India’s Jasprit Bumrah delivered a masterclass in reverse swing to crush England with his best-ever Test figures on home soil.
Bumrah claimed 6-45 including a sensational yorker, dismissing England for 253 and handing India a 143-run first-innings lead, which they extended with 28 runs without loss before stumps.
“He has been nothing short of magnificent today,” Kevin Pietersen said in commentary.

Former England spinner Phil Tufnell said on BBC: “That is a serious five-fer for Jasprit Bumrah when his side really needed him.
“They were in trouble and he had to stand up. He’s been amazing, ripped the heart out of England and turned the game on its head.”
He has the second-lowest Test average of any player with 150 wickets or more.
“I don’t look at numbers, it adds unnecessary pressure on you… you take extra baggage,” Bumrah said.

6-fa! Bumrah absolutely shreds England | 02:22
Jaiswal set up India’s dominance with his first Test double century to steer the hosts to 396 all out in the first session after they started the day on 336-6.
In reply, England lost Ben Duckett for 21 off Kuldeep but fellow opener Crawley, on his 26th birthday, kept up the charge in his 78-ball blitz laced with 11 fours and two sixes.
Crawley attacked with three straight fours off Bumrah in a demonstration of England’s fearless “Bazball” style of play and raised his fifty with a six.
But he mistimed off Axar Patel’s left-arm spin for a brilliant running catch by Shreyas Iyer and India capitalised on the error.
Bumrah got Joe Root caught at slip for five with his reverse swing and then brought the house down when he bowled first-Test hero Ollie Pope for 23 with a trademark yorker.
Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta said on BBC: “Jasprit Bumrah is an absolute genius. What a delivery. As a batter I don’t think you can do too much with that.”
Stokes attempted to stop the rot in his attacking stay at the wicket but Kuldeep, a left-arm wrist spinner, and Bumrah kept chipping away to rattle the middle and lower order.
Bumrah bowled Stokes on 47 for his 150th Test wicket with a delivery that seamed back in to the left-hand batsman and stayed low to rattle the stumps.
He then registered his 10th five-wicket haul in Tests after he sent back Tom Hartley for 21 and took one more to wrap up the innings.
Earlier, Jaiswal hit his first Test double ton before England bowled out India in the opening session after the hosts started the day on 336-6.
He stood out for India with a marathon knock that single-handedly powered the Indian innings, where the next best score was 34.
The 22-year-old moved from his overnight 179 and smashed spinner Shoaib Bashir for a six and four to get past 200.
He removed his helmet, jumped with joy and blew kisses to a weekend crowd that rose for a standing ovation.
He was the third-youngest Indian player to ever score a Test double-ton.
Veteran pace bowler James Anderson, 41, finally got Jaiswal out for his third wicket.
Bashir and fellow spinner Rehan Ahmed took three wickets each.
India will resume with a 171-run lead on 0-28, with Jaiswal 15* and Rohit Sharma 13*.
