New Delhi: India’s rhythm is Jasprit Bumrah’s spearhead may not have had the ball in hand on day 3 of the second test in Edgbaston, but its presence was felt unexpected. Calmly seated in the Indian canoe, Bumrah was seen bearing a radio counterpart – a device commonly used by fans and support staff to follow the comments live.While India, having posted a 587 imposing in their first rounds, sought a breakthrough against a resilient partnership between Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, the camera briefly passed to Bumrah. The former head coach of India, delighted Shastri, on the comments, could not resist emphasizing what could have been.“Can you imagine if Jasprit was there in the middle with as many races on the board? He listens. England would not have been happy,” said Shastri.WATCH: India finally played England for 407, taking a substantial advance of 180 points. Mohammed Siraj led the attack with an ardent 6/70, claiming crucial counters, notably Joe Root (22) and Ben Stokes (0).
Akash Deep (4/88) ended the position of 303 points between Brook (158) and Smith (184 *) by rejecting the Posta Brook, before cleaning Chris Woakes. Siraj then polished the tail, removing the cart, the tongue and the Bashir – all for the ducks.
