In a near-perfect performance England routed India in the second Test at Lord’s by an innings and 159 runs. Chris Woakes displayed all-round skills to put India on back foot and was ably supported by veterans James Anderson and Stuart Broad. With this win England have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
India received deserved criticism on social media from ex-players and experts, more so for their no show by the batsmen. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar took to Twitter and wrote, ” While watching India’s batting misery it was impossible to also not see the class of Anderson & Broad. Sheer pleasure watching them bowl today."

Kaif said, "India lasted 82 overs across 2 innings. They not learning from mistakes has been very disappointing to watch. Thoroughly outplayed in all departments in this one."

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan lauded his team's effort and wrote, "English conditions YES ... Would you expect England to Win YES ... but to hammer the No1 Team inside 2 allocated days is some effort ... I declare it #BeerOclock."
