He bowled 33 overs, took 2 wickets and conceded 103 runs, the first time he has conceded over 100 runs in a Test innings.

Is Jasprit Bumrah available for the fifth and final Test at the Oval on July 31? Shubman Gill was asked about the spectator as soon as he arrived for the press conference. The fourth Test at Old Trafford ended in a draw, with England leading the series 2-1.

“We will take a decision tomorrow. Wicket looks green. So let’s see,” Gill said.

Bumrah, who was rested from the second Test, has taken 14 wickets from three games. However, he looked uncomfortable during the Manchester Test and failed to provide breakthroughs. He bowled 33 overs, took 2 wickets and conceded 103 runs, the first time he has conceded over 100 runs in a Test innings.

He hardly clocked 140 kmph, with his speed going down considerably. Bumrah and Siraj have taken 14 wickets for the Indian National Cricket Team. Bumrah took a fifer in the opening Test in Leeds, while he didn’t play the second contest in Edgbaston, which India won. He returned to the playing XI for the third and fourth Tests at Lord’s and Old Trafford.

Earlier, head coach Gautam Gambhir also spoke about the selection process after the previous match. “We didn’t discuss about the team combination. No decision has been made on Jasprit Bumrah. Whoever plays will try to do the job for the country.”
