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.

Ashwin has looked good with the bat in both innings. He watchfully defends the first five balls from Woakes before steering the last ball past the slips for a four.

Shami doesn't want to waste any time as he tries a reckless wild swing against Anderson but misses it completely and is given out leg before for a duck.

Kuldeep then gets an inside edge which goes on to the stumps to be bowled for a duck.

Anderson strikes two balls later with the wicket of Shami, who looks to pull a leg side bouncer and is caught down the leg side for a duck.

But Shami takes the DRS and rightly so as the ball was a long way from the bat and gloves which means the decision has to be overturned.

James Anderson comes back into the attack. Ashwin slashes a short wide delivery over the thirdman region for a four and then takes one.

Pandya is beaten off the last ball as Anderson produces a cracking outswinger which is switched on and around the off-stump, forcing the right-hander to play.

Pandya looking a bit more comfortable than some of his other team mates earlier in the day. A full delivery on the stumps by Broad is punched down the ground with a straight by Pandya for a boundary to take his score to 20, the only Indian batsmen to reach the 20-run mark in this innings.

That boundary also helps India cross the 100-run mark in their second innings, in the 39th over.

Play resumes at Lord's as Broad starts off the with the ball in the post-tea session.

Hardik Pandya lets the first two balls go through before he blocks the third ball watchfully.

After a few minutes of treatment, Pandya continues as he watchfully defends the next ball with a straight bat.

Left-arm pacer Sam Curran to bowl from the other end. Ashwin plays a cracking cover drive but Root saves the boundary with a full length dive to keep it down to one. Pandya tucks the next ball off his hips on the leg side for another single.

Beautiful spell by Broad, who has taken four for 16 in his 11th over.

Broad on a hat-trick! But he can't get the hat-trick as he tries to repeat the same delivery but this time it goes way down the leg side for four byes.

Captain Virat Kohli walks in at No. 5. Pujara clips the third ball through square leg for two runs and then gets a bye from the next ball as wicketkeeper Bairstow fumbles.

Kohli not looking too comfortable as he defends a full delivery from Woakes and then looks in some discomfort. He is not in good shape but has come out to bat for the sake of the team and it remains to be seen how long India will risk him.

Sam Curran comes into the attack to replace Woakes. Kohli stretches forward to defend a full delivery and takes a single off the third ball as he clips it to square leg and labours across the pitch for one.

The two experienced batsmen -- Rahane and Pujara -- have settled down well and are looking to take singles and keep the scoreboard ticking along.

Rahane is beaten by the incoming delivery as England appeal for leg before wicket but the inside edge saves him before he offers no shot to the last ball.

The covers are being taken off and play will start at 2pm local time which is 630pm IST.

Play is yet to begin after the lunch interval with the covers still in place. It has stopped raining but the covers are yet to be taken off.

India will be happy to see rain interrupt play and delay proceedings. However, England have plenty of time in hand to force a result. There are still five sessions to go in the match and with the overhead conditions and the way how England's fast bowlers have dominated with the ball, they would fancy their chances of bowling out the Indians in a couple of session.

Stay tuned!

Rain brings an early halt to proceedings in the morning session as India walk into the lunch break on 17 for two in nine overs, still needing another 272 runs to avoid the innings defeat.

Rahane gets off the mark with a single and Pujara takes one off the fifth ball but India are in trouble on 15 for two in seven overs.

India's primary task will be see off the new ball and both Murali Vijay and KL Rahul would be looking to come up with an improved showing in the second innings.

For India, Shami and Pandya picked up three wickets each but it was a disappointing effort by the Indian bowlers as they struggled even against the likes of Woakes and Curran.

Facing a huge first innings lead of 289 runs, India will need to bat out of their skin to save the match.

Question marks also remain over Captain Virat Kohli's fitness, who didn't take the field on Day 4 owing to a stiff back.

Curran drives Ishant to mid-off for a single before Woakes get a thick outside edge which flies past the slips for a four.

Woakes also going for his shots. He looks for a big drive through the off-side but gets a thick outside edge for a boundary over the slips for a four and the next ball is carved over the off-side for two more runs as 17 runs come from the over.

England will continue to bat and build their lead on a gloomy day at Lord's. Mohammed Shami will open the bowling for India.

Welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the second Test between England and India at Lord's on Sunday.

A desperate India would be aiming for quick wickets and finish off England's innings to keep themselves alive in the contest.

The third day belonged to England with Chris Woakes hitting a maiden Test century and Jonny Bairstow scored 93 as England reached 357-6 to open up a significant 250-run lead over India.

Arriving at the crease with England 131-5, Woakes back in the side as a replacement for Ben Stokes scored freely in a partnership of 189 with Bairstow, bringing up his century with a pull for three.

Bairstow looked set to join him in getting his name on the Lords honours board, but the Yorkshireman fell for 93, caught excellently by wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik after he nicked a Hardik Pandya delivery.

Woakes, who ended the day unbeaten on 120, struck 18 boundaries at the home of cricket and was joined at the crease by effervescent youngster Sam Curran (22 not out) who again looked confident after impressing with both bat and ball in the opening test at Edgbaston.

After rain washed out the first days play and interrupted much of day two, bad light brought proceedings to a close with England in a commanding lead.
