Bumrah creates history with the bat before England top-order crumbles

MATCH CENTRE

Jadeja ton frustrates England

At the start of the day's play, Ravindra Jadeja was 17 runs away from a century, with the question being whether he would be afforded enough support from the other end to reach the landmark. The batter got brilliant support from Mohammad Shami as the pair embarked on a 48-run stand which helped Jadeja get closer to his century while assisting India to get closer to a score of 400.

Jadeja would finally bring up his ton – the third of his career – before Shami perished after playing a handy knock of 16. Jadeja too would be undone by a brilliant delivery from Anderson for 104, but it was an innings of sheer class from the Indian all-rounder.

Bumrah mania hits Edgbaston

A captain's knock with the bat, from a player you'd least expect it from! Jasprit Bumrah clearly enjoyed himself out in the middle at Edgbaston at the expense of Stuart Broad. In a history-making feat, Broad conceded 35 runs off an over, with Bumrah scoring the bulk of the runs, making it the most expensive over in the history of Test cricket.

Bumrah remained unbeaten on 31*, with his fireworks helping India past the score of 400.

England's top-order struggles

After a string of low scores against New Zealand, the pressure was on Alex Lees and Zak Crawley to deliver a solid start for England. But they again failed to make a significant contribution, with Jasprit Bumrah proving to be too good for them.

Bumrah first got through the defence of Lees, bowling him for 6. Crawley was loose on the drive, going hard but failing to get to the pitch of the ball, edging one to the slips on 9. The onus was on the England middle-order, again.

It was a frustrating day, with rain playing hide and seek throughout. When it finally stopped, only one hour of play was possible.

Root set the tone with two boundaries in the opening over but Bumrah and Shami, who were fresh from the break, were creating chances.

But it was Siraj who got the big wicket of Root with a brilliant short ball that went to the keeper. Nightwatchman Jack Leach could have gone for a golden duck had Virat Kohli not spilt his catch a slip. Leach's lifeline, though, lasted only four more balls as he was out caught behind, forcing Stokes to walk out to bat.

Together with Bairstow, he ensured India did not inflict any more damage before stumps.
