NEW DELHI: It was a day when no Indian bowler toiled as relentlessly as Jasprit Bumrah . England, replying to India’s formidable first-innings total of 471, ended Day 2 at 209/3 — all three wickets belonging to Bumrah. As always, when India needed a breakthrough, they turned to their premier pacer, and Bumrah delivered.
Bumrah consistently created opportunities, but India failed to capitalise. Ben Duckett was dropped twice early in his innings and made the visitors pay with a fluent 62, before Bumrah finally uprooted his stumps in his second spell.

Ollie Pope, a nervy starter, survived the early phase and cashed in once the ball softened and the pitch eased out. He went on to score a century.
Bumrah returned late in the day to induce a false shot from Joe Root and then seemingly dismissed Harry Brook — only to be denied by a heartbreaking no-ball call .
That drama unfolded in the final over of the day.
Bumrah, searching for his fourth wicket, bowled a short delivery wide outside off. Brook attempted a pull, mistimed it horribly, and Mohammed Siraj sprinted in from short mid-wicket to complete a fantastic diving catch.
India celebrated, ready to walk off with the momentum — until third umpire intervention revealed Bumrah had overstepped. It was his third no-ball of the over.
Brook survived and Bumrah walked back frustrated.
Earlier, India were dismissed for 471 after being 430/3 at one stage. Shubman Gill (147), Rishabh Pant (134), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) headlined the innings with outstanding centuries. Gill and Pant’s 209-run partnership followed a 91-run opening stand between Jaiswal and KL Rahul (42).
Despite the commanding start, India collapsed in the second session, losing seven wickets for just 112 runs. Ben Stokes (4/66) and Josh Tongue (4/86) led England’s fightback with the ball.
