[Watch] Jasprit Bumrah bowls a ripper to send back Jonny Bairstow in IND vs ENG Vizag Test
Jasprit Bumrah continued his stellar performance with the ball during Day 2 of the second Test between India and England in Vizag on Saturday, February 3. The ace pacer dismissed Jonny Bairstow with a ripper as England lost five wickets for 159.
Bairstow’s dismissal came during the 36th over of England’s second innings. Bumrah bowled a fuller-length ball and the right-handed batter went for the drive but the delivery shaped away from him. The ball took an edge and carried to Shubman Gill in the first slip. As a result, Bairstow lost his wicket to Bumrah for the fourth time in Test cricket.
Watch the dismissal below:
Bumrah had similarly dismissed Joe Root before his excellent yorker which sent back in-form Ollie Pope, who had smashed 196 in the opening Test in Hyderabad. The speedster previously scalped six wickets in the first Test on a spin-friendly pitch.
