The only ray of hope for England was their in-form skipper Joe Root. But, Bumrah dismissed him a peach of a delivery. Ahead of the third session, the hosts were set back on the backfoot, and Indian bowlers didn’t give a single moment of relief to the batting side.
Mohammed Siraj bottled four England batsmen. Jasprit Bumrah took three and Ishant Sharma took two wickets in the game. Also, Mohammed Shami took one important wicket of England opener Dominic Sibley.
Jos Buttler and Ollie Robinson played significantly well and stopped Indian bowlers from taking wickets. But, once against Jasprit Bumrah came to the rescue and broke the rock-solid partnership by dismissing Robinson. Rest work was done by none other than Indian spearhead Mohammed Siraj as he took the final two wickets and guided Team India to a historic win.
