Ben Duckett displayed a solid performance for England in their first inning, scoring 62 runs from 94 balls. The 30-year-old hammered nine fours during his time on the crease.
The 31-year-old Indian pacer also achieved a milestone by surpassing Wasim Akram. Bumrah became the Asian bowler with the most Test wickets in the SENA countries.
It was Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope's 122-run stand that helped the Three Lions make a comeback in the game after losing an early wicket on Day 02 in Leeds.
Jasprit Bumrah made his Test debut in 2018 against South Africa. Following that, the Indian fast bowler played 46 Test matches and 87 innings, picking up 207 wickets at an economy rate of 2.77.
Team India's innings came to an end in the second session on Day 02, after a tragic collapse. It was Shubman Gill's (147 runs from 227 balls) and Rishabh Pant's (134 runs from 178 balls) solid partnership that propelled Team India to 471.
England had a poor start to the game after losing a quick wicket. It was once again Jasprit Bumrah who dismissed England opener Zak Crawley in the first over of the inning.
However, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope's partnership assisted the Three Lions to make a comeback and put pressure on the Indian bowling attack. At Tea break on Day 02, England stood at 107/1, trailing by 364 runs.
