[Watch] Jasprit Bumrah traps Jonny Bairstow lbw by a nip-backer on Day 4 of IND vs ENG Vizag Test
India ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah trapped England's Jonny Bairstow to dismiss him out leg before wicket (lbw) during Day 4 of the second Test in Vizag.
With the dismissal, Bairstow continued his dismal run in the ongoing Test series. The wicketkeeper batter returned with scores of 25, 10, and 37 in his previous three innings.
The dismissal came during the last over of England’s run chase before lunch. Bumrah bowled a length ball outside off, which nipped in after hitting the seam and trapped Bairstow on the back pad. The batter was hanging back in the crease to defend but got beaten on the inside by the sharp movement.
The umpire gave it out, but Bairstow took the review in vain as the ball tracking showed the ball would’ve gone on to crash onto the leg stumps and it stayed with the umpire’s call.
Watch the dismissal below:
