Ben Stokes breaks ninth-wicket stand as Jasprit Bumrah loses patience and gifts his wicket on Day 5 of ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test [Watch]

England captain Ben Stokes provided his team a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Jasprit Bumrah to end India’s ninth-wicket stand on Day 5 at Lord’s on Monday, July 14. Stokes removed Bumrah caught behind as the latter lost his patience and threw away his wicket while trying to play a hook shot. The right-handed batter perished for five runs off 54 balls after sharing a 35-run partnership for the penultimate wicket with Ravindra Jadeja in 22 overs.

The dismissal came in the 62nd over of India’s run chase. Stokes bowled a short delivery at waist height, and Bumrah tried to whack it over the infield. He, however, miscued it to substitute fielder Sam Cook, who took a good catch running backwards at mid-on. The shot came even as Jadeja shook his head in disappointment on multiple occasions as his batting partner tried to take on Stokes but missed out on several occasions.
