Jasprit Bumrah: This incident was seen during the 81st over of England’s innings, which was bowled by Akashdeep. After the fourth ball of this over, these insects attacked the stadium. Jasprit Bumrah seemed to be the most troubled by these insects. He was preventing the insects from coming near his face with both hands. Due to this attack, the game was halted for a few minutes. However, after some time the insects calmed down a bit and the game started again.

On the first day of the Lord’s Test, England scored 251 runs for the loss of 4 wickets
The first day’s play in the Lord’s Test has ended. The hosts have scored 251 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Joe Root scored the most runs for England, who returned to the pavilion unbeaten after scoring 99 runs. Apart from him, Ben Stokes is at the crease with an unbeaten 39. England did not have a good start after winning the toss and playing first. Jack Crowley and Ben Duckett flopped once again and were dealt cheaply. Nitish Reddy dismissed both of them and showed them the way to the pavilion.
But after this there was a century partnership between Joe Root and Ollie Pope. This pair was broken by Ravindra Jadeja. He bowled Pope (44) on the very first ball of the second session and sent him to the pavilion. Harry Brook (11) could not do anything special. After the fourth wicket fell, Stokes came on the field to support Root. There has been an unbeaten partnership of 79 runs between the two.
