Watch: Ben Stokes' Reaction After Losing His Wicket On Jasprit Bumrah's Jaffa Goes Viral

Jasprit Bumrah breathed fire against England on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test by returning figures of 6 for 45 in 15.5 overs. He got Joe Root caught at slip for five with his reverse swing and then brought the house down when he bowled first-Test hero Ollie Pope for 23 with a trademark yorker. Bumrah then removed Jonny Bairstow to claim his third wicket. Stokes attempted to stop the rot in his attacking stay at the wicket but he too failed to find a solution against Bumrah. The right-arm pacer bowled Stokes for his 150th Test wicket with a delivery that seamed back in to the left-hand batsman and stayed low to rattle the stumps.

Indian Women Lose 1-3 Against Netherlands In FIH Pro League Hockey

Indian women's hockey team's penalty corner woes continued as it fell to its second consecutive defeat at the FIH Pro League, losing 1-3 to the Netherlands in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.

Soon after, the Netherlands were awarded a penalty corner and this season's leading goalscorer, Jansen, powered a shot down the middle of the goal to give the Netherlands an early lead.

"India Have Not Been...": England Great's Criticism Of 'Virat Kohli-Less' Hosts

Former England captain Nasser Hussain said that India has not been as ruthless with the bat in the absence of star Indian batter Virat Kohli during the first two Tests against England at home.

The former India skipper also is doubtful for the final match of the series against England in Dharamshala, the report said.

Brendon McCullum's Blunt Response When Asked About Strategy To Tackle Jasprit Bumrah Threat

England were at the receiving end of Jasprit Bumrah's sensational spell in the second Test but head coach Brendon McCullum expects his players to work out a way to tackle the immense threat posed by the star Indian pacer. Bumrah ran through the England batting line-up, known for their ultra-aggressive Bazball approach, returning figures of 6/45 to help dismiss the tourists for 253 in their first innings and set up India's series-levelling win in Visakhapatnam. McCullum, also known for his aggressive batting during his playing days, was non committal when asked how England plan to deal with Bumrah in the remaining three Tests, simply saying that his team does not believe in theories.

Australia Thump West Indies In 1000th ODI, Becomes 2nd Team Ever To Reach Milestone

Australia played their 1000th ODI match on Tuesday, becoming only the second team after India to do so in the history of the format. Australia accomplished this milestone during the third and final ODI against West Indies at Canberra.

Fuelled by splendid fifties by Sachin Dhas and captain Uday Saharan, defending champions India battled past South Africa by two wickets to storm into the final, their fifth consecutive of the ICC Under-19 World Cup on Tuesday. Dhas (96, 95 balls, 11x4, 1x6) and Saharan (81, 124, 6x4), who were India's guiding forces in the last match against Nepal with a hundred each, garnered 171 runs for the fifth wicket as India hunted down the target of 245 with just 7 balls to spare. India will face either Australia or Pakistan in the summit clash to be played at this venue on Sunday, searching for their sixth trophy in the marquee event.
