1st Test: Phenomenal Bumrah Is Best In The World, Can Change The Game: Mark Wood
BBC Test Match Special: England fast bowler Mark Wood believes Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler in the world right now and will certainly prove to be a challenge for the English batters in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. After getting off to a brilliant start on Day One, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant continued to take the fight to English bowlers before overcast conditions came into play. England bowlers led by Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue dismantled the Indian batting order and restricted them from 430/3 to 471 all out.
Due to knee surgery in March, Wood was expected to miss the entire five-match marquee series against India. But on the sidelines of commentating on the ongoing first Test at Headingley for the BBC Test Match Special, Wood revealed he was back at the nets and hopes to return for the final game against India.
The 35-year-old acknowledged how dangerous Bumrah is and knows the Indian quick has the potential to turn the game on its head.
