India made it a memorable Monday for millions of cricket fans as Kohli & Co trumped England in the second Test at Lord's. With this Team India now have a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

The encounter had its own share of drama and histrionics and tense moments followed by an unbeaten 89-run partnership between Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah which cemented India’s position and allowed them to declare just after lunch. England were bowled out with less than nine overs to go, helping India clock a 151-run win.

Mayank Agarwal’s team picture kinda summed it up, succinctly as he captioned it "One for all and all for one."
