India beat England at Lord's after 28 Years

New Delhi, July 21 (ANI): India clinched their first Test win at the historic Lord's after 28 years after Ishant Sharma took seven wickets for 74 runs in a dramatic post-lunch session at Lord's on Monday. India, thus, took a 1-0 lead in the five-Test series as the first Test at Nottingham ended in a draw. The third Test starts in Southampton on July 27. Skipper MS Dhoni said that the victory was because of team work. It took 28 long years for India to win a Test match at the 'Home of Cricket' after 'Kapil Dev's team achieved the feat back in June 1986 winning by five wickets. Scores: England 319 and 223 (J. Root 66; I. Sharma 7-74) v India 295 and 342 (M. Vijay 95, R. Jadeja 68, B. Kumar 52; B. Stokes 3-51, L. Plunkett 3-65) Jul 21, 2014

If you walked in to watch a spot of Test cricket at Lord's on Thursday morning, you would not be blamed if you found it a little difficult to pick out the pitch from the rest of the ground. A green-as-they-come pitch greeted India, but Ajinkya Rahane showed the way to bat on the pitch, with England, despite some good bowling from James Anderson, unable to find a way through on day one of the second Test.
