Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah script remarkable turnaround to set-up memorable Lord's Test victory

India pacer Mohammed Siraj is ecstatic after getting rid of James Anderson, who was the last to be dismissed on Day five of the second Test between England and India at Lord's. Virat Kohli and Co registered a memorable 151-run win on a dramatic final day to lead the Test series 1-0. AP
India were put into bat on tough overcast conditions on the first day of the Test. However, the visitors got off to an excellent start, with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul stitching a 127-run stand for the first wicket. AP
