The end of Day 3 saw James Anderson batting and Jasprit Bumrah bowling, making fans enjoy the fiery showdown between the two bowlers.
In the 125 over, Bumrah had come to bowl and Anderson was facing him. The Indian pacer was surely frustrated as he was wicketless and he made sure Anderson felt the heat.
So when Bumrah bowled, the ball hit the helmet. While the cath was taken at gully, Bumrah was seen to signal that the ball had touched the glove.
However, Anderson removed his helmet and the physio was soon running out to check on him. India did not take a review. It's was, however, a nasty bouncer, and Anderson knew he was in trouble.
The play did stop for around five to seven minutes, but it resumed again and, the Indian bowler did not stop and continued to deliver the bouncers at his body.

While it did not go as planned for Jasprit Bumrah, as he bowled as many as four no-balls, it took a massive 15 minutes for him to finish his over. However, soon after all the wickets fell and the day's play ended, the veteran England cricketer and Jasprit Bumrah were seeing in an intense moment.
Apparently, when Bumrah went past him and smiled while looking at the batsman and also patted on Anderson’s back, the Englishman looked clearly unhappy.
England skipper Joe Root had to intervene and take Anderson away from Bumrah. The visuals of the same were shown during the pre-show, WATCH:
