James Anderson's 5-wicket haul helps England bowl India out for 107 at Lord's on Day two

Aug 10 (AZINS) James Anderson rose to the occasion for England as they bowled out India for 107 in 35.2 overs on the second day of the ongoing second Test at Lord’s on Friday.

Anderson picked up a stunning five-for, while the likes of Chris Woakes and Sam Curran played a great second fiddle to him.

It was Woakes who removed the key man, Virat Kohli and followed that up with the wicket of Hardik Pandya. India at one point lost three wickets for just 12 runs – Kohli, Pandya and Dinesh Karthik, who became a victim of a jaffa from Curran.

Earlier, when the play finally began after the rain delay, India began the day on a poorer note when they lost both their openers KL Rahul and Murali Vijay to Anderson. Just after a few overs, the rain returned and the play was halted again.

India were struggling on 15 for three when heavy rain disrupted play for the third time on Friday after the entire first day of the test was lost to the wet weather.

England lead the series 1-0 after their victory at Edgbaston and opening bowler James Anderson had got them off to a good start when play eventually began, clean bowling opener Murali Vijay before removing KL Rahul, who was caught behind by keeper Jonny Bairstow.

After a rain delay, Cheteshwar Pujara was run out by debutant Ollie Pope and a downpour followed immediately with skipper Virat Kohli the unbeaten batsman on three.

England captain Joe Root had won the delayed toss and put India in to bat.

Both teams made changes from the first test, won by England, with India making two changes from Edgbaston and opting for a twin spin bowling attack.

Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav was brought in for seamer Umesh Yadav, joining off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the slow bowling department.

Batsman Pujara was brought in for Shikhar Dhawan.

As expected England gave a test debut to 20-year-old Surrey batsman Pope, who has only 15 first-class matches under his belt but takes the place of the dropped Dawid Malan.

Paceman Chris Woakes comes in for Ben Stokes, who is the subject of a criminal trial in Bristol this week, meaning Moeen Ali missed out again.
