<p>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;</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>Besides some terrific performances, the second Test between India and England of a five-match series saw plenty of heated on-field verbal exchanges between players from both sides that riled up the already-existing rivalry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The banter between Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah and England's James Anderson remained in the headlines, now, a video of Indian skipper Virat Kohli and bowler Mohammed Siraj has gone viral, which divulges yet another episode from Lord's Test that India won by 151 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jimmy Anderson also exchanged a few words with Bumrah on Day 3 regarding bouncers. When Bumrah bowled some short balls to England pacer while he was batting, one of the bouncers even hit Anderson on his helmet.

<p>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;</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>Sachin went on to call Rohit Sharma a leader in the match and lauded KL Rahul's support.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>The most highlighted was the one between Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah and England's James Anderson. It started on Day 3 when Bumrah bowled some short balls to England's star pacer while he was batting. One of the bouncers even hit Anderson on his helmet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has opened up on what exactly happened between Bumrah and Anderson at Lord's.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During a discussion with India's fielding coach Ramakrishnan Sridhar on his YouTube channel, Ashwin revealed what went wrong and why Anderson was furious.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The thing was, Jimmy was like, 'Hey mate! Why are you bowling so fast? Am I doing the same to you?'. The beauty about that is, looks like Jimmy had told Boom (Bumrah), 'All this while, you were bowling in 80mph; suddenly on seeing me, why are you bowling in 90mph?'," Ashwin said.</p>

<p>"So after the innings, the boys were walking back to the dressing room. Then, Bumrah walked past Jimmy and just patted at him, so as to tell him that it wasn't intentional. We all know Bumrah, he is such a nice guy. So he had gone to talk to him and end the matter, but Jimmy brushed him aside," R Sridhar explained.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Brushing him aside, he told him, "You bowl only 85MPH to the other batters, you are bowling 90mph to me. This is cheating, I won't accept," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ashwin said, "The thing is, Jimmy could have stopped with asking why Bumrah bowled so fast at him. But he also left few words along with that (words that can't be disclosed on the show). That fired the boys up."</p>

<p>"Bumrah said he didn't even know what happened but all of us got together and told him what Anderson said to him and that riled us up," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sridhar also explained the unwritten rule amongst fast bowlers as he said, "Previously, there was this unwritten rule amongst fast bowlers: The fast bowlers club. While one is bowling to the other, thou shall not bowl bouncers, beamers and extremely quicker deliveries. Bowl full ones and get him out. An understanding."</p>

<p>"Now that the club is all gone. That building has been destroyed and now they have even built a new skyscraper there. That club is gone now. Now if you bat, I'll bowl fast at you. If you can, you do too mate! That kind of an attitude," he added.</p>

ALSO READ: Cricket - England announce their squad for the third Test against India "So after the innings, the boys were walking back to the dressing room. Then, Bumrah walked past Jimmy and just patted at him, so as to tell him that it wasn't intentional. We all know Bumrah, he is such a nice guy. So he had gone to talk to him and end the matter, but Jimmy brushed him aside," R Sridhar explained. "Brushing him aside, he told him, "You bowl only 85MPH to the other batters, you are bowling 90mph to me. This is cheating, I won't accept," he added. Ashwin said, "The thing is, Jimmy could have stopped with asking why Bumrah bowled so fast at him. But he also left few words along with that (words that can't be disclosed on the show). That fired the boys up." "Bumrah said he didn't even know what happened but all of us got together and told him what Anderson said to him and that riled us up," he added. × Sridhar also explained the unwritten rule amongst fast bowlers as he said, "Previously, there was this unwritten rule amongst fast bowlers: The fast bowlers club. While one is bowling to the other, thou shall not bowl bouncers, beamers and extremely quicker deliveries. Bowl full ones and get him out. An understanding." "Now that the club is all gone. That building has been destroyed and now they have even built a new skyscraper there. That club is gone now. Now if you bat, I'll bowl fast at you. If you can, you do too mate! That kind of an attitude," he added. India won the second Test to take a 1-0 lead in the series after the first match ended as a draw. India will play the third Test against England at Headingley in Leeds from August 25.

Cricket - England announce their squad for the third Test against India

<p>India's legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar weighed in on Virat Kohli's current form and also spoke about Team India's performance so far in the ongoing Test series against England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India is currently touring to England for a five-match Test series of which the first one ended as a draw and in the second one at Lord's, the Virat-led emerged victorious by 151 runs after a thrilling performance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>KL Rahul smashed a terrific century and Indian pacers impressed with both bat and the ball. However, critics have been talking about Kohli's poor form. In the last two matches of the ongoing series, Kohli scored 0, 42, 20 in the previous three innings he played. Also, Kohli has not scored a century in international cricket in nearly two years.</p>

<p>During an exclusive conversation with PTI, Sachin was asked about Virat's dry spell and what could possibly be the reason behind it — a technical issue or matter of the mind.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The former cricketer said that "Virat hasn't had a great start" and it is the "mind that leads to technical errors" and if the start isn't good the player starts thinking about a lot of things.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Because anxiety levels are high you tend to over compensate your movements. When a batsman isn't in good form you either go too far across or don't move your feet at all," said Sachin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That happens to everyone. Form is also your state of mind along with the body working in harmony," he further added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The "Little Master" also praised Indian opening batsman Rohit Sharma's knock in Lord's Test. She said, "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 the situation and play accordingly."</p>

<p>"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."</p>

<p>"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," Sachin added.&nbsp;</p>

India vs England: Sachin Tendulkar responds to Virat Kohli's poor form

<p>Former Pakistan skipper&nbsp;Salman Butt has praised the&nbsp;Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj for his stunning performance in the ongoing Test series between India and England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the second Test of five-match series, Indian pacers including Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma shared 10 wickets between them to bundle out England for 120 in the final session to go 1-0 up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Besides the experienced bowlers, Siraj in particular impressed with his bowling and also his fierce attitude during the match. It is important to note that he has played just seven Tests so far in his career and has been receiving compliments from cricket stalwarts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, Salman Butt also praised the Indian pacer while speaking in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel. He said that Siraj has a "different attitude and a different output" and the bowler also adds a "different flavour" to this Indian attack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Mohammed Siraj came in and gave it his all. He has a different expression on his face. As an opposition batsman when you look at him, you have to be very good, or rather outstanding, to find it easy against him. It always seems like he will make an impact, whether it is at the start of the innings or towards the end. According to me, in Test cricket, this aggression helps a lot and works," said Butt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He further added, "Siraj has a different attitude and a different output. He adds a different flavour to this Indian attack. No other Indian bowler has such aggression in his body language. Bumrah’s body language and attitude are more like a batsman. He is very calm and cool. Very rarely does he get aggressive."</p>

<p>Virat Kohli's side won the second Test match by 151 runs and during the match, Siraj's "Finger on Lips" celebration, which he did after taking the wicket, also went viral. Responding to the same, the bowler said, "This story is for the haters because they used to say a lot of things about me like he cannot do this and cannot do that. So, I will only let my ball do the talking and hence this is my new style of celebration."</p>

<p>Siraj was also involved in a verbal duel in the first Test match with England's James Anderson. During the third day at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, the England team was trying to get the final wicket that became a bit frustrating for them as the last-wicket stand between Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj accumulated some crucial runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the 84th over, when Anderson was bowling, he said a few words to Siraj. Soon after that, Siraj said something in return and the video of that heated altercation went viral on social media.</p>

'He adds a different flavour to Indian attack': Ex-Pakistan captain praises Mohammed Siraj

<p>An England side reeling from a 151-run defeat by India, and already missing several fast bowlers, could be without Mark Wood for next week's third Test after the express quick injured himself while fielding at Lord's.</p>

<p>Wood landed heavily on his right shoulder while diving headlong into an advertising hoarding when saving a boundary on the fourth evening, but he still bowled at speeds in excess of 93 mph (150 kph) on Monday's last day of the second Test.</p>

<p>There are doubts, however, over whether the Durham paceman, whose career has been blighted by injuries, will be fit to feature at Headingley, with England due to name their squad on Wednesday.</p>

<p>England are already without several seam bowlers in the injured Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes, while all-rounder Ben Stokes is unavailable due to a mental health break.</p>

<p>"The medics are working on him (Wood), we'll find out more in the next couple of days," England coach Chris Silverwood said Tuesday after a crushing loss that left his side 1-0 down in a five-match series following a rain-marred draw at Trent Bridge.</p>

<p>"We will make a decision, along with him and our medics, closer to the time. But if he's not right, he's not right. I certainly won't push him into playing if he tells me he's not right. I will look after him."</p>

<p>But for all Silverwood lauded Wood's "superb effort", many felt he should have taken greater care in the field.</p>

<p>"It was madness," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott in his column for Britain's Daily Telegraph.</p>

<p>"Modern-day cricketers all dive athletically to save runs and the effort is commendable, but it is not worth the risk of injury to a leading bowler," he added.</p>

<p>England, now without a win in their last seven Tests, repeatedly bowled too short at Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah during their unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 89.</p>

<p>The India duo then starred with the ball as England, set a target of 272, were shot out for 120 with 49 balls left in the day.</p>

<p>England's tactics 'crazy'</p>

<p>England's quicks appeared more interested in seeking revenge for the rough treatment number 11 James Anderson received when he batted, rather than dismissing the India tailenders.</p>

<p>"Bouncer after bouncer was crazy," said Boycott. "Emotion got the better of England and common sense went out the window."</p>

<p>England captain Joe Root -- who made a superb 180 not out in the first innings -- blamed himself for his side's tactics, but Silverwood said: "It's a collective and I'm part of that as well.</p>

<p>"We tried to go toe-to-toe with them, but what we could have done better is shift from that tactic back to Plan A, and hitting the top of off."</p>

<p>Silverwood, himself a former England bowler, praised Shami and Bumrah by saying: "I thought they handled the situation really well."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, there was no escaping England's ongoing lack of top-order runs, with a first three of Rory Burns, Dom Sibley&nbsp;and&nbsp;Haseeb Hameed&nbsp;each out for a duck at Lord's.</p>

<p>Only left-handed opener Burns, with a first-innings 49, managed a score of any note.</p>

<p>England may drop Sibley, averaging under 20 in Tests this year, following his duck on Monday.</p>

<p>But it is by no means obvious who would replace him.</p>

<p>Silverwood, now in sole charge of picking the squad after Ed Smith's role as national selector was axed, said: "You've got to do what's best for the team, ultimately, and find the best way of progressing England to a place where big first-innings runs -- and second-innings runs -- come in on a consistent basis."</p>

Cricket: Ajinkya Rahane's epic reaction when he sees social media trolls get 'trolled'

<p>England captain Joe Root took responsibility for his side's defeat by India in the second test at Lord's on Monday, saying he got his field placing and bowling approach tactically wrong.<br />
<br />
India declared on 298-8 after an unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 89 between tailenders Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah left the visitors in command, before England were bowled out for 120 and fell to a 151-run defeat.<br />
<br />
Shami and Bumrah's partnership was a "pivotal" moment in the match, said Root, expressing his disappointment at England's inability to restrict India's second innings.</p>

Cricket: England captain Joe Root shoulders blame for Lord's defeat

<p>Indian batsman KL Rahul has responded to the verbal altercations that happened between Indian and England players during the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-england-vs-india-2nd-test-team-india-conquer-the-lords-and-go-1-0-up-in-the-series-406130">Lord's Test</a>. During the post-match conference, Rahul said that if the opposition will engage then the team will give it back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Virat Kohli-led team impressed with both bat and ball as the side thrashed England by 151 runs in the second Test at Lord's on Monday to go 1-0 lead in a five-match series after just their third win in 19 Tests at the 'home of cricket' followed a rain-marred draw at Trent Bridge.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match, several heated arguments between both teams included players like Virat Kohli, James Anderson, Jaspreet Bumrah, etc. and commenting on the same, Rahul said, "Look, personally, it shows how badly both teams want to win. When both teams go at each other, it shows how badly both teams want to win and that is how Test cricket is played."</p>

<p>"We as a team are never shy to say a word or two, if someone goes at one of our players and the rest of 10 guys get pumped, that is the kind of team we are," said Rahul. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"If you go after one of our guys, you are going after the whole team. That is why bowlers were really keen to go out there. This is what people come to watch and this highly speaks about how badly each team wants to win. We are looking forward to the next three games, both teams are going to come hard," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Indian skipper Kohli had said that the constant verbals between his side and England in the second Test gave extra motivation to his boys to finish the game off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"But this one, to get a result in 60 overs, when we all thought let's just have a crack at what we have in front of us... It's quite special and especially when someone like Siraj is playing for the first time at Lord`s and bowling the way he did, it was outstanding.

Indian batsman KL Rahul has responded to the verbal altercations that happened between Indian and England players during the Lord's Test. During the post-match conference, Rahul said that if the opposition will engage then the team will give it back. Virat Kohli-led team impressed with both bat and ball as the side thrashed England by 151 runs in the second Test at Lord's on Monday to go 1-0 lead in a five-match series after just their third win in 19 Tests at the 'home of cricket' followed a rain-marred draw at Trent Bridge. During the match, several heated arguments between both teams included players like Virat Kohli, James Anderson, Jaspreet Bumrah, etc. and commenting on the same, Rahul said, "Look, personally, it shows how badly both teams want to win. When both teams go at each other, it shows how badly both teams want to win and that is how Test cricket is played."

"If you go after one of our guys, you are going after the whole team. That is why bowlers were really keen to go out there. This is what people come to watch and this highly speaks about how badly each team wants to win. We are looking forward to the next three games, both teams are going to come hard," he added.

India vs England: 'If you go after one of our guys...': KL Rahul reacts to heated altercations during Lord's Test

<p>After one of their worst home performances in recent history, England lost the second Test against India by 151 runs at Lord's.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It all started with Mohammed Shami (56*) and Jasprit Bumrah's mind-blowing 89-run 9th wicket combination, which established the tone for the game and turned the tide back in India's favour from a position when the hosts appeared to be favourites to win.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England, set 272 to win on the last day, were dismissed for just 120 on a largely docile pitch, with Mohammed Siraj taking 4-32 as India won for just the third time in their 19 Tests at the 'home of cricket'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After a rain-affected tie at Trent Bridge, India now leads the five-match series 1-0.</p>

<p>After Ajinkya Rahane's 61, India's tailenders Mohammed Shami (56 not out) and Jasprit Bumrah (34 not out) had an unbroken 89-run partnership before skipper Virat Kohli declared his side's second innings on 298-8 soon after midday on Monday's final day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fast bowlers Bumrah and Shami then stormed with the ball, dismissing England openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley for ducks before Bumrah took the prize wicket of Joe Root for 33 runs.</p>

<p>On 120, England lost their last three wickets, with an ecstatic Siraj, who took eight wickets in the Test overall, bowling James Anderson for a duck to end the match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>KL Rahul made a fine 129 in an India first-innings 364 that saw fellow opener Rohit Sharma score 83, with England great Anderson taking 5-62.<br />

Cricket: England vs India, 2nd Test — Team India conquer the Lord’s and go 1-0 up in the series

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidTGvhtwFsECRN" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>The Virat Kohli-led team's brilliant performance during the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-england-vs-india-2nd-test-team-india-conquer-the-lords-and-go-1-0-up-in-the-series-406130">second Test</a> of the five-match series resulted in a 151-run victory against England on Monday (August 16). The highlight of the match, however, was the Indian pacers who impressed with both bat and ball to inspire the team to take a 1-0 lead in the series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Besides the sensational display of skills, Bumrah remained in the headlines&nbsp;because of his heated arguments with England players on the final day of Lord's Test. The incident happened after the end of the 92nd over as Bumrah was spotted speaking to umpire Richard Illingworth, who was trying to calm the India pacer down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netizens reacted to the incident as one of the users wrote, "#IndvsEngThis is team India Don't mess with them they perfectly know where to hit hard." Another wrote, "Has anyone ever seen Bumrah so fired up before? I have never noticed it."</p>

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

<p>Indian opening batman KL Rahul has backed his fellow teammates Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who are struggling with their forms in the ongoing Test series against England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the press conferene after the second day of second Test match between India and England, Rahul said, "Pujara and Ajinkya are fabulous players and they've done the job for Team India every time the team was in trouble."&nbsp;</p>

<p>India is currently on England tour for a five-match Test series, of which the first one ended in a draw as the final day was washed away. In the first match, Pujara scored 4 runs in the first innnings and was playing at 12 at the end of Day 4.

Cricket: INDvsENG- Virat Kohli-led team wore red caps for a special cause during Day 2 of Lord's Test

<p>England captain Joe Root's latest rescue mission with the bat could not prevent India maintaining their grip on the second Test at Lord's on Friday.</p>

<p>The hosts were 119-3 at stumps on the second day, still 245 runs adrift of India's first-innings 364.</p>

<p>But amid yet another top-order collapse, star batsman Root was 48 not out.</p>

<p>England's position could have been worse after India resumed on 276-3 but pace-bowling great James Anderson kept the tourists in check with 5-62.</p>

<p>"India probably still have the edge but if we can get a couple of big partnerships that gets us right back in the game," said Anderson.</p>

<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-india-vs-england-sourav-ganguly-gets-nostalgic-at-lords-shares-epic-throwback-pictures-405067">Sourav Ganguly gets nostalgic at Lord's, shares epic throwback pictures</a></strong></p>

<p>Root had come in with England struggling at 23-2 after paceman Mohammed Siraj took two wickets in successive deliveries -- with the recalled Haseeb Hameed out for a golden duck.</p>

<p>Rory Burns and Root repaired some of that damage in a third-wicket partnership of 85 before the left-handed opener was lbw for 49 to Mohammed Shami.</p>

<p><strong>'Superhuman Root'</strong></p>

<p>"Joe's been amazing throughout his career and the stats in the last 12 months, with the pandemic and everything, it's been superhuman," said Anderson.</p>

<p>The second ball after tea saw Dom Sibley, on 11, tamely chip Siraj to midwicket -- a repeat of the struggling opener's careless first-innings dismissal during last week's rain-marred drawn first Test in Nottingham.</p>

<p>His exit brought in Hameed, playing his first Test since the last of his three previous caps, all in India five years ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But 24-year-old Hameed's long wait for a home debut Test innings ended first ball, bowled playing down the wrong line to Siraj.</p>

<p>England were 23-2 -- the 15th time in their 19 Test innings this year they had lost their second wicket before reaching 50.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That left Root, the lone England batsman to pass fifty at Trent Bridge with scores of 64 and 109, facing a familiar repair job.</p>

<p>Root blocked the hat-trick ball and a square-cut four off Ishant Sharma that took him to 14 saw him surpass Graham Gooch's tally of 8,900 Test runs to go second behind Alastair Cook (12,472) in England's all-time list.</p>

<p>Earlier, Anderson took his 31st five-wicket haul in 164 Tests and seventh at Lord's.</p>

<p>"It definitely is as special," said Anderson, who took his first Test-match 'five for' at the 'home of cricket' 18 years ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"To get seven here is just incredible really...Hopefully, it's not my last time on the honours board."</p>

<p>Anderson's latest impressive return came amid some sloppy England fielding, with several catches dropped and run-out chances missed.</p>

<p>It was a particularly commendable return given the 39-year-old Anderson had come into this game nursing a thigh problem.</p>

<p>England were already without Stuart Broad after Anderson's longstanding new-ball partner had been ruled out of the rest of this five-Test series with a calf injury.</p>

<p>"I don't feel an extra responsibility because he (Broad) is not here," said Anderson, whose current tally of 626 Test wickets has been bettered only by two retired spinners in Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800 Tests) and Australia's Shane Warne (708).</p>

<p>But it was Ollie Robinson who made the key breakthrough when, with just Friday's second ball, he had KL Rahul mistiming a drive to short cover for 129 after the opener had added just two runs to his overnight score.</p>

<p>It was the end of a more than six-and-a-half hour innings of 250 balls that included 12 fours and a six, with Rahul also sharing an excellent first-wicket stand of 126 with Rohit Sharma.</p>

<p>"I was feeling good and fresh this morning so I was really frustrated I missed out on a juicy half-volley," Rahul said.</p>

<p>This innings followed Rahul's 84 in the first Test, where he was only selected after Mayank Agarwal was hit on the head batting in the nets at Trent Bridge.</p>

<p>Rahul, turning to the match position, added: "We know there's not a lot happening off the pitch and we will need to be really disciplined with our lines and lengths."</p>

That left Root, the lone England batsman to pass fifty at Trent Bridge with scores of 64 and 109, facing a familiar repair job. Root blocked the hat-trick ball and a square-cut four off Ishant Sharma that took him to 14 saw him surpass Graham Gooch's tally of 8,900 Test runs to go second behind Alastair Cook (12,472) in England's all-time list. Earlier, Anderson took his 31st five-wicket haul in 164 Tests and seventh at Lord's. "It definitely is as special," said Anderson, who took his first Test-match 'five for' at the 'home of cricket' 18 years ago. "To get seven here is just incredible really...Hopefully, it's not my last time on the honours board." Anderson's latest impressive return came amid some sloppy England fielding, with several catches dropped and run-out chances missed. It was a particularly commendable return given the 39-year-old Anderson had come into this game nursing a thigh problem. England were already without Stuart Broad after Anderson's longstanding new-ball partner had been ruled out of the rest of this five-Test series with a calf injury. "I don't feel an extra responsibility because he (Broad) is not here," said Anderson, whose current tally of 626 Test wickets has been bettered only by two retired spinners in Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800 Tests) and Australia's Shane Warne (708). But it was Ollie Robinson who made the key breakthrough when, with just Friday's second ball, he had KL Rahul mistiming a drive to short cover for 129 after the opener had added just two runs to his overnight score. It was the end of a more than six-and-a-half hour innings of 250 balls that included 12 fours and a six, with Rahul also sharing an excellent first-wicket stand of 126 with Rohit Sharma. "I was feeling good and fresh this morning so I was really frustrated I missed out on a juicy half-volley," Rahul said. This innings followed Rahul's 84 in the first Test, where he was only selected after Mayank Agarwal was hit on the head batting in the nets at Trent Bridge. Rahul, turning to the match position, added: "We know there's not a lot happening off the pitch and we will need to be really disciplined with our lines and lengths."

'The rest is history': On this day in 1990, Sachin Tendulkar scored his first Test century - Watch

<p>Former skipper of the Indian cricket team and the current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly got nostalgic as he watched India play on Day 1 of the second Test match against England at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ganguly took to social media to share a collage of some old pictures of him at Lord's as a player, as a captain and then as an administrator. On his Instagram account, Ganguly wrote, "Came here as player first in 1996 ..and then as captain..enjoyed the game at lord's today as an administrator...india was and is in a good position all the times ..this game of cricket is majestic."</p>

<p>Ganguly enjoys fond memories of Lord's after making his debut in 1996 with scoring a century against England. Apart from this, who can forget the famous shirt-waving incident on the Lord's balcony when Ganguly stole the limelight as took off his shirt to celebrate India's win in the final of the Natwest Trophy in 2002.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the stumps of Day 1, the Indian side looked solid with 276-3 after KL Rahul's subline century. With some terrific shots, Rahul scored an unbeaten hundred, his sixth century in 38 Tests. He became India's third centurion as an opener at Lord's and also equalled former cricketer Virender Sehwag in the list of most hundreds outside Asia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Sehwag and Rahul have four Test tons outside Asia while playing as openers in whites. Sunil Gavaskar sits on top of the list with 15 centuries outside Asia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rohit Sharma, who made superb 83 runs for a 126-run stand with Rahul, heaped praises on his fellow opener. He said, "This is probably the best that I have seen KL Rahul bat."</p>

<p>"I thought he was very much in control from Ball 1. Till we finished the day today, he looked very much in control. At no point, it looked like he was confused or thinking too much, he was very clear about his plans," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When you are clear with your plans, when you trust your plans, it definitely works. I thought today was his day and I thought he really made it count," said Rohit.&nbsp;</p>

Former skipper of the Indian cricket team and the current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly got nostalgic as he watched India play on Day 1 of the second Test match against England at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. Ganguly took to social media to share a collage of some old pictures of him at Lord's as a player, as a captain and then as an administrator. On his Instagram account, Ganguly wrote, "Came here as player first in 1996 ..and then as captain..enjoyed the game at lord's today as an administrator...india was and is in a good position all the times ..this game of cricket is majestic." Ganguly enjoys fond memories of Lord's after making his debut in 1996 with scoring a century against England. Apart from this, who can forget the famous shirt-waving incident on the Lord's balcony when Ganguly stole the limelight as took off his shirt to celebrate India's win in the final of the Natwest Trophy in 2002.

<h2><strong>Now, let's take a look at the Pitch Report, weather report and the probable playing XI of the two teams:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Pitch Report:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>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;</p>

<h2><strong>Weather forecast:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>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;</p>

<h2><strong>Probable XI:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>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;</p>

<p><strong>England:&nbsp;</strong>Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Haseeb Hameed, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood, James Anderson</p>

<p><strong>India:&nbsp;</strong>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</p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>Form skipper of the Pakistan cricket team Inzamam-ul-Haq said that "India will be favourites" to win the five-match Test series between India and England, of which the first ended giving no result after the match at Trent Bridge on Sunday was washed out.</p>

<p>The play on the fifth and final day was called off due to rain and not even a single ball was bowled. Chasing 209 runs to win, India were looking good as they were 52/1 overnight and needed 157 runs to win. The next match series will be kick off from August 12 at Lord's.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While speaking in a video on his Youtube channel, Inzamam said, "I think India will be favorites moving forward in this Test series. I am not saying this because of their performance in the first Test. I feel that way because of the youngsters, who have come in recently in the last two years."</p>

<p>"The best trait in most of these young players is that they are performing well in all conditions. There used to be a time in the past when Indians used to play well at their home but not that well in foreign tours. But after these youngsters came in, India has been doing well while touring abroad," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the first match ended in a draw, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was disappointed as he said, "We were expecting rain on days three and four but it chose to come on day five. It would have been enjoyable to play and watch, but it’s a shame. This is exactly what we wanted to do; start strong."</p>

<p>"On day five we knew we had our chances. We certainly felt like we were on top of the game. Getting that lead was crucial, but it’s a shame we couldn’t finish day five. Getting to fifty overnight was important. We just didn’t want to play for survival," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>KL Rahul said the work in preparing the players had put throughout the last month-and-a-half, post the World Test Championship final, paid off in the Nottingham Test against England, which finished in a draw after downpour washed away what vowed to be an intriguing fifth day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Everything that we prepared for one and half months fell in place, and hopefully we can keep getting better,” said KL Rahul during the post-match press conference.</p>

<p>“It was a challenging pitch, and weather conditions being as they were, going in and going out weren't easy for us to get our focus back. The switch on and switch off was very challenging.

<p>On an individual level, the Nottingham Test was huge for KL Rahul. Playing in his first Test in almost two years, the 29-year-old got the chance and scored an unflinching 84 in the first innings and scored 26 in the subsequent innings.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>Now, it looks like he has taken his role of cricket coach to the next step — A Kannada teacher.&nbsp;</p>
