2nd Test: Bumrah Takes Magical Six-fer As India Earn Massive 143-run Lead Over England
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Fast-bowling spearhead Bumrah ran through the batting order to pick a magical six-wicket haul as India bowled out England for 253 and took a massive lead of 143 runs on Day Two of the second Test at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.
England had a good start when Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley added 59 runs for the opening stand. But once Crawley fell for 76, Bumrah steamed in with an exhibition of set-up and reverse-swing in front of a weekend crowd to pick 6-45 in 15.5 overs, also his best Test figures on Indian soil. He was also supported by Kuldeep Yadav’s 3-71 and Axar Patel’s 1-24.
In the final session, Bumrah began his magical work by luring Jonny Bairstow to play a drive and the edge carried to first slip. England’s collapse continued when Ben Foakes was bowled past the outside edge by Kuldeep and Rehan Ahmed pulled the wrist-spinner to mid-wicket.
