Bumrah’s Fury, Then Carse’s Counter: England Crosses 350 Despite Early Setback
Jasprit Bumrah’s early strikes threatened to derail England’s innings on July 11, 2025, reducing them to a precarious 271/7. Joe Root’s century provided a crucial backbone to the English batting order.
However, a defiant 82-run partnership between Jamie (who scored a half-century) and Brydon Carse dramatically shifted the momentum.
This late surge propelled England past the 350-run mark by lunch, leaving the Indian team with a challenging target.
The fluctuating fortunes of the match highlight the unpredictable nature of Test cricket and underscore the importance of maintaining consistent pressure throughout the innings. India’s response in the second innings will be critical to the match’s outcome and their overall series prospects.
