second Test here on SaturdayIndia tallied 396 all out in their first innings after starting day two at 336 for six Jaiswal 209 off 290 became the third youngest double centurion from India in the

figures of six for 45 in 155 overs his best in IndiaHe also became the second fastest Asian fast bowler after Pakistans Waqar Younis to complete 150 scalps Joe Root 5 Ollie Pope 23 Jonny Bairstow 25 and England skipper Ben Stokes 47 were victims of Bumrahs brilliance The 30yearold also completed 150 wickets in the processKuldeep Yadav playing his first game of the series supported Bumrah with three wickets R Ashwin could not get a wicket while second pacer Mukesh Kumar was taken to the cleanersIndia have managed to gain advantage but will need to bat well on day three as no total can be considered safe against the Bazball driven England side The pitch is gradually deteriorating with the odd ball keeping low or bouncing extra On either side of the afternoon and evening session watching Bumrah go about his business was a sight to beholdAlso Read Cristiano Ronaldo One of the greatest players to ever play the sportEverytime there was a partnership developing Rohit Sharma turned to Bumrah and he did not disappoint his skipper He removing Root and Pope in a searing spell gave India much needed momentum after Crawley attacked the home team spinners to ensure England reached 155 for four at teaBumrah put Root in his two minds by mixing the in and away swinger leading to his downfall Root was protecting his pads expecting an inswinger but Bumrah got the ball to move away from the fourth stump inducing an outside edgeThe lead India pacers ball to dismiss Pope was even more special a fast reversing yorker to which the England number three had no answer to It was a banana indipper that tailed from the fifth stump at a fair clip and Englands first Test hero failed to bring his bat down in time Bumrah accounted for Bairstow Stokes Tom Hartley and James Anderson in the final session His ball to Bairstow was similar to Roots and outcome was another catch to Shubam Gill at first slipHartley 21 and Ben Stokes 47 frustrated the Indians with a 47run stand for the eighth wicket until Bumrah breached the England skippers defense For the second game in a row Stokes was left shell shocked by Bumrahs magic Kuldeep too played his part well and had Ben Duckett 21 off 17 caught at silly point shortly after the lunch breakIn the initial part of the second session Crawley displayed brute force to put pressure on the opposition He nonchalantly slog swept Kuldeep for a six to bring up his fifty before handing out similar treatment to R Ashwin later Birthday boy Crawley targeted Axar Patel as well but after hitting his first ball for a four the opener mistimed one aerial shot to be caught by Shreyas Iyer who took a brilliant catch running backwards from backward pointIn the morning India added 60 runs to their total before getting all out in 112 overs with little over 30 minutes left for lunch As was the case on day one India had to rely on Jaiswal 209 off 290 to get the majority of the runs No other Indian batter even crossed 40 The celebrations were euphoric for a dedicated cricketer who slept in tents at Azad Maidan in Mumbai in his growing up days having come to the metropolis from a nondescript village in Uttar PradeshBesides Jaiswal the star of the session was 41yearold James Anderson who produced another masterclass in seam bowling on a flat surface In his relentless eightover spell Anderson got the ball to move both ways from a wobbled seam Even for a wellset Jaiswal his spell was too hot to handleThe old horse removed R Ashwin 20 with a peach that straightened from middle stumps and took the outside edge of the bat Thinking the ball had only brushed his right thigh Ashwin took the DRS but ended up wasting it Running out of partners Jaiswal decided to attack Anderson as well resulting in a catch at deep coverThe young Shoaib Bashir opened the bowling alongside Anderson and ended up bowling 10 overs in the session The offie removed number 11 Mukesh for his third wicket of the inningsThis story has
