India made history on Monday as they beat England by 151 runs in the second Test to triumph at the Lord’s Cricket Ground after seven years in red-ball cricket. Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, and Mohammed Shami swung the match in India’s favor on the final day to help the visitors register only their third Test win at the Home of Cricket and first after the famous 2014 triumph under MS Dhoni.
With about a half-hour left of a fractious day featuring regular verbal clashes between players. India had declared their second innings on 298-8 just after lunch to set England 272 to win in 60 overs.
Mohammed Siraj finished as the standout bowler with 4 wickets while Bumrah grabbed 3 for 33. Ishant Sharma finished with 2 wickets and Shami got 1 as Indian fast bowlers bowled England out for the second time in succession to register the nation’s 7th Test win in England.
Shami and Bumrah stunned the English fast bowlers with their batting technique as both tail-enders applied themselves perfectly in tough conditions and against a newish Dukes ball.
They took India’s score from 209 to 294 for 8 by Lunch with Shami having brought up his second Test half-century. He hit a four-off James Anderson right after play began and that’s when Kohli decided to declare the innings in the middle of the 110th over with India reached 298 for 8.
Shami remained unbeaten on his best-ever Test score of 56 while Bumrah remained not out on 34 as India set England a target of 272 runs to win thanks to their highest 9th-wicket partnership against England in the United Kingdom.
Bumrah then struck the killer blow on England with the wicket of Root for 33 in the first over of the final session The two sides drew the first Test at Trent Bridge earlier this month after the final day was washed out. The players will now enjoy a short break before regrouping for the third match of the 5-Test series at Leeds from August 25.
