The Yorkshire batter, enjoying at his house floor, fell agonisingly in need of 100, however not earlier than irritating India, who dropped him twice.

“Harry Brook played really well. This is a very high-scoring ground, so you need to be very accurate,” Bumrah acknowledged.On the repeated fielding lapses, Bumrah was philosophical: “Dropped catches are part and parcel of the game. No one does it purposely. People will learn from this experience.”

Asked about workload administration, the pacer dismissed issues with trademark calm: “Log bolte rahenge. Ab jaaega, ab jaaega. Mai 10-12 saal se khel raha hoon, IPL khel raha hoon. Jab tak bhagwan ne likha hai khelunga (People will keep talking… I’ll keep playing as long as it’s written by God).”Bumrah added he doesn’t get caught up in external perceptions: “I can’t control aura and all that. I just focus on preparation and ticking my boxes.”With the pitch flattening and India’s lead inching upward, Bumrah quipped cheekily: “As a bowler, I would say ‘jitna dena hai, de do’ (give them [the target] as much as you want).”
