McCullum knows Iyer well, having coached him in the IPL for KKR.
Shreyas Iyer is one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket right now. With great technique, Iyer has been touted by many as one who can flourish in all formats. However, in the fifth rescheduled Test against England at Edgbaston, Iyer has now twice been out on short balls. In the second innings, Iyer was dismissed for 19 by Matthew Potts's short ball. In the first innings also, Iyer was dismissed off a short ball from James Anderson. According to The CricViz Analyst Twitter handle, "19 of the 26 deliveries faced by Shreyas Iyer in his brief innings this morning pitched shorter than 8 metres, a clear tactic from England's bowlers to target him with the short ball, a well-know weakness for Shreyas." Despite, Iyer's early dismissal India's lead went past the 360-mark.

Jasprit Bumrah, in his first match as India captain, first put on a show with the bat and then ripped through England's top order in the ongoing rescheduled 5th Test at Edgbaston. Bumrah got the wickets of England openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley, before dismissing the in-form Ollie Pope. Co-incidentally, two of his wickets came off the extra delivery in the over after he bowled a no-ball. He had bowled a no-ball to Crawley, and he took a single, and bowling the final delivery of that over, Bumrah castled Lees. Pope was caught in the slips cordon after Bumrah bowled a no-ball off yet another final delivery of his over and then got the wicket off the extra delivery.
