Jasprit Bumrah was caught smiling as James Anderson embarked on a tirade after being dismissed by Shami
With Joe Root refusing to walk back to the pavilion as he edged closer to his double-century, the Indian bowling contingent knew they had to clean up the tail quickly. With Root taking England to a crucial lead on day 3, the visitors knew the test catch could end up easily drifting away from them within no time.
With James Anderson out in the middle, someone who is known to massively struggle with the bat in hand, Jasprit Bumrah decided to unleash a string of bouncers. In a bid to ruffle Anderson’s feathers and sending him packing cheaply, Bumrah got the ball to ominously grow onto Anderson with a couple of deliveries catching Anderson the body.

While Bumrah didn’t manage to snag Anderson’s wickets, he left Anderson perplexed enough to give his wicket to Mohammed Shami soon after. It not only saw India restrict England’s lead to 27 runs but also left Joe Root stranded at one end as he missed out on a well deserved double century.
As he was cleaned up and walked back to the pavilion, Anderson decided to unleash his fury at Jasprit Bumrah. Clearly seething over the bouncers he had encountered, Anderson was caught abusing Bumrah on camera with the Indian speedster seen smiling and walking away.

Anderson was back at his irate best on Sunday as well as his furor this time around was directed at India’s captain Virat Kohli. Exchanging words with Kohli during the first session, Anderson managed to get into Kohli’s head with Sam Curran getting him to depart for yet another sorry score.
