India vs England: Jasprit Bumrah continued his record-breaking spree in Test whites as he spearheaded India’s overseas pace bowling in yet another innings with his 14 five-wicket haul at Leeds on Sunday.

Bumrah’s 5/83 effort ensured that England were bundled out for 465 in their first innings, handing India only a slender six-run lead after his pace partners Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna endured their worst Test outings at Headingley.

India’s pace spearhead also scaled new heights in terms of sheer performance of Test bowlers at their peaks, catching up with the primes of Pakistani legends Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.
