[Watch] Unstoppable Jasprit Bumrah Makes Mockery Of Bairstow; ENG 5 Down In Vizag

Jasprit Bumrah produced killer stuff in the second over in the post-tea session as England's Jonny Bairstow fell while dangling the carrot on the score of 25 in his first innings of the Visakhapatnam Test against India.

The Indian Test vice-captain has been a man on the mission with the semi-old ball in the ongoing match, snapping scalps of Joe Root, Ollie Pope and eventually Bairstow, as the Englishmen had no clue against his reverse-swing variations.

Against the 34-year-old, Jasprit Bumrah used the shape - moving a good length delivery away from the right-handed batter, who was standing inside the crease to negate an in-swinging ball from the Indian paceman. Alas for the Yorkshire lad, Bumrah - with his wily brain - got the outside edge of Bairstow's blade before Shubman Gill pouched a good catch at first slip.

Earlier in the day, young Yashasvi Jaiswal dashed his away towards his maiden double century in Test cricket, helping India post a commanding total of 396 runs. However, Zak Crawkley - with his fiery 76 - was taking the game away from Rohit Sharma and his men, but Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer formed a lethal pair to send back Crawkley.

After this, Jasprit Bumrah started breathing fire against the English middle order, embarrassing Root and Pope on the brink of tea.

At the time of writing, Kuldeep Yadav has scalped his second wicket of the innings, leaving England six down with 172 runs on the board.
