However, Zaheer Khan feels Bumrah’s performances had a greater impact on the game. The speedster took four wickets in the first innings and a stunning fifer in the second essay to make it nine scalps for the game.

Speaking to Cricbuzz, Zaheer Khan also explained how Jasprit Bumrah’s searing pace and yorkers bamboozled the England tail.

Joe Root’s form a good sign for England: Zaheer Khan

Zaheer Khan believes there are obvious weaknesses in England’s batting line-up, especially in the top order. So Root being in form is important for them if they are to score consistently against India’s potent bowling line-up.

Having already scored a fifty and a hundred in the first Test, Root’s form is an ominous sign for the Indian team.

The second Test between India and England will be played at Lord’s from Thursday (August 12) as both teams look to take the lead in the series.
