Vaughan also questioned England’s badgeball strategy. He said that when the team was at 145/4, they should have reached 250-270 runs. “We don’t play draws, we create drama.
Delhi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has praised India’s star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. He said that the spell put by Bumrah in the morning on the fourth day of Lord’s Test was excellent. Bumrah bowled on the exact line-length with the new ball, causing England opener Zack Crowley and Ben Docket to struggle completely.
India scored 387 runs in their second innings and there was only two overs left before the day’s play was over. However, the England batsmen had to play only one over because in the first over, Bumrah’s fast ball hit Crolee’s glove, causing pain and calling the physio. After this incident, the game was stopped there.
On the fourth day, Bumrah showed the ability again
Taking a lot of advantage of the fresh ball and the slope of Lord’s, Bumrah disturbed the England batsmen badly. Even though he did not get much wickets, the effect of his bowling was clearly seen. Michael Won said, “When you have a bowler like Jasprit Bumrah, you cannot ignore his spell. That spell can be counted in any best bowling.”
Question on England’s badgeball strategy
Vaughan also questioned England’s badgeball strategy. He said that when the team was at 145/4, they should have reached 250-270 runs. “We do not play the draw, we create drama. But on the pitch where the ball is moving, if you take the risk then you will have to bear the loss.”
Indian batting seen under pressure
India’s start in the last session of the fourth day was also not good. England fast bowlers bowled disciplined despite exhaustion. Bridan Cars sent Karun Nair and captain Shubman Gill to the pavilion early. After this, Ben Stokes blown the off-stump of Nightwatchman Akashdeep. The day ended with India’s score of 58/4.
