Mohammad Siraj beats James Anderson's defense and knocks over the stumps. He picks up his fourth wicket of the innings and eighth of the match. England are bowled out for 120 and India secure a massive 151-run win to take a 1-nil lead in the five-match series. In a game where the momentum see-sawed with each passing session, the visitors turned the momentum in their favour on the last day, led by Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah's rare all-round display. Even as the victory margin seems big, it was a contest that was well-fought with both teams at a near-even position for most parts of the game. A game well played, a victory well earned.

The Indian Tail Getting Some Runs In This Series. And Some Important Runs Here As Well.

The unconventional ( Eccentric ) batting of stands in between England victory and Indian tail. The England pace battery will look more menacing with new red cherry in overcast conditions on a fifth day pitch with variable bounce.

Hello and welcome to the fifth and the final day of the Lord's Test. The contest between England and India has been well set after four days of play, where the momentum has swung and swayed, but largely transitioned from the hands of the visitors to the hosts. After having secured a 27-run lead in the first innings courtesy Joe Root's unbeaten 180, England had reduced India to 55 for 3 in the second essay before a stubborn century-stand by Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane brought India back on level terms. However, three wickets late in the day have left England with a marginal upperhand. With England set to take the new ball on Day 5, will they clean up India's tail quickly or will Rishabh Pant spring a surprise with the bat.
