ENG v IND, 5th Test: Rain forces early lunch after Bumrah takes out Lees; England trail India by 400 runs
The tourists looked in trouble at 98/5. But Rishabh Pant's marvellous 146 had given India an upper hand on Friday. On Saturday, it was Ravindra Jadeja's turn to reach his third Test century in a knock where he started on an attacking note but dropped anchor as Pant became the aggressor. Bumrah then hit a crucial 16-ball 31, including taking pacer Stuart Broad for 35 runs in an over, claiming the record for the most expensive over in Test cricket.

Before Bumrah hammered Broad for four fours, two sixes besides picking up a single from the eight-ball over which also included a no-ball and five wides, India were 377/9 with England's chances of keeping them under 400 looking bright. Bumrah pulled the first ball from Stuart Broad in the 84th over for a boundary. It was a top-edge that Crawley very nearly got to, but it evaded him and bounced over the rope.

Answering questions, he added: "In Test cricket it's important to focus on defence. It's important to give respect to a good ball and hit the bad ball." He also felt: "In England (meaning in English conditions) it's important to disturb the length of a bowler." When Ravindra Jadeja joined him at the crease with India in a crisis, the two, he revealed, said to each other: "Let's try for a partnership."
