India vs England: Captain Virat Kohli elated after 'late Independence Day' win over England

Firstpost  

England were chasing a target of 272 but, with Mohammed Siraj taking 4-32 and fellow paceman Bumrah 3-33, they slumped to 120 all out. India captain Virat Kohli promised there would no let-up from his side following an impressive 151-run win over England in the second Test at Lord’s on Monday he labelled a “day late” Independence celebration. “We have three matches to go and we will be just as intense,” added Kohli, looking to lead India to just a fourth Test series win in England after successes in 1971, 1986 and 2007. “I don’t think I coped with that partnership well enough… Maybe we could have looked at attacking the stumps a little bit more frequently, using the short ball as more of a surprise.” Yet for all their failings in the field, batting out the 60 overs remaining on a placid pitch to secure a second successive draw this series following a rain-marred first Test at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge should not have been beyond England. Batting collapses, however, have become an all-too common feature of their recent red-ball cricket outfit and there were four ducks on Monday, with Rory Burns and Dom Sibley the first England opening pair to both be out for nought in a home Test innings “I don’t think there’s any hiding from it, we do need to get better,” said Root.
