India, June 22 -- Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of India's bowlers on Saturday, picking all three England wickets in the first innings after the visitors posted a 471-run total. The pacer got rid of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Joe Root to reduce the hosts to 209/3 at stumps on Day 2.

Bumrah drew over 35.3% false shots in his 13 overs on Day 2. He finished with figures of 3/25. The 31-year-old continued to create chances for the visitors throughout the first innings, but the team was not able to hold on to them. He eventually overtook Pakistan great Wasim Akram to become the highest Asian wicket-taker in SENA countries.
