His body may require more rest and recovery between matches than your average fast bowler, but every time he returns to the park, Jasprit Bumrah shows how much better he is than the rest.

On Friday, India's right arm genius got the results he was after following his toil from the opening day's play, where he had bowled disciplined spells for limited reward.

Bumrah's early morning burst was the biggest reason India could restrict England to 387. In the process, he went on to register his name on the Lord's honours board and also went past Kapil Dev to claim the most away 5-fers by an Indian.

On Day 1, Bumrah had bowled 18 overs, conceded less than 2 runs per over, but only had one wicket to show for his efforts. It's a pitch that has demanded patience from the batters, and the bowlers too.

In a frenetic beginning to the second day's play, Joe Root completed his hundred off the first ball, Ben Stokes almost got himself hopelessly run out before Bumrah produced a moment of magic.
