Can Jasprit Bumrah's Early Strike Propel India Against England in First Test?

Bumrah's Early Impact in Leeds Test

Leeds: Jasprit Bumrah made a significant early impact for India, securing a wicket, but England's Ben Duckett (53 not out) and Ollie Pope (48 not out) guided their team to a score of 107/1 at tea on the second day of the first Test on Saturday.

Currently, England is trailing by 364 runs.

Bumrah struck first by dismissing Zak Crawley (4), caught by Karun Nair at first slip during the opening over. He almost claimed another wicket in the seventh over, but Ravindra Jadeja dropped a straightforward catch at backward point off Duckett when he was on 15.

Duckett has scored 53 runs off 76 balls, hitting eight fours, while Pope has contributed 48 runs from 63 balls, including seven boundaries.

The start of England's innings was postponed due to rain, leading to an extended second session.

Earlier, India concluded their first innings at 471, with Rishabh Pant (134), Yashasvi Jaiswal (101), and Shubman Gill (147) all scoring centuries.

For England, captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Josh Tongue each took four wickets.

Brief scores: India 471 vs England 107/1 in 24 overs (Ben Duckett 53 not out, Ollie Pope 48 not out; Jasprit Bumrah 1/23) trailing by 364 runs.
