Among overseas bowlers, the Australian pacers Glenn McGrath, Jeff Thompson, and Mitchell Johnson reached the 150-wicket mark in their 34 Test.

Bumrah is now the second-fastest Asian bowler to take 150 Test wickets after Pakistan’s Waqar Younis who completed this feat in 27 Test matches.

In reply to India's first-inning score of 396 runs on the back of Yashasvi Jaiswal's (209) maiden double-century, the visitors were off to a promising start as openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett added 59 runs.

Kuldeep Yadav took the first wicket when he dismissed Ben Duckett for 21 runs in the 11th over.

Axar Patel was the next to strike as he broke the 55-run stand between Crawley and Ollie Pope by dismissing the former for 76 runs in the 23rd over.

It was all Bumrah show after that as he went on to get the better of Joe Root (5), Ollie Pope (23), and Jonny Bairstow (25).

Kuldeep added two more to his tally by removing Ben Foakes (6) and Rehan Ahmed (6) cheaply before Bumrah wrapped up the things with wickets of Tom Hartley and James Anderson.

He ended up with the figures of 6/45 in his 15.5 overs, helping India take a huge lead of 143 runs by bowling England out for 253 runs.
