Twice Bumrah returned five-wicket hauls -- at the Headingley in the first Test and at the Lord's in the third game.
However at Manchester, Bumrah conceded more than 100 runs in a single innings for the first time in his career.
Live Events
Bumrah now has 219 wickets in 48 Tests.
Prior to India's departure, chairman of selection committee
Ajit Agarkar
had confirmed that the pace ace won't play more than three Tests keeping his workload management in mind.
Which format will Bumrah feature next?
India's next international assignment is
Asia Cup
T20 tournament and it would be a surprise if Bumrah opts to play the tournament considering that the next Test series against West Indies will start in less than a week's time after the event in the UAE.
The Asia Cup will conclude on September 29 and the first Test against the West Indies will start in Ahmedabad on October 2 followed by the second match in New Delhi from October 10-14 . Then in November there are two Tests against South Africa.
"It will be a tricky call but Bumrah loves
Test cricket
and there are
World Test Championship
points at stake. As far as T20 is concerned, he can play the series against New Zealand in January, which will be a dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup," a BCCI source abreast with Indian selection process told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"If Bumrah plays Asia Cup and suppose India plays the final, no way can he play against West Indies at Ahmedabad. Obviously the question arises, do you need Bumrah against West Indies or he plays Asia Cup after a month's break and plays the two Tests against South Africa. That call, Ajit Agarkar and
Gautam Gambhir
will have to take," the source added.
Bumrah is not expected to play many ODIs till the T20 World Cup at home.

ENG vs IND: Mohammed Siraj outsmarts Zak Crawley with clever setup before stumps
India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj ended Day 3 of the fifth Test against England on a high as he got the prized scalp of Zak Crawley just before stumps at the Oval. Set a target of 374 runs in the fourth innings, England once again off to a terrific start as openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett added 50 runs for the first England just two balls away from going into Day 4 without losing any wickets, Siraj decided to bluff Crawley as he brought deep square leg out on the boundary to give an indication of bowling a short delivery. However, he caught the England opener off guard with a yorker, which shattered into his vs IND 5th Test Day 3 UpdatesCrawley didn't want another over; Siraj made sure of it #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @mdsirajofficial Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 As a result, India got the priceless wicket on the verge of stumps and ended a dominating day on a high. The smart work by captain Shubman Gill and Siraj also earned praise from Cheteshwar Pujara, who hailed them for their marvellous plan.'He had a deep square leg for Zak Crawley, who was expecting a short ball, and suddenly he bowls a yorker, which was very pleasing to see. When you outsmart a batter, that's the best feeling one can have as a bowler. And on that occasion, Crawley didn't have any clue where the ball was coming. He missed that ball completely, but credit goes to Mohammed Siraj because he works hard on his bowling. He's always in the action, whether he's bowling with the new ball or the old ball,' said Pujara on Sony Pujara hailed Siraj for bowling his heart out for the team on the tour and rising to the occasion whenever needed.'He's the guy who deserves it, he bowls longer spells and is always there for the team. He has a character, and bowls his heart out. It's never easy because if you are a fast bowler, bowling in overseas conditions, playing all five test matches, and still to have that energy and efficiency to bowl longer spells and to do it for the country, it's a great moment for him,' he India batter Sunil Gavaskar also praised Gill for his plan at the end of the day's play. Meanwhile, Siraj's late strike left England at 50/1 needing another 324 runs to win the Test match. Earlier, India scored 396 in their second innings to take a massive 373-run lead courtesy of a splendid hundred from Yashasvi Jaiswal (118) and half-centuries from Akash Deep (66), Ravindra Jadeja (53) and Washington Sundar (53).- EndsTune InMust Watch

Murali Sreeshankar Wins Long Jump Title In Kazakhstan
Star long jumper Murali Sreeshankar clinched his third straight title after coming back from a long injury lay-off as he won the event at the Qosanov Memorial Athletics Meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Saturday. The 26-year-old Indian produced a winning leap of 7.94m on his opening attempt to secure the top spot at the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze label (category C) meet. His other efforts were 7.73m, 7.58m, 7.57m, 7.80m and 7.79m. He has a personal best of 8.41m. This was Sreeshankar's third competition since returning from a knee injury, which he suffered in April last year. He had undergone surgery and consequently missed the 2024 Olympics despite qualifying for the global showpiece in the French capital. Sreeshankar won the Indian Open in Pune with a jump of 8.05m jump in his first comeback competition and followed it up with a 7.75m effort to top the podium at the Meeting Maia Cidade do Desporto in Portugal. Before injury, Sreeshankar's last international appearance was a silver-medal finish at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in 2023. He is yet to qualify for the Tokyo World Championships in September, for which the men's long jump qualification standard is 8.27m.

Rohit Sharma Makes Surprise Appearance During IND vs ENG 5th Test At Oval
India's ODI skipper Rohit Sharma made a surprise appearance at The Oval during day three of the ongoing fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test between the visitors and England. Television cameras caught Rohit's arrival at the venue and later showed him watching his side bat during the opening session. Rohit, dressed in a casual black denim shacket and jeans, appeared relaxed as he followed the proceedings. The broadcast cameras returned to him towards the end of the first session, prompting former Australia women's cricketer Mel Jones to say on air, "He would be pretty happy with what he has been seeing this morning." Notably, it is also the first time since announcing his retirement from the longest format in May this year that Rohit was spotted in the stands of a Test match. Spotted alongside Rohit was Akash Ambani, the Mumbai Indians owner. Special guest at the Kennington Oval! Updates | #ENGvIND | @ImRo45 — BCCI (@BCCI) August 2, 2025 On May 7, Rohit announced his retirement from Tests with immediate effect, ending a career where he amassed 4,301 runs from 67 Tests at an average of 40.57, including hitting 12 centuries and 18 fifties. Rohit also led India in 24 Tests, winning 12 and losing nine games. Rohit averaged a wonderful 42.81 in 66 innings as an opener in Tests, including hitting nine centuries and eight fifties. He also oversaw India becoming runners-up in 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) final after losing to Australia at The Oval. Earlier in June 2024, Rohit had announced his retirement from T20Is after India beat South Africa by seven runs to win the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup. Fans will have to wait until October 2025 to see the 'Hitman' back in action, as India are not scheduled to play any ODIs before then. Both Rohit and Virat Kohli - who has also stepped away from Test and T20Is - are expected to return for the ODI leg of India's white-ball tour of Australia, starting on October 19 at Perth Stadium, and is followed by matches at Adelaide Oval and Sydney Cricket Ground on October 23 and 25 respectively.
