Jasprit Bumrah completed his 15th Test five-wicket haul and, in the process, got his name on the Lord’s Honours Board for the first time in his career. His 5/74 in 27 overs included five maidens and helped India dismiss England for 387 in the first innings of the third Test on Friday. Bumrah had taken three wickets in a devastating early spell on Day 2 before adding one more to his tally in the second session and completing the fifer. Bumrah had dismissed Harry Brook in the final session of Day 1.
Bumrah has thus taken a five-wicket haul for the second consecutive time in this series, having done so in the first innings of the first Test as well. He then sat out the second Test, in which Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj stepped up in his absence and helped India secure a series-levelling win.
