Despite having been fairly new to Test cricket and having played just 21 Tests, Bumrah has plenty of Test match experience in England. He has played five Tests in the country.

"If I am not wrong, I think Bumrah has played somewhere around 20 (21) Tests and about six (five) of them have been in England so there will be times when bowlers adapt according to certain conditions. In some conditions, they will be more suited. But you got to give him credit," Bairstow added.

Bairstow refused to confirm the status of Stuart Broad and James Anderson, who are both unlikely to play the second Test due to niggles. The batsman said that the duo's experience will be missed.

"We don't have much information. We know that Broad has gone for scans, we don't know anything else," said the 31-year-old. "It (Their absence) would [affect our bowling]. Naturally they have 1000 wickets between them. But with their absence, opportunities arise for others," he added.
