India vs England day 3 in stats featuring Jasprit Bumrah's record-setting day
India vs England: Jasprit Bumrah continued his record-breaking spree in Test whites as he spearheaded India's overseas pace bowling in yet another innings with his 14 five-wicket haul at Leeds on Sunday. Bumrah's 5/83 effort ensured that England were bundled out for 465 in their first innings, handing India only a slender six-run lead after his pace partners Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna endured their worst Test outings at Headingley. India's pace spearhead also scaled new heights in terms of sheer performance of Test bowlers at their peaks, catching up with the primes of Pakistani legends Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. Here are the top stats and records from India vs England Day 3's play at Leeds: 150 – Jasprit Bumrah became the 30th bowler to record 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (including home bowlers). Only Vernon Philander (20.84) holds a better average than Bumrah (20.88) in the four countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). 11 – Bumrah equalled R Ashwin (11 in 78 innings) for the most five-wickets hauls in the World Test Championship in only 67 innings. 12 – Bumrah equalled Kapil Dev for the most Test five-fors among Indian bowlers in away Tests. The tally is also the highest by any pacer in the 21st century. 30.9 – Bumrah's strike rate in his last 20 Tests (37 innings) since Jan 2022 for his 103 wickets is the best for any bowler in history in a 20-match sequence, eclipsing Waqar Younis (32.46 for 133 wickets). 15.27 – Bumrah's average in his last 20 Tests is only bettered by Imran Khan (15.12 for 116 wickets between 1981-85) in a 20-match sequence among all Test pacers. 2 – For the first time in 10 years, two India pacers conceded more than 120 runs (Md Siraj 2/122 and Prasidh Krishna 3/128) in the same Test innings. 6.40 – Prasidh Krishna's economy rate is the worst for an India pacer in a Test innings conceding at least 100 runs. Only Lahiru Kumara (6.56 for 0/164) has conceded more runs at a higher economy in a Test innings among fast bowlers.

Who is Yash Vagadia? Yorkshire cricketer substituting Ben Stokes despite not being in England squad in 1st Test vs India
The third day of the ongoing India vs England first Test at Headingly in Leeds saw an unknown face on the field when Yash Vagadia came on as a substitute fielder for home captain Ben Stokes on Sunday. Notably, the 21-year-old Vagadia is not a part of the England squad announced for the first Test against India. The incident occurred early during India's second innings when Stokes went out of the ground after the completion of the seventh over. However, Stokes returned shortly. India were 22/1 in 7.1 overs when Vagadia was caught on camera. Vagadia is a Indian-origin English cricketer who plays club cricket for Yorkshire. A right-handed batter and right-arm medium pacer, Vagadia made his One-Day Cup debut for Yorkshire against Warwickshire in 2024. He first played for Yorkshire at Under-14 level. Thereafter, Vagadia went on to lead Yorkshire's academy and U-18 teams and also signed his first rookie pro contract with Yorkshire in 2022. The same over, he was also named as Yorkshire Academy Player of the Year. Ahead of the first Test, Vagadia along with his Yorkshire teammates Jawad Akhtar and Noah Kelly were named for 12th man duties for the first Test between India and England. Notably, the troika of Akhtar, Kelly and Vagadia aren't a part of England's 14-man squad that was announced for the first Test. "Great to see Yorkshire's own Jawad Akhtar, Noah Kelly & Yash Vagadia sharing 12th man duties for the #ENGvIND Test here at Headingley," Yorkshire County Cricket Club wrote on X on June 20. The sole purpose of adding the rookie cricketers into the England dressing room is to give them an idea on how an international cricket is being played, what are the preparations needed and also allows them to rub shoulders of their seniors and pick their brains.

Tempers flare! Mohammed Siraj loses cool, Harry Brook fires back; tension boils over at Headingley
Mohammed Siraj (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Tensions flared at Headingley on Sunday, June 22, as Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj and England's Harry Brook were involved in a heated on-field exchange during the first Test. The incident unfolded in the 84th over, after Brook smashed two consecutive boundaries off Siraj, prompting the Indian bowler to respond with a fiery spell — and some sharp words. Brook, playing with intent against the second new ball, punished the Indian bowlers who were struggling to extract movement from the pitch. Siraj, in particular, bore the brunt of Brook's aggressive strokeplay. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In response, Siraj delivered a sharp inswinger that troubled Brook and followed it up with a long stare and some verbal aggression. Brook, unfazed, dismissed the confrontation with a wave of his hand and stayed focused on his attacking approach. The England batter had the final say — at least temporarily — when he tore into the next over, hammering 18 runs, including a towering six over long-on, as Siraj searched unsuccessfully for answers. Siraj's overall outing with the ball has been underwhelming in this innings. His only wicket came in the 65th over, when he dismissed England skipper Ben Stokes. His first spell with the new ball on Day 2 lacked consistency, and Sunday's incident added further frustration to his figures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later! [Video] getfittoday Undo This isn't the first time Siraj has found himself in the middle of on-field altercations. During the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he had similar confrontations with Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, incidents that drew fines from the ICC. As for Brook, he continued to dominate, marching into the nineties with a flurry of well-timed strokes. He moved to 99 with a couple off Prasidh Krishna in the 88th over. However, his bid for a home-ground century came to a heartbreaking end just three balls later. Attempting a pull shot, he mistimed it, and Shardul Thakur took a slightly awkward but successful catch at fine leg, denying Brook a ton at Leeds. England's innings ended at 465, giving them a narrow six-run lead over India heading into the second innings of this gripping Test match.
