Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the show as he returned with figures of 4-46. There was a lot of talk about how the speedster was going to turn up after a disappointing performance in the World Test Championship final. However, he once again proved his critics wrong and showed why he is considered a world-class bowler.

Shami ended the second session well, picking up the wicket of a set Jonny Bairstow and breaking a threatening partnership between him and skipper and Joe Root. He made it two in an over by strangling Dan Lawrence down the leg side.

Jos Buttler looked to be struggling all the way through and was caught behind by a beautiful delivery off Bumrah. Thakur was later introduced into the attack and he picked up the valuable wicket of Root and also that of all-rounder Ollie Robinson.

Sam Curran once again proved to be a menace as he added some handy runs down the order. However, Bumrah was too good on the day as he dismissed both Stuart Broad and James Anderson to cap off what has been a good day for India.
