The YouTuber will also be fined for his actions as the Yorkshire County Cricket Club is treating this as a case of a security breach.&nbsp;

"Yes, Daniel Jarvis will be banned from Headingley for life. We will also be imposing a financial penalty," a Yorkshire CCC spokesperson told PTI when asked how the county deals with this kind of transgression.

The spokesperson were also asked on what measures will be taken in order to avoid such intrusions, to which he replied: "As on previous days, there will be stewards present around there to stop anyone that attempts to get on."

The incident took place after Rohit Sharma's dismissal. Jarvo breached the security and entered the pitch all padded up and with a bat. However, he was escorted out by security officials after being spotted, but he stayed long enough to get some reaction on social media.

Several netizens reacted to the incident. While many laughed at his actions during the match, there were few who questioned the security and were not impressed with him standing on the pitch.&nbsp;

Even Ravichandran Ashwin tweeted: "Today’s play was as good as it can get with @ImRo45 @cheteshwar1 @imVkohli and Jaarvo showing great intent and grit! Keep going fellas and stop doing this Jaarvo. #IndvsEng".&nbsp;

Team India fan 'Jarvo 69' banned for life from Headingly, confirms English county

England have managed to equal the five-match series (1-1) against India after handing the visitors a crushing defeat in the third Test match that was played at Headingly, Leeds.&nbsp;

The Men in Blue were expected to continue their resistance from Day 3. They kicked off Day 4 with a trail of 139 runs and 8 wickets in hand.&nbsp;

Kohli and Pujara were expected to build on the 99-run partnership they had during Day 3. However, Pujara got out without adding any runs on the scoreboard.&nbsp;

Skipper Virat Kohli soon followed Pujara towards the dugout, shortly after scoring a half-century. India witnessed a batting collapse. From 215/2, they&nbsp;were bowled out for 278 runs in the second innings, thus handing an innings and 76 runs victory to the hosts.&nbsp;

Except for the third day, England dominated the match from the very first day, when they bundled India out for just 78 runs. England captain Joe Root scored his third consecutive ton in the series and guided hosts to a mammoth 432 runs, taking a lead of 354 runs.&nbsp;

Winning captain Joe Root was overjoyed with the win and during the post-match presentation, he said: "It was a fantastic and clinical performance from the bowlers. The two big lads put loads of pressure with three maidens, and we had a really good opportunity to take wickets and we took them ruthlessly."

"We controlled and hung in with the new ball, and we reaped the rewards. Anderson churns out performances like that and that's why he's the GOAT of Test cricket," he added.&nbsp;

Both teams will now head into the penultimate Test match of the series and will play each other at the Oval.

Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant was asked to take off the taping between the fourth and fifth finger of his keeping glove on day two of the third Test between England and India. The incident happened shortly before the start of the final session of the day. 
 
The MCC laws do not permit wicketkeepers to tape the fourth and fifth fingers on the glove. Umpire Alex Wharf was in conversation with Pant along with captain Virat Kohli. After that, Pant along with Kohli started to remove the brown taping from the gloves with third umpire Richard Kettleborough watching on. 
 
Law 27.2.1 of MCC Laws of cricket says, "If, as permitted under 27.1, the wicketkeeper wears gloves, they shall have no webbing between the fingers except joining index finger and thumb, where webbing may be inserted as a means of support." 
 
Former England captain Nasser Hussain, who was on commentary duties at that time, offered an explanation for the happenings on the field. 
 
"There`s a lot in the laws of the game about the webbing, but we`re hearing from the third umpire, Richard Illingworth, that he wasn`t allowed and he`s not allowed to tape his gloves like that, so they`ve asked him to take that tape off." 
 
His co-commentator David Lloyd asked for Dawid Malan to be recalled as Pant had taken his catch off Mohammed Siraj with the taping on the gloves. But there is nothing in the laws of the game that could reverse Malan`s dismissal on 70 in the 94th over. 
 
At stumps on day two, England were 423/8 and lead by 345 runs with Craig Overton (24 not out) and Ollie Robinson (zero not out) at the crease.

India vs England: Rishabh Pant asked to remove taping on keeping gloves

Virat Kohli surprised many when he won the toss and opted to bat first during the third Test against England. Several cricketing experts questioned Virat's decision.

However, the decision turned out to be a poor one as Team India was bundled out for 78 runs, making it the third-lowest total against England.&nbsp;

Now, former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq believes India should have opted to bowl after winning the toss.

“(England are) a team that you had defeated some days before. In the fourth innings, on a dry pitch, you made them absolutely flat. You destroyed their batting. If you have won the toss here, put them into bat again," Inzamam said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel 'The Match Winner'.

“With the advantage of two hours (of moisture), I won’t say that England would have been all out for 78, but they wouldn’t have scored big," he added.

“The Indian batters never put any pressure (on the bowlers). As a cricketer, whatever the nature of the pitch is, whether there is swing or spin, if you have played 25-30 balls, your eyes, your eye coordination, your hand coordination, all these get accustomed to the pitch.

"You have to take some chances after that. Like Rohit Sharma, he played 105 balls. You can’t say that you are not set after playing 105 balls. You have to take responsibility and you have to play your strokes.

“Virat Kohli too played 31 balls. But what did he do? He made 7 runs, and he was completely tied up," he signed off.

'Indian players never put any pressure': Inzamam-Ul-Haq questions Kohli's decision to bat first

An incident, involving the crowd, took place during the third Test match between India and England which left skipper Virat Kohli visibly annoyed. According to Rishabh Pant, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj had a ball thrown at him from the crowd.

In the post-day press conference following the first day's play, Pant was asked why Kohli looked upset at what the crowd was saying. "I think, somebody threw a ball inside, at Siraj, so he [Kohli] was upset," Pant said. "You can say whatever you want to chant, but don't throw things at the fielders and all those things. It is not good for cricket, I guess."

However, it is not clear what kind of ball was thrown at Siraj and it is not sure if it was deliberate or not. Team India also have not filed an official complaint.&nbsp;

This is not the first time in this series where such incidents involving the crowd took place. In the second Test, Indian opener KL Rahul was seen throwing back a champagne cork that was hurled at him by a section of the crowd.&nbsp;

In 2016, the MCC published a newsletter admitting concerns around flying corks and urging the crowd to refrain from such actions.&nbsp;

"In recent times the practice of some members and other spectators opening bottles of champagne in such a way as to allow corks to be projected on to the outfield has been criticised," the letter read.

"Any items which are aimed at the playing area may cause a potential hazard to fieldsmen, and this point has been made formally to the club. Lord's is now the only ground into which members and ticket holders are allowed to bring alcohol, and in order for this arrangement to continue it is important that all members, their guests and other spectators refrain from the practice that has been described."

"I think, somebody threw a ball inside, at Siraj, so he [Kohli] was upset," Pant said. "You can say whatever you want to chant, but don't throw things at the fielders and all those things. It is not good for cricket, I guess." However, it is not clear what kind of ball was thrown at Siraj and it is not sure if it was deliberate or not. Team India also have not filed an official complaint. This is not the first time in this series where such incidents involving the crowd took place. In the second Test, Indian opener KL Rahul was seen throwing back a champagne cork that was hurled at him by a section of the crowd. In 2016, the MCC published a newsletter admitting concerns around flying corks and urging the crowd to refrain from such actions. "In recent times the practice of some members and other spectators opening bottles of champagne in such a way as to allow corks to be projected on to the outfield has been criticised," the letter read. "Any items which are aimed at the playing area may cause a potential hazard to fieldsmen, and this point has been made formally to the club. Lord's is now the only ground into which members and ticket holders are allowed to bring alcohol, and in order for this arrangement to continue it is important that all members, their guests and other spectators refrain from the practice that has been described."

India vs England 2021, 3rd Test: Pitch conditions at Headingly, Leeds weather report and stats

Jasprit Bumrah played a crucial role in India's win at the Lord's in the second Test against England. He revealed that he gave this performance after getting riled up after exchanging heated words with England players.&nbsp;

Now, Bumrah talked about how the heated exchange between England and Indian players began. "As soon as the game got over and the day got over, some of the words were exchanged and we were really not happy. The exchanges were not pleasant. When I heard what was said, I really got riled up. Because if something comes up...I'll give it 10 times up," Bumrah told Karthik on Sky Sports.&nbsp;

Bumrah's reaction came after Anderson reacted to facing a barrage of bouncers against the Indian pacer during the second Test.&nbsp;

“I got caught off guard a little bit because all the batters coming in were saying how slow the pitch was. Banged in short; it was really slow. When I came out to bat, Joe said Bumrah was not bowling as quick as he normally does," said Anderson on Tailenders podcast.&nbsp;

“And then, the first ball was 90 miles an hour and on the money, wasn’t it? And it felt like, I haven’t felt like this ever in my career. I felt he wasn’t trying to get me out,” he added.

Stunned by Bumrah's spell, Anderson was fired up when the former came out to bat during India's second innings at Lord's, with Team India reduced to 209-8 with the overall lead being only 182 on Day 5. However, Bumrah-Mohammed Shami's unbeaten 89-run ninth-wicket stand, and Mohammed Siraj's 4-fer during England's run-chase, enabled India's 151-run win at Lord's.

The second Test match between India vs England at Lord's had a thrilling finish. England were favourites to win the Test match after they dismissed Rishabh Pant early on Day 5. However, a record 9th wicket partnership of 89 runs between Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah helped Team India stage a comeback in the match.&nbsp;

The unbeaten partnership between Bumrah and Shami powered India to 298 for 8. When they declared, the Men in Blue were in a comfortable position with a massive lead of 272 runs.&nbsp;

The hosts, in reply, were bundled out for 120, losing the game by 151 runs and giving India a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.&nbsp;

Now, former England captain Michael Vaughan has questioned head coach Chris Silverwood for his lack of intervention in the first session of the final day.&nbsp;

“The nadir came in that hour and 20 minutes before lunch on the fifth day of the second Test, which must rank among the worst stuff I’ve seen from an England Test team in years. Plenty has been written and said about how England lost the plot in attempting to bounce out Jasprit Bumrah, and Joe Root was undeniably let down by some of his senior players who should have intervened with him sooner, but I also wanted to see something from the coach,” Michael Vaughan wrote on his Facebook page.

“Why was Silverwood not sending someone out onto the pitch with a drink, asking Root what the hell was going on and getting him to change tactics? I know that is what Duncan Fletcher would have done with me had I suffered a brain-fade on the field.

“Every Test match essentially boils down to a handful of moments which dictate the outcome: the best teams rise to them and find a way to win them. This was the big moment in the second Test and England blew it, and Silverwood has to take his share of responsibility for that,” he added.

“He (Chris Silverwood) has to show that he is capable of changing England’s momentum in this series, because at the moment it is only going one way and that is in the direction of Virat Kohli, who has his hosts right where he wants them - hot under the collar, not thinking straight and making silly mistakes,” Michael Vaughan added.

Former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan was mighty impressed with Jasprit Bumrah's performance with the ball during the second Test against England at Lord's. After going wicketless in the first innings, Bumrah bounced back and scalped three crucial wickets in the second innings.&nbsp;

Khan was impressed by the way Bumrah bowled to Anderson in the first innings. The Indian pacer bowled several bouncers in the over against Anderson. The duo also got into a heated verbal banter.&nbsp;

"If by getting angry, he can carry himself and perform like this, I believe he should at times needle the opposition. See, in the first innings, he had gone wicketless and being the class bowler that he is, I’m sure it must have bothered him," Zaheer said on Cricbuzz.

"After that, the whole Anderson episode that unfolded, the bouncers he bowled to him and then while batting, the manner in which the England pacer went after him… all those things motivated him, and he channelised that anger in the right way. England must be thinking ‘we should have let Bumrah bowl bouncers’ and not mess with him. The intensity with which he bowled, was worth praising."

"Bowling a slower ball is challenging, but to bowl it from round the wicket, from that angle to get a batsman out LBW, you need bowl from close to the wicket, which is never easy. Bumrah did a very tough job. The thought process was excellent. When you’re coming round the wicket, even the batsman is thinking ‘they might use the bouncer more’. To bring out that kind of variation and to have that thinking to get that wicket, Bumrah was fabulous," he mentioned.

India registered a win in the second Test of the five-match series against England taking a lead of 1-0.

Now, Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed that was set to play the match but there was a change at the last minute that resulted in him sitting out of the match.&nbsp;

In his YouTube show, 'Kutti Story', Ashwin said: "The funny thing was, before the match, they were like, 'There's a heatwave. You please be ready mate. You might play.' Upon coming to breakfast in the morning, rains started lashing out. I asked, 'Won't you tell me about heatwave after it came? Why gave me hope only for it to end in disappointment'."

Even skipper Kohli mentioned that Ashwin was the part of the game plan for the second Test. "We announced 12 within the group and Ashwin definitely was part of that. But after looking at the pitch, the conditions, and considering how a fourth seamer can be an attacking option, this makes the most sense for us as a team," the India skipper had said.

During the match, several heated arguments between both teams included players like Virat Kohli, James Anderson, Mark Wood, Jaspreet Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj took place. Umpires were constantly seen calming several situations down during the match.&nbsp;

However, former England batsman Nick Compton is not impressed with the language Virat Kohli uses. In an interview with Sportskeeda, Compton said that Kohli’s way is to get very abusive.&nbsp;

"I do agree (others do it as well). (James) Anderson's got his ways. It's not just Kohli, I am not saying that. But his language is quite excessive. Anderson will do things in a different way. Kohli’s way is to get very abusive. He has got a good array of swear words that he uses. We don’t want to throw stones on this player and that player, otherwise we get into a big argument," Compton told SportsKeeda.

“Indian players must give it back (to England). I am not saying they shouldn’t be aggressive. I think (Ravindra) Jadeja has got that in him. I think that you do get a good mixture within the team. There are different ways to being aggressive. Kohli can probably do it in a more intelligent way, without having these abusive fights. Sometimes the best way is to say nothing and go out there and get a hundred," he added.

“I think we should let it go on. We need some theatre and entertainment. We need characters in the game, Kohli is a character. He brings a lot to cricket. I am a real admirer of him as a player. His leadership is sometimes overemotional. But I think he has brought a lot to cricket. It is important that characters are brought in. You don’t want the match referee stepping in every time everyone says something. Otherwise, the game just becomes over-governed. It becomes like naughty school children in the playground. These are adults, these are international professional cricketers.

"A bit of banter, there's definitely a place to use that. It just needs to be done in the right way. Kohli's got to realise that he is an inspiration to other young players. Using foul-mouthed language, I don't think it is necessary," he signed off.

Earlier, Compton had tweeted that 'Kohli is the most fouled mouthed individual'.&nbsp;

In a tweet, that was later deleted, Compton said: "Isn't Kohli the most foul mouthed individual. I'll Never forget the barrage of abuse I received in 2012 when the swearing stunned me to the point that he did himself a serious disservice.

Sharma is playing his first-ever Test series on English soil and has scored 36, 12*, 83, and 21 in the last two Tests. Tendulkar said Rohit has 'taken the lead and he has shown the other side of his temperament and how he can change his game'.&nbsp;

“Whatever I have seen, I feel he has taken the lead and he has shown the other side of his temperament and how he can change his game and adapt to situations and play accordingly,” Sachin told PTI.

However, Rohit Sharma is yet to score a big Test match century in overseas conditions. The opener has shown quite some form in Test matches for India. Sharma played a crucial role in the famous Australia series, earlier this year. He also contributed mammoth runs for India in the home series against England earlier this year.&nbsp;

Sachin went on to call Rohit Sharma a leader in the match and lauded KL Rahul's support.&nbsp;

“He has been a leader there and KL has supported him brilliantly. As far as playing pull shot is concerned, he has cleared the fence with that shot and I am looking at what he has been able to achieve for the team in both Tests,” Sachin added.

“Rohit has left the ball and defended the ball brilliantly or equally well. He was always a fantastic player but seeing his last few innings in England, I can say he has definitely gone a notch higher,” he said.

Indian opener Rohit Sharma has impressed many, including the legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, with his batting display in the ongoing Test series against England.

Virat Kohli was dismissed at 20 runs and missed out on a big score. He found an edge off Sam Curran's delivery and gave an easy catch to Jos Buttler.&nbsp;

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan talked about Kohli's struggles in England and pointed out the places where the batsman can improve.&nbsp;

“Really good bowling, not good batting. Virat Kohli is a better player than that. When he had success in English conditions, he was knowing exactly where his off-stump is. His trigger movement goes over to the off-stump and he knows where it is," he said on BBC's Test Match Special podcast.

“So far in this series, I just wonder whether he lost his off-stump because he is going over quite a long way and his head is going with him because of that, I think he thinks his off-stump is around the fourth and fifth stump line. He needs to get back into alignment," Vaughan added.

“He played at a wide ball from the pavilion end and you would think, that’s exactly where England want you to be Virat. They are going to bowl the fifth stump, full of length. And they want him to throw his hands at the ball as he did today," he signed off.

India may not have had an ideal start to the second innings, but had the best finish to it. After an 89-run stand between Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, India declared with a lead of 271 runs.&nbsp;

In reply, England lost their openers in first two overs itself.&nbsp;

'It was not deliberate': India batting coach after England accused of ball tampering

India batting coach Vikram Rathour on Sunday said Rohit Sharma needs to be a "little more selective" with his shots after the opener fell to a pull shot for the second time in the Test series against England.

"There will be analysis, of course every-time they get out, we will be having a talk, what happened and what they were thinking while batting or while they played that shot,"&nbsp;Rathour said at the virtual post-day press conference after the fourth day's play.

India in their second innings were at 181/6 when stumps were drawn on day four, leading by 154 runs.

"As far Rohit is concerned, I think he has made it clear that that is the shot which fetches him runs, that is the shot where he gets runs with, so he is going to play those shots and we are backing him to play those shots, only thing he needs to do is to be a little-more selective, with what to play and when to play".

According to Rathour, skipper Virat Kohli, who was dismissed on 20, was undone by a lapse in concentration.

"Kohli, I don't think there was any issue, it was just a lapse in concentration today, where his bat went to the ball, which he shouldn't have played and nothing more, I don't think anything old (is) coming back,"&nbsp;the batting coach said.

Rathour said that the team needs to set a target close to the 200-run mark.

"You are right, this will be a typical fifth-day wicket of a Test match, where the ball will go up and down and is also turning, like we saw. So, again like I said earlier, if we can take the target near 200 runs, then it won't be easy for England,"&nbsp;he said.

"Like (Ravindra) Jadeja bowled in the first innings, he was accurate, if he gets a turn from there, he can create problems for the batsmen, and our pace attack is bowling well.

"If the ball stays up and down, like we are seeing when the ball is hard, then, if we can add 30-40 runs more and take 1-2 early England wickets, then there will be pressure on them,"&nbsp;he added.

“You swearing at me again are you? This isn’t your fu**ing backyard,” Kohli hit back at the pacer's comments. Anderson still continued after the fifth ball to which Kohli replied: "Chirp chirp chirp. This is what old age makes you."

'This isn’t your backyard': Virat Kohli and James Anderson engage in verbal spat - WATCH

England captain Joe Root continued his dream run with an artistic 22nd hundred to ensure a morale-boosting first-innings lead as the second Test against India is poised for an interesting finish in the next couple of days.

Root (180 not out), who scored his second successive hundred of this series, took England from a position of weakness to strength with the first innings total of 391 after India scored 364 in their first essay.

More than the quantum of lead which stands at 27 currently, it is the psychological advantage that England gained after a poor first day which will put them in good stead as their bowlers would go flat out to dismiss the low on confidence Indian middle-order cheaply on the fourth day.

En route his 321-ball knock, Root became the first England captain to hit five hundreds in a season and also complete a personal milestone of 9000 Test runs while clinically annihilating the Indian attack which has till now failed to crack the 'Root Code'. If these records were not enough, he is also now the first English captain with six 150 plus scores, a testimony to his knack of hitting 'Daddy Hundreds'. His sequence of scores now reads 64, 109, 180* in this series.

What makes him more special is the fact that he had made an attack, which otherwise gave a decent account of themselves, looks pedestrian with his counter-punches that included 18 boundaries. Mohammed Siraj (30-7-94-4) had the most number of wickets but bowled too many boundary balls in that first session along with Mohammed Shami (26-3-94-2), who would like to forget this innings in a hurry.

Old workhorse Ishant Sharma (24-4-69-3) once again did his part but at times looked tired in his later spells although the in-cutter that cleaned up Jos Buttler (23) would be any pacer's dream.

But England batting was all about Root and how he controlled the narrative with superb technique and the sublime range of strokes on the off-side. Unlike India's tour of 2018, Root has now a reduced backfoot trigger movement and the front-foot rather than going across the off-stump moves a shade towards middle-stump.

This slight tweak gives more chance of playing the drives through the off-side. Jonny Bairstow (57 off 107 balls) did help him with a 121 run stand for the fourth wicket as the first session was a virtual nightmare for Indian bowlers.

Root's gameplan actually upset India's strategy as the first hour on third morning produced 54 runs with a flurry off boundaries coming off Siraj and Shami. Kohli's decision to not start with Ishant or Bumrah first-up didn't help the cause as runs leaked easily in the form of cover and square drives and along with the whip through mid-wicket region.

It did help that the pitch was best for batting on the third day and Root wasn't going to let the chance of making merry go abegging on a sunny Saturday.

As many as 97 and 98 runs were scored in first two sessions, signalling the plight of the Indian bowling attack. Root started the first session with a square drive off Siraj to reach his third successive fifty plus score in the series.

After a wicketless first session, India did enjoy some good moments when Siraj got Bairstow with a bumper and Ishant bowled Buttler but Moeen Ali was again given loose balls on platter as England closed in on the lead.

From 341 for 5, there was another lower-order slump which had England at 358 for 8 before Root played a flick off Siraj to give his team the lead. And as if to celebrate, he played a reverse ramp shot off Siraj and then smote over mid-wicket to increase India's miseries.

England captain Joe Root continued his dream run with an artistic 22nd hundred to ensure a morale-boosting first-innings lead as the second Test against India is poised for an interesting finish in the next couple of days.

England captain Joe Root continued his dream run with an artistic 22nd hundred to ensure a morale-boosting first-innings lead as the second Test against India is poised for an interesting finish in the next couple of days. Root (180 not out), who scored his second successive hundred of this series, took England from a position of weakness to strength with the first innings total of 391 after India scored 364 in their first essay. More than the quantum of lead which stands at 27 currently, it is the psychological advantage that England gained after a poor first day which will put them in good stead as their bowlers would go flat out to dismiss the low on confidence Indian middle-order cheaply on the fourth day. En route his 321-ball knock, Root became the first England captain to hit five hundreds in a season and also complete a personal milestone of 9000 Test runs while clinically annihilating the Indian attack which has till now failed to crack the 'Root Code'. If these records were not enough, he is also now the first English captain with six 150 plus scores, a testimony to his knack of hitting 'Daddy Hundreds'. His sequence of scores now reads 64, 109, 180* in this series. What makes him more special is the fact that he had made an attack, which otherwise gave a decent account of themselves, looks pedestrian with his counter-punches that included 18 boundaries. Mohammed Siraj (30-7-94-4) had the most number of wickets but bowled too many boundary balls in that first session along with Mohammed Shami (26-3-94-2), who would like to forget this innings in a hurry. Old workhorse Ishant Sharma (24-4-69-3) once again did his part but at times looked tired in his later spells although the in-cutter that cleaned up Jos Buttler (23) would be any pacer's dream. But England batting was all about Root and how he controlled the narrative with superb technique and the sublime range of strokes on the off-side. Unlike India's tour of 2018, Root has now a reduced backfoot trigger movement and the front-foot rather than going across the off-stump moves a shade towards middle-stump. This slight tweak gives more chance of playing the drives through the off-side. Jonny Bairstow (57 off 107 balls) did help him with a 121 run stand for the fourth wicket as the first session was a virtual nightmare for Indian bowlers. Root's gameplan actually upset India's strategy as the first hour on third morning produced 54 runs with a flurry off boundaries coming off Siraj and Shami. Kohli's decision to not start with Ishant or Bumrah first-up didn't help the cause as runs leaked easily in the form of cover and square drives and along with the whip through mid-wicket region. It did help that the pitch was best for batting on the third day and Root wasn't going to let the chance of making merry go abegging on a sunny Saturday. As many as 97 and 98 runs were scored in first two sessions, signalling the plight of the Indian bowling attack. Root started the first session with a square drive off Siraj to reach his third successive fifty plus score in the series. After a wicketless first session, India did enjoy some good moments when Siraj got Bairstow with a bumper and Ishant bowled Buttler but Moeen Ali was again given loose balls on platter as England closed in on the lead. From 341 for 5, there was another lower-order slump which had England at 358 for 8 before Root played a flick off Siraj to give his team the lead. And as if to celebrate, he played a reverse ramp shot off Siraj and then smote over mid-wicket to increase India's miseries.

This is KL Rahul's third consecutive 50-plus score in Test matches in England. His 129 runs powered India to a massive total of 364 runs in the first innings. Inzamam was impressed with Rahul's centuries that came away from home.&nbsp;

"If we talk about KL Rahul, five of his six Test centuries have come away from home. This is second in England and he has scored a century in Australia as well. Very rarely do we see batsmen with such performances. Very few batsmen have such a record where their initial 8-10 centuries are away from home," Inzamam said on his YouTube channel.

"You might have seen plenty of players with away centuries, but usually they score their first set of hundreds at home, gain experience and then score away. However, KL Rahul's system is the opposite."

The former Pak skipper lauded Rahul for his confidence while playing.&nbsp;

"The confidence with which he is playing is great to watch. Even in the first Test, where he scored 84, it was more crucial than anyone else. He helped India gain the lead and played a huge role. So huge congratulations to KL Rahul," added Inzamam.

Rain played a spoilsport in the first Test between India and England. Virat and Co. were close to taking a lead of 1-0 in the five-match series, but the heavy downpour on Day 5 ended the match in a draw.

<h2>Now, let's take a look at the Pitch Report, weather report and the probable playing XI of the two teams:&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Pitch Report:&nbsp;</h2>

The wicket at Lord's ought to be a pretty adjusted one, however, it's the least demanding for the hitters in the first innings. Seam bowlers will get a lot of help from the wicket, with great bounce. The spinners should become an integral factor on Days 4 and 5 once the pitch begins to get old. The fast bowlers could likewise benefit from the slant at Lord's.&nbsp;

<h2>Weather forecast:&nbsp;</h2>

London is set to witness cloudy conditions for the next five days. Luckily, no rain is predicted on the first three days. Day 4 might witness a light drizzle but the play can be expected to take place on the day, whereas, Day 5 is partially cloudy which means the people could witness a rare sight of the sun shining upon them.&nbsp;

<h2>Probable XI:&nbsp;</h2>

As stated earlier, spinners are likely to become a crucial part of the match on Day 4 and 5. India might bring in the very experienced Ravichandran Ashwin in place of injured Shardul Thakur or might stick with pacers and bring in the veteran pacer Ishant Sharma. England, on the other hand, witnessed a major blow after Stuart Broad was ruled out of the entire series, they might bring in Moeen Ali&nbsp;as a spin option alongside skipper Joe Root. Mark Wood is most likely to replace injured Broad.&nbsp;&nbsp;

England:&nbsp;Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Haseeb Hameed, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood, James Anderson

India:&nbsp;Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin/Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

Cricket - India vs England, 2nd Test: Weather forecast, Pitch conditions, Probable XI

India opening batters Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul registered a 126-run opening stand against England on the opening day of the ongoing second Test here at the Lord`s Cricket Ground on Thursday.

This is the first time that India`s opening batters have put on more than 100 runs in a Test played outside Asia since 2011. This is also the highest first-innings opening partnership for India at Lord`s since 1952. Rohit was not able to get to the three-figure mark as he was sent back to the pavilion by England pacer James Anderson. At the tea break, India`s score is 157/2 with Rahul (55*) and Virat Kohli (0*) unbeaten at the crease.

After the lunch break, Rohit and Rahul continued from where they left and brought up the 100-run opening stand in the 33rd over of the innings. Rohit was the aggressor of the two and was marching ahead to another century in the longest format.

However, he was not able to register a century as he was sent back to the pavilion by James Anderson in the 44th over and this brought an end to the 126-run opening partnership. Rohit got out after scoring 83 runs. This brought Cheteshwar Pujara (9) to the middle and he once again failed to get going and was dismissed by Anderson. In the end, Kohli and Rahul ensured that India entered the tea break with eight wickets in hand.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul brought out their A-game to the middle as the visitors went into the lunch break without losing a single wicket. At the lunch break, India`s score read 46/0 with Rohit (35*) and Rahul (10*) unbeaten at the crease.

The first session saw few interruptions due to rain and only 18.4 overs were bowled in the session. Earlier, Joe Root-led England won the toss and opted to bowl and the home team skipper made no bones about the fact that he wanted to make use of the overcast conditions to put pressure on India. But Rohit and Rahul ensured India has a solid foundation.&nbsp;

Thakur sustained an injury on his left hamstring and was ruled out of the Test and Ashwin was considered as the main bowler who would replace him, but the team went ahead with Ishant Sharma.&nbsp;

Indian skipper Virat Kohli explained the reason behind it.&nbsp;

“We announced 12 within the group and Ashwin definitely was part of that. But after looking at the pitch, the conditions and considering how a fourth seamer can be an attacking option, this makes the most sense for us as a team,” Kohli said at the toss when asked about the reasons for not picking Ashwin.

Earlier, Skipper Kohli had mentioned in the pre-match press conference that they will not be looking for an extra batting option while replacing Thakur.&nbsp;

“Everyone wants to contribute, it's about getting into the game as a batsman. We just need to get the job done, whoever it is, that's our main focus. Especially with crowds back in, it's a pleasure to be here. An honour to play in front of crowds for what should be a cracker,” Kohli said.

"He will have a scan on Wednesday to determine the extent of his injury."

According to a report in The Guardian, Broad twisted his right ankle after slipping "while undertaking a light warm-up jog."

Cricket - Stuart Broad suffers injury ahead of 2nd Test against India: Reports

England and India on Wednesday were fined 40 per cent of their match fees and penalised two ICC World Test Championship points each for maintaining slow over-rates in the first Test in Nottingham.

Chris Broad of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanctions after both sides were ruled to be two overs short of their targets after time allowances were taken into consideration.

In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

In addition, as per Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short.

Captains Joe Root and Virat Kohli pleaded guilty and accepted the proposed sanctions, so there was no need for formal hearings.

On-field umpires Michael Gough and Richard Kettleborough, third umpire Richard Illingworth and fourth umpire David Millns levelled the charges.

The first Test between India and England ended in a draw after rain played spoilsport on the final day of the Test. The visitors looked set for victory, needing 157 runs to win on the final day, with nine wickets in hand, but the weather gods had something else in mind.

England and India will now lock horns in the second Test beginning Thursday at the Lord`s Cricket Ground.&nbsp;

Cricket - Shardul Thakur suffers hamstring injury, Ashwin or Ishant likely to replace him: Reports

Former cricketer Rahul Dravid, who is known for his outstanding cricketing skills, was recently spotted "teaching" British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis — but not cricket. In a hilarious video, Ellis was seen learning some cricket-related terms and expressions in Kannada from none other than the Indian team's coach.

The caption of the video read, "Cricket expressions in Indian languages part 2. Today, we're down south in Bengaluru. What better teacher than ‘The Coach’ #RahulDravid."&nbsp;

The cricket fever is high in India, considering ongoing India's tour of England for the five-match Test series and also the upcoming high-octane events like the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

Dravid recently returned after coaching the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour, where the team won the One-Day International series 2-1 but lost the T20I series after several Indian players were dropped due to testing positive for COVID-19 in the last two matches.&nbsp;

Now, it looks like he has taken his role of cricket coach to the next step — A Kannada teacher.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Alex Ellis tweeted the video in which he said, "England and India are playing each other and I am on the hunt for the best Indian cricket expressions. We have come to Bangalore and we have come to one of the greatest players to have played the game and he's going to teach me and you one phrase in the language of the state - Kannada."&nbsp;
