Roach & Seales yesterday - Shami & Bumrah today. Semantics I know; but thats why I always love the term "lower order batsmen", instead of "tailenders" now. We need to pay bowlers more for helping the batsmen do their job,,,,.

Whatever the result ends up being, this has been a superb Test Match. The sways of momentum towards each team at different points is really what makes Test Cricket so unique & absorbing to watch#ENGvsIND

Memo from #Shami & #Bumrah to the bowling fraternity, all Batsmen need not bowl, but all bowlers have to bat at some point #INDvENG #Lordstest #CricitwithBadri

What a wonderful partnership between Shami and Bumrah. They may not have the best of techniques but from experience i Can say that bowlers have a big heart. And Ishant, Shami and Bumrah have displayed just that today at a decisive stage in the #LordsTest . pic.twitter.com/y72j3BRdpB
Simply adore the fighting spirit of this Indian team. Whether it was Rohit and Rahul on the first day…Pujara and Rahane on Day-4 or Shami and Bumrah right now. Incredible. #EngvInd
