Overpitched on the stumps, carved out to mid on.

Nasty delivery! Slams the pitch really hard, does Bumrah, on the bodyline. Gus Atkinson takes his eyes off the ball as he goes for the pull shot, but the ball whistles above his angled bat. Grazes the top of the helmet and lobs behind to deep third for a leg bye.
