India 130-all out (47 ovs) & 107 vs Eng 396-7 | Scorecard

England destroyed India by an innings and 159 runs to win the second Test match at Lord's and take a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series, on Day 4, on Sunday.

India's batting flopped once again as they were shot out for a lowly 130 in 47 overs in their second innings. They had managed just 107 in their first innings before England declared on 396 for seven to take a huge 289-run lead.

Ravichandran Ashwin finished unbeaten on 33 and was once again the highest run-scorer for India in the second innings as the top order failed miserably for the second time in helpful conditions.

It was the England pacers, who did the damage with the ball, with Stuart Broad and James Anderson picking up four wickets each. Chris Woakes, who hit an unbeaten century, claimed two wickets as England came up with a dominating performance to rout the World No. 1 Test team.
