The second match of the five-match Test series is being played at the historic Lord’s Ground between India and England. In reply to India’s 364, England scored 391 in the first innings. Captain Joe Root, batting brilliantly, scored his 22nd century and remained unbeaten on 180. On the third day of the Root Test match, the Indian bowlers took the news seriously and made excellent shots across the field. However, the English captain’s reverse scoop shot of Mohammed Siraj’s bowling served to rob the crowd at Lord’s. Siraj was also surprised to see this shot from Test specialist Root’s bat.
Root made room on Mohammed Siraj’s good long ball and played it for four runs on slips. Root does not usually play such shots. For this reason, fans at Lord’s were also astonished to see this shot of Root. The England captain did not have the support of the rest of the batsmen, so he could not complete his double century. Root set many big records in his 180-run innings. He became the second fastest batsman to score 9000 runs in Root Test cricket. He became the first England batsman to score 16,000 runs in international cricket.

On the third day of the Lord’s Test, Root, along with the rest of the batsmen, put pressure on Indian bowlers. He was joined by English captain Johnny Bairstow for 121 for the fourth wicket, and in the first session, not a single England wicket fell. After the dismissal of Bairstow, Root put England in a strong position by partnering with Jose Butler and Moeen Ali. Immediately after the dismissal of Moeen, England’s innings slowed down and the entire team became all out after scoring 391.
