Joe Root top-scored for the hosts with 33 runs as England were bowled out for 120 in their second innings.
The 2nd Test at Lord's between India and England was nothing but exciting. By the end of Day 4 and the start of the fifth day saw India was almost on the losing end, but they sure changed things around.
After declaring 272, India had given the England side 60 overs to hold the fort and draw the match. However, this also meant, if India wanted to win, they would have to get the host all out before the stipulated overs.
So before the fourth innings of the Lord’s Test, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was seen giving his teammates a motivational speech.
"For 60 overs they should feel hell out there," Kohli was heard saying before the Three Lions began their run-chase.

The speech surely proved effective as Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley went sent back in quick succession. Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Ishant Sharma got the English side packed and parceled back to the pavilion.
