In what will go down as one of India’s most famous wins, Virat Kohli and Co beat England by 151 runs to win the second Test at Lord’s and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series on Monday.
Chasing 272, England were bowled out for 120 in 51.5 overs with skipper Joe Root top-scoring with 33.
India had 60 overs to bowl out England and the task was made possible by an all-round effort from the pacers. Mohammad Siraj was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets including the final two, but it was a collective effort that saw India produce one of the most remarkable of turnarounds.

Lengthening shadows. Fifth day. Final session. Seven down. Fast bowlers. Close in field. This is the game I fell in love with. Don't care if there are 18 other formats. Just give me this every once in a while. It's a beauty.

Ishu and his captain. The only two guys to go through the agony and humiliation of 2011, the closer fought losses of 2014 and to now taste the wins 10 years later. You both deserve this and much much more ♥️ pic.twitter.com/rJ37G34uah
Remember this time.

Four Indian seamers bowling fire, drawing oohs and aahs every 3rd ball.
Home team on the mat, hopping, missing, just surviving.
The kind of bowling that makes your stomach swoop every ball, that scares you for the batters. Without break.
Lord's '21.
That was a magical game of cricket. Astonishing performance by India today.

There is something quite special about Mohammed Siraj, the son of a Hyderabad auto-rickshaw driver, bowling his side to victory amongst the popping champagne corks of Lord's. What. A. Game. #ENGvIND
— Isabelle Westbury (@izzywestbury) August 16, 2021
India was nowhere in the list of favourites yesterday. It seemed either a draw or an England win… Come day 5 #Lords; the day belonged to India bowlers. Batting, bowling India to victory. Well done team 🥳👏🏻👏🏻😎@BCCI #ENGvIND Superb #Test match win.
