NEW DELHI: Fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was at his devastating best on Friday, producing a sensational spell of 5 for 27 to bowl out South Africa for just 159 on the opening day of the first Test at Eden Gardens. On a two-paced surface offering variable bounce, South Africa looked set for a strong total after winning the toss and reaching 57 for no loss in the 11th over. But the moment Bumrah broke through by removing both openers in quick succession, the visitors’ innings unraveled completely. South Africa went on to lose all ten wickets for just 102 runs, with their middle order crumbling under Bumrah’s unrelenting accuracy and movement off the pitch.
