India vs England, Day 4 at Lord’s as it happened: India lose by innings and 159 runs

India went down weakly in the second innings of the second Test match at Lord’s, losing the match by an innings and 159 runs. Having been bowled out for 107 runs in the first innings, the team didn’t fare much better in the second innings scoring only 130. Indian top-order failed to perform yet again and like in the first innings off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was the top scorer with 33. To add to India’s worries captain Virat Kohli didn’t look 100% fit on the fourth day of the match and with next match starting on Friday it produces a big dilemma for India. For England James Anderson took nine wickets in the match while Chris Woakes shone with an all round performance in the match. Here are the live updates of India vs England, Day 4:

India vs England, 2nd Test Day 3 at Lord’s as it happened: England in box seat

It was another dismal day for India as England piled on the pressure on a beleaguered visiting side, scoring at a rate of over four runs an over. India started the day well enough to leave England at 131 for 5 but a stupendous sixth wicket partnership of 189 between returning all-rounder Chris Woakes and wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow left India staring down the barrel. Mohammed Shami was the best bowler for India, picking up three wickets while Hardik Pandya scalped two. Both the Indian spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin failed to do anything noteworthy on Day 3 of the Test. India vs England as it happened on Day 3 at Lord’s -

India vs England, Day 2 at Lord’s, highlights: India all out for 107 - as it happened

Rain washed out the play on Day 1 of the first test at Lord’s and it was a similar story on the second day as well. After constant interruptions throughout the day India found themselves in trouble once again against England’s pace battery and were bowled out for 107. James Anderson, who took five wickets, removed both openers while Cheteshwar Pujara was run out. Virat Kohli looked good before he was removed by Chris Woakes. Ravichandran Ashwin was the top scorer for India with 29. India will have to do really well with the ball to have any chance in the match.
