India’s substitute wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel took a fine diving catch to dismiss England’s Jamie Smith, giving ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah his first wicket of the innings. The dismissal came on Day 3 (Friday, July 25) of the ongoing fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

The breakthrough came on the very first delivery of the 125th over of England’s innings. Bumrah bowled a good-length ball that seamed away slightly. Smith pushed at it away from his body in defence and got a faint edge, which was brilliantly taken by wicketkeeper Jurel diving forward.

Together, they forged a 144-run stand for the third wicket before Washington Sundar broke the partnership by dismissing Pope for 71. The off-spinner struck again soon after, removing Harry Brook for just three.

Root then combined with skipper Ben Stokes to take control of the innings. The duo steered the hosts past India’s first-innings total with only four wickets down. Root brought up his 38th Test century and also became the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket history.
