England skipper Joe Root's 21st century in Test matches helped his side get the score over 300 and get a 208-run lead in the second innings.
Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah took his sixth five-wicket haul in Test matches as he helped his side bowl out England for 303 runs in the second innings in the first Test at Trent Bridge. Bumrah, who looked off-colour in the World Test Championship (WTC) final has left it behind and has been the best bowler on the show for the visitors in the ongoing Test.
Bumrah scalped out four England batsmen and got five more in the second to finish with nine wickets for the match going with his 28 runs with the bat. The wicket procession in the second innings was started by Mohammed Siraj, who dismissed the left-hander Rory Burns.
after which, it was the Bumrah show with the ball and Joe Root show with the bat. Bumrah's first victim was Zak Crawley getting him caught behind after which Root and Sibley formed a controlled partnership.
Root was the aggressor as he kept finding boundaries regularly and Sibley played his natural defiant game as the yin and yang helped England's score beyond 100. England lost Sibley quickly after the lunch as Bumrah got his second of the innings, but Root marched on.
He kept batting, and that too at a good pace. Jonny Bairstow, Dan Lawrence with scores of 30 and 25 respectively. Although they weren't huge scores, the small partnerships kept England on course for a 200-run lead, which could prove to be more than handy in Nottingham on Day 5 with all the rain around.
Root kept finding support from the other end and eventually after being in the 90s for more than 30 deliveries, he finally reached the three-figure mark with a straight boundary and took his side's lead over 175.
However, he was quickly removed by Bumrah and despite some late runs by Sam Curran, India were able to bowl out the hists after Root went back. Bumrah got rid of Curran and Stuart Broad in consecutive deliveries to complete his five wickets.
