Thrilling Day 2 of IND vs ENG Test: Pant Shines, Bumrah's Mistake Haunts India

Exciting Developments on Day 2 of the Headingley Test

The Test match between India and England at Headingley has reached an exhilarating point. On the second day, three players stood out with their performances. Rishabh Pant began with a remarkable century, followed by England's Ollie Pope, who also scored a century. By the end of the day's play, Jasprit Bumrah had made his mark. However, a critical mistake by Bumrah in the final over could have serious repercussions for Team India.


Pant Breaks Records with His Century

On the second day of the Headingley Test, Rishabh Pant achieved a record-breaking century. With his seventh Test century, he surpassed the record previously held by former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Pant has now become the wicketkeeper-batsman with the most centuries for India. The team had hoped to surpass the 500-run mark, but they lost seven wickets for just 41 runs, concluding their innings at 471 runs.


Root Falls to Bumrah Again

England's star batsman Joe Root has been in excellent form lately. However, he seems to struggle against Jasprit Bumrah, as he fell victim to him for the tenth time in Test cricket, even on his home ground. The day ended with a significant error from Bumrah.


Bumrah's Critical Error

After Root's dismissal, England's limited-overs captain Harry Brook came to bat. He appeared to be in trouble against Bumrah, looking likely to be dismissed at any moment. In the final over of the day, Bumrah bowled a brilliant bouncer that caught Brook off guard, leading to a catch by Siraj. Just as Brook was heading back to the dressing room, the umpire called him back, signaling a no-ball, which shattered the hopes of Bumrah and millions of Indian fans.


Harry Brook: A Potential Threat

Bumrah's mistake could prove costly for Team India, as Harry Brook has an impressive record in Test cricket. He has even scored a triple century, having made 317 runs against Pakistan in Multan. In his 26 Tests, Brook has amassed 2,339 runs in 42 innings at an average of 58.48, including eight centuries and one triple century.
