah has put up his best bowling figures against England, 6/45. They both bamboozled England to 253 giving India massive 143 runs lead in the first innings. India started batting again by the end of Day 2 and increased the lead to 171 runs with loss of no wickets.
