Team India’s Pace Spearhead Jasprit bumrah UNLEASHED A FIRY SPELL ON Day 2 of the Headingley TestOnce Again Underling why He’s considered one of the best in World Cricket. As England Responded to India’s Imposing First-Innings Total of 471, It was Bumrah who Stood Tall Among the Indian Bowlers, Claiming All Three Wickets to Fall On The Day. His effort Helped Slow England’s Load and Keep the Visitors in the Hunt, as the Hosts Ended the Day at 209/3, Still Trailing by 262 Runs.
However, the story could have been significantly different Had India Backed Their Premier Fast Bowler in the Field. Bumrah’s Figures of 3/25 COULD’VE BEEN EVEN MORE IMPACTFUL HAD THREE CRUCIAL CATCHES NOT GONE DOWN – All off his bowling.
Dropped Catches Outshines Jasprit Bumrah’s Bowling Efforts
India’s Fielding LEFT MUCH TO DESID ON A DAY DOMINATED BY MISSED Chances. In the Fifth Over of the Innings, Bumrah Found Ben Duckett‘s edge, only for Yashasvi jaiswal To Spill A Sharp Chance in the Gully. The Left-Handed Opener was Given Another Life Just Two Overs Later when RAVIRA JADEJA Dropped a relatively Straightforward Chance at Backward Point – Angain Off Bumrah’s Bowling.
The Most Costly Miss, However, Came when Ollie PopeBatting on 60, Edged One to Jaiswal, Who Dropped His Second Catch of the Day. Pope Went On To Score An Unbeaten Century, Punishing India for Their Laps in the Field. Despite the Dropped Chances, Bumrah Remaine Relentless, Eventually Decissing Duckett for 62 with a beauty that cut back in.
