India would have ended Day 2 in dire straits if it hadn't been for Jasprit Bumrah as the bowler's three-wickets ensured the visitors were in the game against England in the 1st Test match at Headingley, Leeds.

After collapsing from 430/3 to 471 all out, India's pace spearhead Bumrah was at his menacing best as he dismissed opener Zak Crawley in the first over. However, Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett tormented the Indian bowlers as they sped past 100 before tea as the likes of pacers Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur gave away easy runs.

However, turning up for the final over before stumps Bumrah tormented new batter Harry Brook, who survived a lethal bouncer. The 31-year-old had Brook shivering in his batting gear as the England's white-ball captain survived a snorting bouncer not before surviving from pull shot at mid-wicket only to be called as a no-ball.

바카라It바카라s a hell of an over, you know, watching him do his thing, Jasprit (Bumrah). He바카라s very good to watch, you know, and Brookie (Harry Brook) just to come off air. He바카라s not out. So happy days,바카라 said Duckett in praise of Bumrah after being knocked over by the 31-year-old pacer on 62.

Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers, taking all three wickets in 13 overs, with England finishing on 209/3, 262 behind India바카라s total at stumps on day 2.

Manjrekar Praises Bumrah

Speaking on 바카라Match Centre Live바카라, JioHotstar expert Sanjay Manjrekar was full of praise for Bumrah. He said, "We바카라ve seen four hundreds in the match so far 바카라 three from India and one from England 바카라 but which bowler has been truly special? For me, it바카라s just Bumrah. Yet, just the ability to manufacture a wicket every time he came into the attack is what stands out.

"The one bowler that comes to mind, someone with that kind of impact single-handedly, is Sir Richard Hadlee. He played for a New Zealand team with a relatively weaker attack, but every time he came on, you felt a wicket was around the corner. The common thread between the two is mastery 바카라 when I watched Hadlee from close quarters, he felt like a true master of his trade. I get that same impression with Bumrah.바카라
