Sharma fires India to 95-run win at Lord’s
Print Edition
ISHANT Sharma claimed seven wickets to bowl India to a 95-run victory over England in the second test at Lord’s yesterday, its first overseas win since 2011.
India’s second victory at the home of cricket and first since 1986 continued England’s miserable year after series defeats by Australia and Sri Lanka. Resuming at 105 for four in pursuit of 319, Joe Root and Moeen Ali survived until the final ball before lunch when the latter fell to Sharma. The willowy right-armer claimed four more wickets after the break as England’s batsmen capitulated in the face of India’s short-pitched barrage and were bowled out for 223, putting the visitors 1-0 up in the five-match series.
Sharma finished with career-best figures of 7-74, including five wickets in 33 balls.
