On Day 2 of the Leeds Test between India and England, Jasprit Bumrah once again showed why he’s India’s main man with the ball. He picked up all three England wickets, finishing with figures of 3 for 43 in 13 overs, while the rest of India’s pacers leaked runs freely.
England ended the day at 209/3, still trailing by 262 runs behind India’s massive first-innings total of 471. Bumrah claimed the crucial wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett (62 runs), and Joe Root. His final over before stumps was particularly outstanding, and he nearly dismissed Harry Brook as well—but the delivery turned out to be a no-ball.
“He’s very good to watch” – Duckett on Bumrah
“It’s a hell of an over, you know, watching him do his thing, Jasprit (Bumrah). He’s very good to watch, you know, and Brookie (Harry Brook) just to come off air. He’s not out. So happy days,” Duckett said, as quoted by The Indian Express.
Duckett concluded by saying that things could have been a lot worse for England, but overall, they were happy with how the day went.
“Well, I think very good. It could have been a lot worse. I think we took six for 40, maybe, you know, on another 41. Another day, you know, that there’s 600 plus or whatever. So I think starting off like that and then, as I’ve spoken about Jasprit running down the hill there with the lights on, it wasn’teasy against that new ball. So to be where we are, I think we will definitely take the day we’ve had. It’s just about trying to win that first session tomorrow,” he concluded.
