Put into bat under overcast conditions, the frailties of a wobbly top order was there for everyone to see as veteran Jimmy Anderson (5/20) made them hop, skip and jump on a track with his 26th five-wicket haul in longest form. He was ably complemented by Chris Woakes (2/19), Sam Curran (1/26) and Stuart Broad (1/37). Take a look at the match highlights of Day 2 of the 2nd Test at Lord's.(Scorecard).

India vs England, 1st Test Day 3:
IND 274 & 110/5 at stumps vs ENG (287, 180): A fine end of a day where some more spectacular Test cricket was on display. The game isn't over by any means, but the balance is slightly tipped in England's favour. Sam Curran gave the hosts a chance to begin with. Had it not been for his attacking fifty, this game might have more or less been over by now. But the Englishmen are in it with a real chance. Curran's good show with the bat was backed up by the bowling department well. Everybody except for Adil Rashid chipped in with the wicket to send half the Indian side back in the hut. The onus once again lies on India's fearless leader Virat Kohli. Much like the first innings, he holds the key to the visitors' success in this game. He is partnered by Dinesh Karthik at the other end and the pair will have a big job come the morning of Day 4. With still 84 runs to win, if England break this partnership early tomorrow, or somehow manage to get Kohli, this match is theirs for the taking. (Scorecard)
