"Jasprit, I want wicket," the fan could be heard saying.

It has been an exciting Test match so far. Heading into the final day, India are 58/4, chasing a total of 193 in the fourth innings. The visitors need 135 more runs to win and gain a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. However, with England requiring just six more wickets, the game is in the balance.

Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the second Test due to his workload management, returned at Lord's. The ace pacer picked up from where he left in Leeds, picking up a five-wicket haul in the first innings.

He dismissed Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, and Jofra Archer, returning with figures of 5/74 from his 27 overs. Jasprit Bumrah thus got his name engraved on the Lord's Honours Board.

He also surpassed former captain and 1983 World Cup winner Kapil Dev, setting the record for the most five-wicket hauls (13) by an Indian pacer in away Tests. Bumrah also joined legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram for the joint-most 5-fors by an Asian in SENA countries. He also has the most 5-fors (12) in the World Test Championship (WTC).

The 31-year-old had bagged a five-wicket haul in the opening Test at Headingley as well. In the second innings at Lord's, Bumrah picked up the wickets of Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse, returning with figures of 2/38 and helping the visitors bowl England out for just 192.
