India vs England 5th Test: Anderson trouble India with early wickets

Anderson
gobbled
up
openers
Shubman
Gill
and
Cheteshwar
Pujara
in
the
first
hour
itself
before
the
rain
forced
an
early
stoppage
to
the
proceedings.

Hanuma
Vihari
and
Virat
Kohli
are
at
crease
when
the
lunch
was
taken.

Earlier,
Jasprit
Bumrah
became
the
first
pace-bowling
captain
of
India
since
Kapil
Dev
in
1987.

Bumrah
was
understandably
very
happy.
“It’s
a
good
feeling
(to
be
captain)
and
is
a
big
privilege.
Can’t
get
better
than
this.
Excited
and
looking
forward
to
this.
Very
happy
with
the
preparation.
Wanted
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
and
get
used
to
the
English
conditions,
as
we
came
back
from
T20s.

“Happy
with
the
preparation,
now
it’s
for
the
mental
side
to
take
over.
Four
bowlers
–
myself,
Siraj,
Shardul
and
Shami
along
with
Jaddu
as
the
all-rounder,”
he
said
during
the
toss.

India
head
coach
Rahul
Dravid
said
he
had
a
long
conversation
with
Bumrah
before
handing
over
the
captaincy.

“Just
relax,
we
need
you
more
as
a
bowler
than
as
captain,”
that’s
exactly
what
Dravid
told
the
young
skipper,
after
it
became
clear
that
Rohit
Sharma
won’t
be
available
for
this
game.

“I’ve
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
him
in
the
last
few
days
to
tell
him
to
just
relax.
We
need
you
more
as
bowler
rather
than
as
a
captain,”
Dravid
told
the
official
broadcasters
Sony.

“I
think
he
is
a
very
thoughtful
individual,
understands
the
game
very
well.
Also,
he
commands
the
respect
of
the
team,
which
is
very
important
as
a
leader,”
he
added.

“Bowling
changes,
field
changes
obviously
will
only
get
better
with
time.
It’s
a
new
challenge.
It’s
not
easy
for
a
fast
bowler
to
captain,
he’s
got
to
think
about
his
own
bowling
too.
“Captaincy
is
something
that
you’ll
get
better
at
as
you
do
it
more,”
Dravid
added.
