No Ball, Wicket...No Ball, Wicket: Jasprit Bumrah's Crazy Coincidence As He Dominates England Batters

England batters continued their struggle against Jasprit Bumrah's lethal pace, finishing at 60/3 at the end of the second session of the fifth and final Test against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday. At Tea, England's score read 60/3, with Joe Root (19*) and Jonny Bairstow (6*) standing unbeaten on the crease. Bumrah first castled opener Alex Lees (6) with a delivery that came in with the angle. That delivery was preceded with a no ball.

Bumrah continued his dominating show in the match, dismissing Zak Crawley for 9 after he was caught by Shubman Gill at the third slip.

This brought Joe Root to the crease. He and Pope tried to stabilise the innings, but their stand was cut short at 17 runs after Pope was dismissed by Bumrah for just 10. Bumrah continued his heroics by taking the third wicket of the innings after Shreyas Iyer caught the batter at second slip. Coincidentally. That wicket-ball was also preceded by a no-ball.

The man-in-form Jonny Bairstow was up next. He and Root added together 16 runs before rain interrupted the play. Early tea was taken.
