Ishant Sharma bagged his best figures for India 7 74

After a stalemate at Trent Bridge in the first Test of the five-match series, England decided to dish out a spicy pitch at Lord's. It was so green on the first day that it was difficult to determine where the pitch ended and where the outfield began. Naturally, India were in a spot of bother and needed some batter to stand up and take them out of trouble. That batter was their 'Mr. Dependable' Ajinkya Rahane, who by then had slowly made a reputation for himself for playing crucial knocks in overseas conditions. Rahane's incredible hundred took India to a respectable first-innings total of 295. Bhuvneshwar Kumar starred with the ball, picking up a five-wicket haul, ensuring that the hosts took a slender lead of just 24 runs. In the second innings, the visitors were once again in a spot of bother and this time, it was Ravindra Jadeja who played a fantastic cameo of 68(57). Murali Vijay's patient 95 and some crucial runs from Bhuvneshwar in both innings also helped the visitors set a competitive target of 319. Ishant Sharma began well, making use of the gloomy conditions to dismiss Ian Bell and Alastair Cook. But on Day 5, conditions changed and Joe Root and Moeen Ali took control of the game. Runs started to flow from both ends and this is where Dhoni took the call of asking Ishant to bang it short consistently. Ali's wicket on the last ball before lunch proved to be the impetus they needed as a rampant Ishant Sharma went through the hosts' batting line-up in the final session of the game to finish with his best figures of 7/74. This emphatic 95-run win also ended the visitors' 1124-day wait to win an overseas Test match.
