After starring with the bat and the ball, Jasprit Bumrah pulled off a stunning catch to remove Ben Stokes on day three of the rescheduled fifth Test being played at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday.
Bumrah had a whirlwind time with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls, a majority of which came from a record 35-run over off Stuart Broad. With the ball, Bumrah ran through the top order, dismissing the likes of Alex Lees, Zack Crawley and Ollie Pope, including twice taking a wicket on extra deliveries after no-balls.
Having given India the edge with his all-around efforts the day prior, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah took a one-handed stunner to send back his opposite number.
IND vs ENG, 5th Test, Day 3 – LIVE
On the third ball of the 38th over of the England first innings, Bumrah dropped a rather easy catch of Stokes off Shardul Thakur’s bowling at mid-off. He more than made up for it though on the very next ball as he sent back Stokes for 25.
Watch the catch here –
A pretty special catch. It’s been an enthralling morning.

Fans tough wondered, quite rightly, if there’s anything that Bumrah cannot do?
Stokes carries on his aggressive approach & hits it hard near mid-off, Boom completes a stellar catch, diving to his left
Redemption for Thakur & Bumrah who dropped Stokes earlier
