So far in the fourth Test match against England, Team India's lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah has bagged two wickets. He accounted for the wickets of wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith and Liam Dawson
With this, he became the third Asian bowler to scalp 50 Test wickets in England. The other two bowlers on the list are former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram with 53 wickets and former Team India pacer Ishant Sharma with 51 wickets
With his two wickets in the fourth match, Bumrah equalled Sharma's 51 Test wickets tally in England. He reached the milestone in 12 matches, with an average of 26.38 and an economy rate of 2.79
He is also the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 scalps in five innings at an average of 26.69, including two five-wicket hauls. Yet, the numbers may appear underwhelming, considering that Bumrah has returned to Tests after a long injury lay-off
In the five-match Test series against the 'Three Lions', Team India is trailing 1-2. The ongoing Manchester clash is a do-or-die contest for the visitors to keep the series alive
