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.

Will 'Bazball' Work Against Spinners In India? Explaining England's Unique Approach

England's 'bazball' has begun arguably its biggest challenge as they begin the first Test of the 5-match series on Thursday. While England's new attacking approach in Tests, brought by head coach Brendon McCullum, has reaped excellent rewards against other teams, doing the same against Indian spinners in the subcontinent is a bigger task. India skipper Rohit Sharma already stated that the way England plays isn't their concern but the story of the five-match series will be 'Bazball' against spin. But, if there's a team capable of doing this, it's England, the only side that had last won a Test series in India, back in 2012.
