India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah provided an early breakthrough on Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Saturday, July 26. He dismissed Liam Dawson, who had contributed a valuable 26 runs off 65 deliveries, including three boundaries. With his wicket, England lost their eighth batter at a total of 563 runs.
The breakthrough came in the 140th over of England’s first innings, which was also the fifth over of the morning. Bumrah delivered a good-length ball that took advantage of the inconsistent bounce on the pitch. The delivery kept unexpectedly low and went on to hit the top of off-stump, clean bowling the right-hander. It marked Bumrah’s second wicket in the match.

India Strike Early Through Bumrah, But England’s Lead Grows
Jasprit Bumrah struck early to provide India with a breakthrough, but England have surged ahead with a first-innings lead exceeding 200 runs. Joe Root was the standout performer with a superb 150 off 248 deliveries, including 14 fours. The top order also made significant contributions—Ben Duckett smashed 94 off 100 balls, Zak Crawley added 84 off 113, and Ollie Pope chipped in with 71 off 128.
By the time of reporting, England had reached 571/8 in 141 overs, with Ben Stokes unbeaten on 92 (150) and Brydon Carse on 2 (8). On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja each claimed two wickets. Earlier, India were bowled out for 358 in their first innings, courtesy of solid half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, and an injured Rishabh Pant.
For England, Stokes starred with the ball, taking five wickets, while Jofra Archer picked up three. England hold a 2-1 lead in the five-match Test series against India after securing a 22-run victory in the third Test at Lord’s. To keep their hopes alive in the series, the visitors need to either win or draw the ongoing match.
