Team India pacer registered figures of 5/64 in the first Test helping his side bowl out England for 303 in the second innings.
Team India pacer had his name inscribed on the Trent Bridge honours board in Nottingham for the second time following his five-wicket haul against England in the second innings of the first Test on Saturday. Bumrah registered figures of 5/64 as he helped his side bowl out England for 303 in the second innings, giving his batsmen a 209-run target to chase.
Bumrah had taken a fifer at the same ground last time when India toured England for a five-match Test series returning with the figures of 5/85. And three years later, he had his name inscribed again as the BCCI's official Twitter handles shared the video of the same.

Bumrah after a disappointing show in the World Test Championship (WTC) final has stormed back to his best bowling form in the first match as after taking four wickets in the first innings, Bumrah bettered it with a fifer and made it nine wickets for the match going with his crucial 28 runs off the bat in the first innings.
The 27-year old' wickets column got off the mark with Zak Crawley getting him caught behind. He followed it up with Dom Sibley after lunch. England skipper Joe Root then was the wrecker-in-chief for the hosts scoring his 21st Test century and Bumrah removed him taking his third of the innings.
He dismissed Sam Curran and Stuart Broad in consecutive deliveries to complete his five-wicket haul and rounded up a splendid bowling performance throughout this game.
India were 52/1 at the stumps on Day 4 needing 157 more runs to win the first Test and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
