ENG v IND, 5th Test: What I saw today was absolutely bizarre, says Shastri on Bumrah's carnage against Broad
But then came carnage in the 84th over, with 29 runs coming off Bumrah's bat and rest coming from six extras, making it the most expensive over in the history of Test cricket. It propelled India to cross the 400-run mark and eventually end at 416 in 84.5 overs after being 98/5 at one stage. Bumrah remained unbeaten on 31 off 16 balls and added 41 for the last wicket with Mohammed Siraj (2).

ENG v IND, 5th Test: Rain forces early lunch after Bumrah takes out Lees; England trail India by 400 runs
The tourists looked in trouble at 98/5. But Rishabh Pant's marvellous 146 had given India an upper hand on Friday. On Saturday, it was Ravindra Jadeja's turn to reach his third Test century in a knock where he started on an attacking note but dropped anchor as Pant became the aggressor. Bumrah then hit a crucial 16-ball 31, including taking pacer Stuart Broad for 35 runs in an over, claiming the record for the most expensive over in Test cricket.
WATCH | Jasprit Bumrah scores 35 runs in one over in fifth test against England
Before Bumrah hammered Broad for four fours, two sixes besides picking up a single from the eight-ball over which also included a no-ball and five wides, India were 377/9 with England's chances of keeping them under 400 looking bright. Bumrah pulled the first ball from Stuart Broad in the 84th over for a boundary. It was a top-edge that Crawley very nearly got to, but it evaded him and bounced over the rope.
Cricketers across the world wonderstruck with Rishabh Pant's heroics
Pant produced phenomenal innings of 146 runs off just 111 balls rescuing India from a precarious position on the opening day in Edgbaston. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out) started with India struggling at 98/5, eventually helping the team past the 300-run mark with a magnificent 222-run stand for the sixth wicket.

Every match I look to give my 100%: Rishabh Pant
Answering questions, he added: "In Test cricket it's important to focus on defence. It's important to give respect to a good ball and hit the bad ball." He also felt: "In England (meaning in English conditions) it's important to disturb the length of a bowler." When Ravindra Jadeja joined him at the crease with India in a crisis, the two, he revealed, said to each other: "Let's try for a partnership."
