Bumrah is just extraordinary.

Bumrah has just presented the perfect argument for England to play two seamers (Jimmy and The Rig) if they are the two best bowlers available (they are).

But in Baz we trust so I'm sure the -143 run first innings lead will be plenty.

I'd also suggest Mukesh Kumar has a pretty severe case of Not It. Being seen out of the attack by Jimmy and Bashir has to be embarrassing.

Did I just see correctly that Jimmy is bowling from the Vizzy End?

YEah, Mukesh presents a case that you don't need two seamers.

Didn't get expect to have two Izzy Westbury tweets shared on here today.

The whole Bumrah spell after Lunch was just phenomenal to watch.

The setup to Root with masterclass of reverse swing bowling and then giving a brute of a lollipop to Ollie Pope.

Fast bowling at its very best.

If it wasn't for him today England would have ended with say 320-3 by the end of Day.

England did well to reach where they did after being 7 down. Some precious deficit erased.

If India are to pose any threat, they will need to set a target of 350+. If it's less than 300, then I think England will back themselves to score those even if it's the 4th innings.

YEah, Mukesh presents a case that you don't need two seamers.

The only case he has presented is to not go with two seamers if your second seamer is Mukesh Kumar.

This spell from Bumrah may well be one of the finest by a pacer in India. Slightly annoyed that I didn’t see it live but even following it on the score updates it felt momentous.

It was as good as his some of his spells in England
