India will be hoping Bumrah can replicate his efforts when England bat for a second time in Leeds, with the right-armer likely to only play three of the five Tests across this series as he manages his ongoing back issue.
It is still undecided which Tests Bumrah will sit out during the England series and the 31-year-old admitted he is purely focused on the ongoing contest at Headingley.
“You don’t look at what is going to happen in the future,” Bumrah said.
“You are there in the ground at that moment. You have to do a job. So at that moment I’m trying to assess the wicket. I’m trying to assess what is happening, what are my options, how is the wicket behaving, who’s the batter there, what is he thinking, how do I outsmart him or what do I do?
“I look at all of those things at that moment. I was not thinking about what will happen or how many games I will play. At this moment, focusing on the Test match. When the match is over, think about all these permutations and combinations.”
