Jos Buttler (106) and Ben Stokes (62) were playing the Indian bowling attack without any trouble and had complete control of the proceedings on Day 4 of the third Test until Jasprit Bumrah broke the 169-run partnership. After trapping Buttler LBW, he dismissed Jonny Bairstow off the very next ball. The twin wickets tilted the match in India’s favour completely.
The fast bowler went on to pick up his second five-wicket haul of his career as England were reduced to 311/9 at the end of day’s play. The home side are still 210 runs away from the target, while India need just one more wicket to win the match. Bumrah returned with figures of 5/85.
Here’s a look at how Twitterati reacted to Bumrah’s excellent performance.
