London: India's Nitish Kumar Reddy upstaged the returning Jasprit Bumrah by taking two wickets in an over to rock England in the third Test at Lord's on Thursday.

England were 83-2 at lunch on the first day, having won the toss and decided to bat, with Reddy dismissing openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley in his first over on the way to impressive figures of 2-15 in five overs.

Ollie Pope, nearly dismissed first ball, was 12 not out with Joe Root unbeaten on 24.

Much of the pre-match talk had focused on the return of Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler, after he was rested for India's 336-run thrashing of England at

Edgbaston last week that levelled the five-match series at 1-1.
