TL;DR:India’s pace ace Jasprit Bumrah ripped through England’s first innings at Headingley with a fiery 5/83, equalling Kapil Dev’s record of twelve five-wicket hauls away from home and becoming the first Asian bowler to claim over 150 Test wickets in SENA nations (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). With India holding a 96-run lead and the Test tightly poised, Bumrah’s fiery spell has set the stage for a thrilling finish. 🙌
🔥 Boom‑Boom Bumrah Doing the Damage
On June 22, 2025, Bradley’s Pride… sorry, England’s lineup was shattered by Bumrah’s 5/83 at Headingley, helping India keep England to 465 in their first innings.

📊 SENA–Record Broken
Bumrah became the first Asian bowler ever with 150+ Test wickets in SENA countries – surpassing legends like Wasim Akram.
🏏 Game Tight as Chai
By stumps on Day 3, India were 90/2, leading by 96 runs with two days left – the contest is nicely balanced.
🎤 Player’s POV
Bumrah, focused as ever, said: “The game is in the balance… we have to bat well. The wicket is two‑paced so interesting game ahead” .
