Watch: Jasprit Bumrah Sets Up Perfect Trap For Joe Root With Fiery Spell In 2nd Test
Jasprit Bumrah didn't let the new batters settle as he struck twice in as many overs to put India in command.
Jasprit Bumrah led India's charge with the ball after the hosts were bowled out for 396 on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against England in Visakhapatnam. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel removed England openers Ben Duckett (21) and Zak Crawley (76), respectively after the visitors had got off to a flying start. Bumrah, however, didn't let the new batters settle as he struck twice in as many overs to put India in command. He set up a perfect trap for Joe Root with a series of in-swingers before inducing an edge as the ball moved turned away from the batter.

Bumrah has now dismissed Root eight times in Test cricket.
He then got rid of England's hero from the first Test, Ollie Pope, with a vicious yorker, uprooting the middle and leg stumps.
Earlier, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit his first Test double century to guide India to 396 all out but England openers came out attacking on day two.
Jaiswal resumed on 179 and smashed debutant spinner Shoaib Bashir for a six and four to get past 200 in the opening session.
The 22-year-old removed his helmet, jumped with joy and blew kisses to a weekend crowd that rose for a standing ovation to applaud his marathon knock.
Veteran pace bowler James Anderson finally got Jaiswal out for his third wicket.
Bashir wrapped up the innings and he and fellow spinner Rehan Ahmed also took three wickets each.
