India's Gritty Bowlers Rally Without Bumrah in Dynamic Test Showdown

In a thrilling display of fast bowling, India's seamers clawed back into the match against England, who were restricted to 215-7 during the second day of the final test at The Oval. Despite the absence of ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian bowlers stepped up to tip the balance back in their favor.

England started the day strongly, but India's persistence saw them rally after an early collapse and England's initial morning charge. With the tourists needing a win to level the series, their bowlers struck crucial blows, leaving England vulnerable before tea with key dismissals.

Siraj and Krishna were instrumental in dismantling the English batting lineup, grounding the team after catching the pivotal wickets of Joe Root and the newcomer Jacob Bethell. England's top order faced a challenging session as the Indian bowlers executed an aggressive and disciplined strategy to keep their series hopes alive.
