IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Bumrah, Shami fightback to raise 50-run stand, take India’s lead past 250 – Team India’s tailenders Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are batting their skin in the 2nd Test against England at Lord’s on Monday to take India’s lead past 200. They are frustrating the England bowlers with their defence and their shot-making. Mark Wood also tried bouncers against Bumrah and Shami but both the batters are just not ready to give away their wickets cheaply.

Jasprit Bumrah vs Mark Wood
Jasprit Bumrah and Mark Wood saga is going out of hands now. It all started with Bumrah firing a series of short balls to Anderson on Day 3. Mark Wood takes revenge doing the same and there is a heated exchange between the two and Jos Buttler in the middle. India now have a lead excess of 200 runs.
