Fans and budding sportsmen on Tuesday lauded India’s victory in the
second test after Ishant Sharma bowled India to a rare victory at Lords,
the home of cricket. Ishant Sharma claimed seven wickets to bowl India
to a 95-run victory over England in the second test at Lord's on Monday,
their first overseas win since 2011.
This is India's second victory at the home of cricket and first since 1986. Resuming at 105 for four in pursuit of 319, Joe Root and Moeen Ali survived until the final ball before lunch when the latter fell to Sharma.
The willowy right-armer claimed four more wickets after the break as England's batsmen capitulated in the face of India's short-pitched barrage and were bowled out for 223, putting the visitors 1-0 up in the five-match series.
