Timesofindia.com in Leeds:
The crowd capacity in Headingley was on his feet for what would be the last ball of the second day of play. The terrible Jasprit Bumrah steamed downhill, the headlights were on, and thousands of the stalls last joined the act, for what was the absorbing day of the test cricket. Bumrah bowed the steamed last van, but Harry Brook survived and the sailor turned and started walking back into the room for change. The applause continued and it certainly wasn’t for individuals, but for the day that developed. When his other teammates got closer together near the playground, Bumrah was already around the border rope and headed for the stairs. Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe!India and England had their moments, but the hosts would be happier for the inspired bowling effort and then a strong answer with the bat. At 430/3, after the next top start in the morning session, the SHUBMAN GILL-ENGLISH unit on the driver’s seat was to accumulate in more misery, but saw the collapse adding only 41 runs to the total number and lose up to seven goals in this process. Around that time – lunch interval – clouds began to play hiding and looking for the sun and short rain interruption delayed, creating ideal conditions for speeds. Overcast, headlights and a fine breeze. As they say, look above, while you are deciding to throw Leeds, and the time for this look has now been for Indian pitch. They could not ask for a better time to have a crack on the opposition, but instead of creating their moments, the party released those who came to them.

Did the weather conditions affect India’s performance on 2nd day?
It was not surprising to see how Bumhrah would make early penetration, but it was certainly a surprise to see Ravindr Jadeja to attract the regulatory catch and then Yashasvi Jaiswal will do the same in the slip. Two of the safest hands in the team could not stick to comfortable catches, and the hosts earned on the early reasons. The day did not show up as the way visitors would like, and it was not just a bat and a field, but the support of Bumrah from the other end, which was the main reduction.Mohammed Siraj took a lot of time before hitting a true rhythm, Prasidh Krishna was too comfortable to deal with, and Shardul Thakur was summoned to just three crosses. With the new ball, irregular Siraj and Krishna meant that any pressure generated by the bum was released from the other end. There were too many free vans and if it wasn’t for the exact arrows of Ravindra Jadeja, the result board would be much worse for the India team.

Even without the support that was for Bumrah the story in Australia, he was there and ran hard in every delivery. He managed to choose all three goals to fall, and even he had his fourth, but exceeding that Brook survived outside the ball and Bumhrah had to end his day with only three skin. Returns on the 3rd morning with the same intensity, but it will be necessary to get support from the other end and from his Polnice to maintain the persistent pressure that will always place from its end.
