    Jasprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal were the two key figures in India's victory over an England side that refused to give up till the very end, even as they were dominated every day of the Test by Rohit Sharma led India. Both sides have played richly entertaining cricket and the contest is finely poised as they take a break before the third Test in Rajkot, beginning on February 15.
