India lost second Test against England

London : India suffered an embarrassing 159-run innings defeat in the second Test against England after yet another batting failure on day four at Lord’s, leaving the struggling visitors 0-2 behind in the five-match series.

Indian batsmen failed to learn from their mistakes and were all at sea against the moving ball as the second innings folded up for 130 in 47 overs. James Anderson (4-23) once again toyed with the opposition, taking his match tally to nine, and equally effective was Stuart Broad (4-44).

England, who resumed at overnight 356 for six, declared their first innings at 396 for seven earlier today with Chris Woakes staying unbeaten on 137.

The Indian batsmen let the team down also in the first Test but the away side at least put up a fight. Virat Kohli-led unit showed no semblance of a fight, bringing back the haunted memories of the previous series in 2014 and 2011.
