Day 2 saw India finish their imposing first innings at 471, anchored by
Rishabh Pant
's sparkling seventh Test century. But the momentum wobbled when the visitors lost their last seven wickets for just 41 runs. England, however, responded strongly, reaching 209/3 at stumps, with
Ollie Pope
steadying the innings with a classy hundred and
Ben Duckett
chipping in with a fighting 62.
While the runs kept coming, the stump mic served up a bonus treat for fans:
Pant, after a dramatic diving stop to save leg byes, quipped:
'Mei bhi khel raha hu bhai! Apne chauke ke chakkar mei, mera chauka mat de dena.'
Captain
Shubman Gill
was fired up too, pumping up Jadeja from mid-off:
'Abhi ye pura confused hai Jaddu bhai! Kaunsi seedhi hai, kaunsi udhar ayega uska!'
The drama continued on Day 3 as England pushed on to 465, closing the first innings just six runs behind India despite some sloppy Indian fielding as four catches were dropped off Bumrah alone.
Still, India's ace pacer turned up the heat, bagging a brilliant 5/83, his 14th Test five-for, equalling Kapil Dev's record for most five-wicket hauls by an Indian in away Tests. He also became the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in WTC history (11).
Quiz:
Who's that IPL player?
With the ball swinging under overcast skies, India's second innings had its own jitters. KL Rahul's classy unbeaten 47 steadied the ship before bad light ended play early, with India at 90/2, leading by 96 runs. Skipper Gill, who scored a century in his debut Test as captain, remains not out, ready to guide India into a crucial Day 4.
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy opener remains wide open with weather, swing and two aggressive batting line-ups promising more twists before this Headingley drama wraps up.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah rising, but India's support-cast not taking cues
Jasprit Bumrah (Photo by) Being a lone ranger can be a tough job, and Jasprit Bumrah may already be feeling the pinch. Across the world, and across formats, the Indian team has been overly dependent on the 30-year-old. This over-dependence has already led the paceman suffer two serious stress fractures, leading to loss of availability and playing time, which has also probably cost Bumrah his Test captaincy. "I can't play more than three Test matches in a five-match series, given the condition of my body. So, I turned down captaincy for the England series,' Bumrah had recently said before the start of this tour. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Saying that Bumrah was overworked in Australia last winter was an understatement. At the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Bumrah was forced to bowl 54 overs, the workload ultimately leading to his breakdown in the final Test in Sydney in the first week of the new year. He was out of cricket for three months following the series Down Under. Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Lashes out at critics, dropped catches and no balls Six months down the line, at Headingley, defending a first-innings total of 471, Bumrah was once again India's only hope with the ball -- with little or no help from the other end. Time and again, he had to be brought back by skipper Shubman Gill and while it finally culminated in his 14th five-wicket haul, he had had to account for 25 of the 101 overs that India has bowled in England's first innings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ductless Air Conditioners Are Selling Like Crazy [See Why] Keep Cool Click Here Undo While Bumrah's efficacy and potency is beyond doubt, it is the banality of the support-cast that is becoming a cause of headache for Indian cricket observers. Despite returning from a well-documented break following the Australian tour, Mohammed Siraj remains a mystery, losing the zing that had made him such a special bowler a couple of years ago. His seam position is wobbly, the length all over the place and alarmingly, the growing tendency to lose composure is adding to the problems. Prasidh Krishna , clearly a favourite of bowling coach Morne Morkel, meanwhile, hasn't yet figured the right length for English conditions. He was impressive in the Sydney Test, and was the best bowler in the IPL. He ended up with 3-128, but leaked runs. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? In the duration of the first innings on Friday and Saturday when the conditions were favourable for the pace bowler, Krishna bowled way too short and let the English batters off the hook. 'He struggled to bowl the fuller length bowling from the far end, which doesn't help when you're playing in England. Not sure how judicious it is to bowl bouncers with the new ball,' former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara pointed out during commentary as the English tail kept hurting India. The fact that captain Gill didn't show confidence in fourth pacer Shardul Thakur, didn't make things any easier for India. In such a situation, Gill, time and again, was forced to go back to Bumrah, not just for wickets but to contain the runs as well. As the workload increased, the fielders didn't help either, dropping four catches off him at crucial junctures. There was an element of helplessness creeping into his body language after his spell with the second new ball – a feature that didn't augur well for India. There's a second innings still to be played and it is imperative on Bumrah's support-cast to rise to the occasion. Else, India's lone X-factor bowler will once again stare at a burn-out and the next couple of months will prove a long grind for Gill's new India.

Bumrah equals Kapil's record of most fifers by an Indian away from home
Leeds, Jun 23 (UNI) Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has equalled legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev's record of most five wicket hauls by an Indian away from home. He claimed another five wickets in the ongoing India- England Test match being currently played in Headingley. Bumrah collected figures of 5/83 during England's first innings at Headingley, with the fast bowler joining Dev on 12 for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian player away from home in Test cricket. Bumrah however will consider himself unlucky as the Indian fielders let him down dropping several catches of his bowling otherwise he could have many more wickets. Bumrah received high praise from former batting great Sachin Tendulkar took to social media platform 'X' to congratulate him and pointed out that his wicket haul could have been bigger if not for dropped catches. 'Congratulations Bumrah! A no-ball and 3 missed chances stood between you and nau (nine) wickets,' Tendulkar posted, UNI RKM
