The dismissal came in the 140th over of England’s first innings, fifth over of the day. Bumrah bowled a good-length ball with variable bounce on offer as he castled the right-hander with a peach. To Dawson’s surprise, the ball kept low and hit the top of the off-stump. This was Bumrah’s second wicket of the match.
