DRS drama at Lord's! 'Aawaaz aaya hai, aawaaz aaya hai' – How Jasprit Bumrah's sharp ears put him on a hattrick
NEW DELHI: India's pace spearhead
Jasprit Bumrah
had his own script ready for Day 2 of the third Test at Lord's. With the sun shining bright and the iconic ground buzzing, Bumrah unleashed a fiery spell that rattled England's batting lineup.
He wasted no time in making an impact — in just his second over of the morning, Bumrah sent England captain Ben Stokes packing with an absolute beauty that jagged back in to rattle the stumps. Stokes walked back for 44, visibly stunned by the delivery.
But Bumrah wasn't done yet.

In the same spell, he dealt a major blow by removing Joe Root for 104 — just after the former England captain reached his 37th Test hundred with a boundary on the first ball of the day.
It was the 11th time in Test cricket that Bumrah had dismissed Root, equaling Pat Cummins for most dismissals of the Englishman in Tests.

Ahead of Test series in India, West Indies to hold week-long camp in Ahmedabad
Roston Chase (Image credit: AFP) MUMBAI: Ahead of their two-Test tour of India in Oct this year, the West Indies team will hold a week-long camp and are likely to play a warm-up match too at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The first Test of the series, which will kick off India's 2025-26 home international season in which they will also host South Africa and New Zealand later, is scheduled to be played from Oct 2-6 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The second Test of the series will be played at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi from Oct 10-14.

We said that we were happy to host the West Indies team for the camp and the warm-up match here," Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Anil Patel told TOI on Friday.

I'm taking a youngster's place: Veda Krishnamurthy calls it quits
Veda Krishnamurthy (ICC Photo) BENGALURU: A gawky youngster from Kadur, in the picturesque district of Chikkamagaluru, once took the Karnataka women's cricket circuit by storm. Barely a teenager, she struck the ball fearlessly, was silver-quick on the field and was backed by infectious energy. In a state where there was a shortfall of emerging stars among women cricketers, Veda Krishnamurthy 's arrival was a breath of fresh air. At 13, she made her Karnataka debut.

'From a small-town girl with big dreams to wearing the India jersey with pride, grateful for everything. 'Cricket gave me the lessons, the people, and the memories.

Speaking to TOI, Veda, who hasn't been seen in India colours since the 2020 T20 World Cup final in Australia, said, 'I felt the time was right.

Even when hes bowling at 130, Bumrah is Indias best seam bowler: Sanjay Manjrekar
Manchester [UK], July 26 (ANI): Former cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar highlighted the current predicament around the "genius" Jasprit Bumrah and his fall from grace with the passage of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. With Bumrah seemingly losing his mojo, Manjrekar has classified the 31-year-old as the "best seam" bowler, even if he bowls at 130kph. Bumrah, highly regarded as the "world's best" of the current generation, has fizzled out in India's baptism by fire in England. He cast a spell in the first innings of the series opener at Headingley with a sizzling five-wicket haul, but soon started to fade away. He went wicketless in the second innings but returned to Lord's with another sweltering five-for. In Manchester, he has enjoyed minimal success with a sole scalp of Jamie Smith to his name after 28 overs. This has been Bumrah's story throughout India's tour of England. Bumrah notably grappled with his fitness issues during the second session of the third day. After India opted to exercise the option of taking the new ball in the 91st over, Bumrah managed just one over, going for 11 runs before walking off the field. Manjrekar felt that Bumrah has found himself in a situation where he has yet to play his 50th Test but is being handled like one who has featured in 100 of them. While decoding the "unfortunate" situation, Manjrekar decided to put his weight behind the world's best. "We saw it at the start of the series as well. He (Bumrah) started impressively at Headingley in the first innings. He bowled well. In the second innings, you could see him not having the same kind of effect; the speeds go down a little bit. Very early in his career, we have to deal with a situation where you have a genius bowler but you have to handle him as if he has played 100 Test matches," Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfo Match Day. "So it is unfortunate that it is the situation, but it is something that people will always talk about. It has come very early in his career. It is the reality we see today. But Bumrah, even when he's bowling at 130, is going to be your best seam bowler by far," he added. The Manchester Test will be Bumrah's last appearance in India's ongoing tour of England, due to a part of his workload management. As of now, he is the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 scalps from three Tests at 26.69. (ANI)
