India ended England's slim chance of progressing from the 2010s section with a 2 wicket victory in a memorable Lord's Test. They almost threw it away on a breathless final afternoon when 7 wkts tumbled for 94. But India's fast bowlers, Kumar and Umesh, came in and scored valuable runs with the latter smashing Anderson back over his head for the winning boundary. Arguably India's most influential player was Ravi Ashwin, who took 8-111 with his off breaks and was there at the end with a calm unbeaten 24. India's other stand out performer was their captain, Kohli, who stroked a sublime 108 on day 2, facilitating India's important 1st innings lead of 60.

India closed day 2 on 239-4, Sehwag having dashed to 90 off 105 balls before succumbing to Bond's famous yorker. Ganguly could not add to his overnight 104 on day 3 as India got within 16 runs of ROW's 1st innings score. The pitch continued to play well and day 4 was illuminated by a 3rd wicket partnership of 280 by ROW's Yousuf (138) and Fleming (165no). Set 354 to win, India lost Gambhir in Bond's opening over but by lunch on day 5 their hopes were high, 187-1 with Ganguly and Sehwag batting carefree.
