The first Test match of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is going on between India and England at the headingley cricket ground in Leeds. On Sunday (June 22) of this match, it is the third day. On the second day, England batted in Bazball style and scored 209/3 in just 49 overs. India’s first innings ended for 471 runs.
The thing to note here is that all the 3 wickets that India have got, all of them have been justified by Jasprit Bumrah. In 13 overs, Bumrah took these three wickets for 48 runs. Opener Jack Crowly (4) was caught out in the first over for England. Ben Docket (62) was bowled clean by Jaspreet Bumrah. The route who could not make even a big score and Nair was caught by Bumrah’s ball.

Bumrah did not get support from the other end of bowling. Mohammad Siraj was very expensive in his early spell. At the same time, the famous Krishna has been sitting 56 runs in his 10 overs so far. Shardul Thakur has also given 23 runs in his 3 ooers so far. Jadeja did a skimp bowling (25 runs in 9 overs) but the wickets did not come to his account.
In such a situation, when the third day game in Leeds starts, then the new captain Shubman Gill and Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir will have to come down with the plan how can England dismiss England soon. So that by batting in the second innings, the Indian team can give a big score to England.
Catching of catch would have been something else …
The fielding of the Indian team was very poor and the fielders with safe hands like Ravindra Jadeja and Yashasvi Jaiswal dripped the catches. If both of them had caught a catch on Bumrah’s ball, then perhaps the result would have been something else. Oli Pope, who is currently out unbeaten after scoring 100 runs, could have been dismissed for 60 runs. 
In the 31st over that Bumrah was doing, Oli Pope’s easy catch off Bumrah was left in the third slip from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Before that, Ben Docket was caught in the fifth over at the hands of Yashasvi Jaiswal when he was 15 runs. After this, in the seventh over of Ben Docket, Ravindra Jadeja dripped the catch for 15 runs once again in the point.
