Out of these seven wickets, Bumrah accounted for three. Apart from removing Australian opener Marcus Harris, the pacer claimed wickets of Shaun Marsh and Travis Head. While Marsh was trapped in front of the wickets, Head was bowled by Bumrah.
On the last ball before the lunch break, Bumrah dished out a slower yorker to catch Marsh off-guard. Bumrah, who was bowling at quite a pace, outfoxed Marsh with a slower delivery which landed directly on batsman’s feet. Marsh was adjudged lbw and he didn’t feel the need to review the decision.
