When India bowled out for 471 in 113 overs after Shubman Gill's career-best 147 and Rishabh Pant's astonishing 134 \u2013 his seventh ton in the format, England had to deal with a menacing Bumrah, who picked 3-45. But Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett added 122 runs for the second wicket to bring some normalcy into England\u2019s innings as the hosts ended the day 209\/3, trailing India by 262 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We\u2019ve seen four hundreds in the match so far \u2014 three from India and one from England \u2014 but which bowler has been truly special? For me, it\u2019s just Bumrah. Yet, just the ability to manufacture a wicket every time he came into the attack is what stands out. The one bowler that comes to mind, someone with that kind of impact single-handedly, is Sir Richard Hadlee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He played for a New Zealand team with a relatively weaker attack, but every time he came on, you felt a wicket was around the corner. The common thread between the two is mastery \u2014 when I watched Hadlee from close quarters, he felt like a true master of his trade. I get that same impression with Bumrah,\" Manjrekar said on JioHotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Duckett fell for 62, Pope overcame his usual nervous start to score his ninth Test hundred, laced with 13 fours. Pope got a life on 60 when he tried to steer off Bumrah in the final session, but the Indian ace found success when Duckett chopped onto his stumps and fell for 62 off 94 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"With Ollie Pope\u2019s hundred for me, it was also Bumrah in the final over. Just look at this guy \u2014 the kind of wicket he picked on a pitch like this. We saw during the 2023 Cricket World Cup how he put himself in a different league from the rest of the fast bowlers, and here he is doing it again. The dismissal came with such nonchalance, and that\u2019s something only Bumrah can manufacture. Ben Stokes does it for England to some degree, but this guy does it consistently,\" said Manjrekar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Just before stumps, Bumrah had Harry Brook give a top edge on a pull to mid-wicket, but didn\u2019t get the scalp as replays showed he overstepped for the third time in the over. He ended the day with an absolute ripper to surprise Brook with his length and angle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
