India Vs England : This is how former Indian player slammed India's 'humiliating defeat'; find out here
The former Indian cricketer's lambasted India's batsmen while hailing England's pace spearhead James Anderson who took nine wickets in the match. While Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar congratulated England on their emphatic win.
After the poor performance of Virat Kohli's men, England dismissed the visitors for 130 and won the second Test by an innings and 159 runs at Lord's.
England completed a crushing innings and taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. England's pacer James Anderson took 4/23 to finish with nine wickets and Stuart Broad scalped with 4/44 in the second Test match as India were bowled out for 130.
England's paceman James Anderson took out the openers and Stuart Broad wiped out the middle order, even taking the wickets of Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik off consecutive deliveries.
Caught in unfavourable conditions, not reading what the opposition threw saw India lose the Lord’s Test tamely without showing a fight. Hopefully lessons are learnt quickly and the rest of the batsman start applying themselves going forward.

The new ball is a big factor overseas. When the openers blunt the new ball, they give life to the middle order. India is getting nothing from its openers and that is where the comeback, if there is one, has to start.

Very poor from India. While we all want to stand by our team and support them when they don’t do well, going down without a fight is very disappointing to watch. Hope they have the confidence and mental strength to comeback from this.

Lack of fight has been the most disappointing aspect. This is really painful to watch. No batsman exudes any confidence. #ENGvIND
