India's world class pace attack pulled off an incredible heist with the bat and then a magnificent performance with the ball to decimate England by 151 runs in the second Test on Monday.

The fifth day at the hallowed Lord's was as good an exhibition of Test cricket with India bowling out England for 120 as they tried to bat it out without going for a chase of 272 in 60 overs.

It was a match where odds were in favour of England but the cricketing Gods wanted Virat Kohli's men to script another golden chapter in the history of Indian cricket.

Mohammed Shami (56 N.O. & 1/13 in 10 overs) and Jasprit Bumrah (34 N.O. & 3/33 in 15 overs) played innings of their lives and then rocked the England top-order, before Ishant Sharma (2/13 in 10 overs) and Mohammed Siraj (4/32) played their part to perfection to give the visitors a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

This is India's third Test match win at Lord's having won earlier in 1986 and 2014 series and they now have six points in the World Test Championship.

First Shami and Bumrah achieved the unthinkable of batting England out of the contest by conjuring a record stand of 89 which took the team's total to 298 for 8 and made the target of 272 in two sessions look fairly impossible.
