Bumrah’s magic was visible on the very first ball

In 13.1 overs of the match, Bumrah sent England batsman Harry Brook to the pavilion with his very first ball. He bowled a short off length ball outside the off stump, which showed extra bounce and movement outside.

Brook tried to play the ball towards third man, but it hit the outside edge of the bat. Rohit Sharma, who was present at first slip, gave a great start to Bumrah’s comeback by taking an easy catch. Bumrah, who returned to the field after a long gap, proved that the speed, accuracy and dangerous edge of his balls are still intact.

There was a long wait after recovering from the injury, but with his return, Bumrah showed a glimpse of his old style – accurate line-length, lethal bowling and passion for making records.
