Veteran bowler James Anderson called on England's batsmen to play with aggression as they look to claw their way back into the rearranged fifth test against India at Edgbaston.
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.
Veteran England pacer James Anderson backed Stuart Broad, who was on the receiving end of an unwanted record on Day 2 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against India at Edgbaston on Saturday. Coming in to bat at no.10 Jasprit Bumrah made light of a bowler of Stuart Broad's calibre hitting him for four boundaries and two sixes in an over while six runs came of extras in the Edgbaston Test. In the 84th over of the match, captain Bumrah started off by hitting a boundary, hooking him into the gap for four. Next, he bowled a wayward delivery to concede five wides.
James Anderson expects England to stay true to their attacking principles and hit their way out of trouble after a tough second day of their series-deciding Test against India.
A stop-start second day of this rescheduled fifth Test was dominated by the man with the staccato run-up as Jasprit Bumrah, not content with inflicting the most expensive over in history on Stuart Broad, set about slicing his way through England’s top order.
Stuart Broad delivered the most expensive over in Test history as stand-in India captain Jasprit Bumrah starred with bat and ball at Edgbaston.
Remember when Yuvraj Singh smashed 36 runs off Stuart Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup? Jasprit Bumrah did not quite do a repeat performance of the feat, but came close, as he smashed 29 runs off the England pacer in an over on Day 2 of the ongoing 5th Test in Birmingham. There were six extras, which took the total runs conceded in the over to 35, making it the most expensive over in Test cricket. Legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar led the Twitter reactions after the thrilling over in which Bumrah punished the short ball barrage by Broad.
