England vs India, India defeated England by 151 runs at Lord’s Cricket Stadium after five days of excellent Test cricket. On Day 5, the visitors made a stunning comeback as the bowlers responded to the occasion. Earlier in the day, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami surprised England by scoring some vital runs. The four-man Indian speed attack then put on a magnificent display, allowing England to bat for only two sessions.

James Anderson, England’s experienced pacer, reflected on his fight with India’s Jasprit Bumrah at Lord’s during the five-match series’ second Test. Anderson was faced with a 10-ball over from Bumrah, who was on a mission to get his first wicket of the match. The 39-year-old survived Bumrah’s bouncer assault, but he was bowled by Mohammed Shami in the very next over. Anderson claimed he had never faced anything like it in his career, recalling confronting one of the most terrifying periods in Test cricket.

Anderson admitted he was taken off guard while facing Bumrah in the first innings of the second Test on a BBC podcast called ‘Tailenders.’

“I was taken off surprise a little since all the hitters coming in were commenting on how sluggish the pitch was, especially when it was hammered in short. When I walked out to bat, Joe Root claimed Bumrah wasn’t bowling as quickly as he usually is. Isn’t it true that the first ball was 90 mph on the money?”

“After that, I’ve never felt like he wasn’t trying to get me out, and I don’t believe I’ve ever felt like that in my career. He bowled a 10-, 11-, or 12-ball over, bowling no ball after no ball and bowling short. I believe he delivered two on the stumps, which I was able to retrieve “Added he.

England had a modest lead in the first innings but lost control on the last day when Bumrah and Shami put on an unbroken 89-run partnership for the ninth wicket to put India in command.

The Indian bowlers bowled England out for 120 in the second innings, giving India a 1-0 series lead in the five-match series.
