Former senior cricketer Geoffrey Boycott said England were fooled by their tactics in the second Test against India and hoped to stir up feelings. India lost by 151 runs to England after the fifth day of the Lord’s Test began in a strong position. During the match, an argument broke out between the players of both teams and India took advantage of these situations by increasing their level of play, but England failed to do so.
