ENG vs IND: 2nd Test, Day 5, Stats Review – Bumrah-Shami’s epic stand and more

After five days of quality Test cricket, India defeated England by 151 runs at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Stadium. It was a remarkable turnaround from the visitors on Day 5 as the bowlers rose to the occasion. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami caught England off guard earlier in the day by scoring some crucial runs. The four-man Indian pace attack then put up a brilliant show as England couldn’t survive a tad less than two sessions of play.
