Jasprit Bumrah has led Indian cricket team from the front in the rescheduled fifth Test against England in Edgbaston. He played a quickfire knock of 31 not out off 16 balls in the first innings that took India's total past the 400-mark. With the ball too he has been providing crucial breakthroughs.

India vs England, 5th Test: Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow power mad dash to 378

India have themselves to blame though as they had opportunities. Hanuma Vihari, strangely placed at widish second slip, with shin pads on, when better fielders in that position like Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer were available, dropped the in-form Bairstow off Mohammed Siraj on 14 when the score was 153. India’s shoulders after that chance was fluffed just dropped as Bairstow, with over 900 runs this year, made them pay.
