25.5 to JE Root, reverse, edged, gone! Bumrah gets Root for the eighth time in Tests… Make that 120 for 3, Pradeep. Excellent bowling from India’s premier seamer. Pulled Root this way and that with the reversing ball. Could have left this on line but he wasn’t sure if it was going to come back in or leave him. Found out the hard way. 123/3
27.5 to OJ Pope, cleaned up! BOOM-rah strikes! Emphatically yorked, two stumps out of the ground, India rallying around their fast-bowling kingpin. Reverse-swinging into the base of middle and leg, Pope is completely done and plays over it. India go bang-bang-bang to drag the game back their way. Fifth time Pope has gone to Bumrah in Tests. 136/4
35.4 to JM Bairstow, Bumrah has one more. He has mixed inswingers and outswingers superbly here. And there is not much movement, just some shape. Bumrah has seen Bairstow is staying inside the line to avoid being lbw to the inswinger, so he mixes in a wide length ball. Bairstow pushes at it away from the body. Gets the edge. Gill takes the catch at first slip. Bumrah to Bairstow since tea: 10 balls, 0 runs, and out. 159/5
49.2 to BA Stokes, magic! Straight through and bowled ‘im! Stokes drops his bat in despair… As if to say, ‘what could I do?’ Seaming back in and it stays down, beats Stokes past the outside edge slides under the toe of the bat and flattens off stump. Just two balls for the trump card to come up trumps. 229/8
51.2 to TW Hartley, pitch-up ball nicked to slip, Bumrah has five! He said that Bazball might help him get wickets… Hartley did a decent job of holding up an end, but the innings is collapsing around him. Full on off stump, goes for the drive and Gill snaffles another at first slip. 234/9
55.5 to JM Anderson, pinned him in front, six for Jasball! Up goes the finger and Anderson isn’t going to bother wasting time on a review. Full length and nipping in past the bat to hit him on the back knee roll in front of middle and leg. Salmon and trout; all over, red rover. 253/10
