The Day 5 of the England-India Test match is turning out to be a thrilling encounter between the teams. Things were heating up after Jos Buttler and Jasprit Bumrah were seen going against each other.
Meanwhile, On Day 5 England bowlers were seen going aggressive against India’s tailender Jasprit Bumrah. Pacer Mark Wood who looked in very great form was seen saying something to Jasprit Bumrah. Also, he bowled many short balls to Indian tailenders. The main reason behind the English Pacers going aggressive against Bumrah was his brawl with James Anderson which happened during England’s first innings. Also after a verbal banter with Mark Wood, Jasprit Bumrah was seen exchanging few words with Jos Buttler.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami shine with bat
Team India didn’t have a great outcome with the bat in the second innings against England at Lord’s, London. Openers KL Rahul (5) and Rohit Sharma (21)who were in sensational form in the first innings got out very soon. Also Indian captain Virat Kohli was unable to replicate the performance of England captain Joe Root. Notably, Kohli was dismissed by Sam Curran at the score of 21. However, after that Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara and Vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane showed persistence and batted well. Rahane scored a marvelous fifty and Pujara scored amazing 45 runs.
The lower middle order of India had Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja. However both the players didn’t contribute big runs. Pant scored 22 and Jaddu scored only 3 runs. Meanwhile after that something unimaginable happened. As Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami showed a batting master class. The duo stood strong and had a 50+ partnership against the strong bowling unit of England.
