#3. Jasprit Bumrah talks on India's lack of success against the England tail

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Two

The fifth England–India Test at the Oval saw India repeating the same deed that they have been doing over and over again in the previous games. After reducing England's top-order with cheap scores, the visiting bowlers yet again failed to capitalize on the opportunity thus created, not being able to bowl out the tail-end before England recuperated from the initial tumble-down.

At the end of the second day's play, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah and spoke up openly on his team's lack of proper execution, when it came to planning and bowling against the England lower-order.

Jasprit Bumrah lamented the lack of a fifth bowler, as he felt that an extra bowler would have helped the remainder of Kohli's bowling options an ample "resting-time before they could come back and attack harder".

Bumrah was then quizzed on whether there were any specific plans for the lower-order batsmen as such, to which he said, “There has been no specific planning for lower order batsmen. You plan for each batsman, even if they are lower-order, we respect them. We tried to execute plans today but it didn’t work.”
