Brian Lara congratulated Jasprit Bumrah after the stand-in India skipper took a world record 35 runs off a Stuart Broad over on day two of the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston. Bumrah, who is India's bowling spearhead, displayed his prowess with the bat as India's tail wagged to help the visitors amass a total of 416, recovering from a precarious 98/5, in their first innings. The two centurions of India's first innings, Rishabh Pant (146) and Ravindra Jadeja (104), led the remarkable recover with a record sixth-wicket stand of 222. Bumrah (31* off 16 balls) scored 29 runs in the over bowled by Broad, while six runs came off extras. The 35 total runs conceded are the most ever scored in a single Test-match over, surpassing the previous record (28 runs) held by Lara, Australia's George Bailey and South Africa's Keshav Maharaj.

Bumrah was at his entertaining best with a bat in hand as Stuart Broad conceded 35 runs in an over, including extras, as Bumrah surpassed Brian Lara and George Bailey for scoring the most runs in an over in Test cricket.

Skipper Jasprit Bumrah held sway with a mesmerizing all-round performance, which included a world record feat with the bat and an incisive spell with the ball as India seized complete control from England on a rain-hit second day of the rescheduled fifth Test here on Saturday. Such was the power of Bumrah's all-round show (31 off 16 balls and 3/35) in his first appearance as India captain that it easily overshadowed Ravindra Jadeja's superbly constructed third Test hundred that took India to a commanding first innings score of 416.

England were in all sorts of trouble with half of the team back in the pavilion as the scoreboard made a sorry reading at 84 for 5. The hosts still 332 runs behind the visitors.
