Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah cleaned up Ben Duckett after the tea break during the Test series opener on Saturday, June 21, at Headingley in Leeds.
Duckett played a wonderful knock for the English team and registered a brilliant fifty against the visitors in the first innings. Despite losing his opening partner Zak Crawley in the first over, Duckett didn't lose his focus and countered the threat of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj very well.
On the third ball of the over, Bumrah bowled a full-length delivery outside off-stump to Ben Duckett. Duckett got forward to drive, but he only managed to get a thick inside-edge, and the ball went on to hit the middle-stump. Bumrah was quite pumped up after picking up the wicket, and he came up with a fiery reaction.
“You need a breakthrough, you go to Bumrah and he delivers. Now we have the No. 1 batter in the world in Root against the No. 1 bowler," Nasser Hussain said.
