Indian spearhead Jasprit Bumrah delivered a breathtaking burst during the first session of Day 2 in the third Test at Lord’s, scalping three crucial English wickets. His dismissals included:

• Joe Root, who had just reached his 37th Test century, clean bowled in a sensational delivery to break the partnership.

• Ben Stokes, for 44, knocked over with a searing inswinger that shattered his off‑stump.

• Chris Woakes, trapped lbw for a golden duck, pushing Bumrah into hat‑trick contention.

England, reeling at 271‑7, then found resilience through a steady Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse partnership, taking the score to 353‑7 by lunch. Despite England’s fightback, Bumrah’s early-session burst set the tone, reminding everyone why he’s rated the world’s best.

India’s pace ace continues to dominate with his lethal accuracy and ability to strike just when pressure mounts.
