Indian Cricket Team at the Home of Cricket - Lord's

After India's dominant victory in Edgbaston, the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy has now moved to the Home of Cricket in Lord's, London. 

India stamped their authority in the second Test at Edgbaston, defeating England by a massive 336 runs, also their first victory at that venue.

Shubman Gill, the Indian skipper finished the game breaking several records. Among the many milestones, he also became the first player ever in Test cricket's 148-year-long history to score a double century and a 150 in the same game.

Indian bowlers, led by Akashdeep and Mohammad Siraj, were at their best, picking up 20 wickets on a flat surface that had very little for the bowlers.

England, on the other hand, was in total dismay. The only positive aspect was Jamie Smith's batting, who scored 272 runs (184 & 88) in the game.

The visitors' latest performances at Lord's could be encouraging for the young side led by Shubman Gill. With England still left with plenty of unanswered questions after the Edgbaston defeat, there is a lot at stake for both teams.
