Kuldeep Yadav then dismissed Zak Crawley, who scored 73 in addition to his 76 in the first innings. Bumrah, who took 6 wickets in the first innings, then joined the party to send back Jonny Bairstow.

Bumrah’s wicket effectively titled the game in India’s favour as the teams went to lunch with the hosts just 4 wickets away from the victory. In the second session, Ben Strokes was found short by Shreyas Iyer while trying to sneak a quick single as all of England’s hope to win the match became futile.

Ben and Tom Hartley did put up a bit of resistance with a 55-run partnership for the 8th wicket before Bumrah sent back Foakes with a return catch off his bowling.

Indian young batters Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 209 and Shubman Gill scored 104 runs in the Test. While England batters Crawley scored 149 runs in the second Test against India.
