Watch: 2 Wickets In 2 Balls! Jasprit Bumrah Rattles England In Cricket World Cup 2023 Thriller

Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets in two balls to leave England reeling during their Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Lucknow on Sunday. Bumrah struck on the fifth ball of the fifth over as Dawid Malan ended up chopping a delivery directly on to his stumps. It was a big wicket for India who were not able to post a big total and the passion was clear from Bumrah's expressions. The fast bowler struck once again on the very next delivery as Joe Root was trapped LBW on a in-swinging ball that left the experienced batter completely perplexed.

England bowlers led by David Willey kept India down to 229-9 despite skipper Rohit Sharma's 87.

Willey, a left-arm quick, returned figures of 3-45, including the prized wicket of Virat Kohli for a nine-ball duck, after England elected to bowl at Lucknow in search of a victory to cling on to their slim hopes of making the semi-finals.

Fast bowler Chris Woakes and leg-spinner Adil Rashid picked up two wickets each and a spirited performance by the fielders, who threw themselves around to stop runs, made England look a like a different side.

The 2019 champions sit bottom of the 10-team table with four defeats from five matches.

"I missed my lengths early in the tournament, and I'm my own biggest critic," Woakes said in the innings break.

"Fielding set the tone for us. It took a bit of spin, and it's a bit two-paced, but hopefully under lights it'll slide on. But we'd have taken that at the start. Hopefully we can bat well and chase it down."

Suryakumar Yadav made a fighting 49 before becoming Willey's third wicket but the tail played out the full 50 overs.

The unbeaten hosts lost three early wickets to slip to 40-3
