Cricket: India tightens it's grip on 2nd Test match at Lord's

India has gained a strong position against England in the second cricket test match at Lords. Chasing a target of 319 to win, England stumbled to 105 for 4 in their second innings at stumps on day four. Moeen Ali on 15 and Joe Root on 14 were at the crease when stumps were drawn last night. Earlier Indian all rounder Ravindra Jadeja struck his maiden Test fifty, to implant India's authority. He scored 66 runs overall and his 99-run partnership for the 8th wicket with Bhuvneshwar Kumar,52, came in a whirlwind manner. Coming to bowl Jadeja removed the opener Sam Robson to set the tone for India. India now need to take six wickets a chance to record their first win at Lord's since 1986 on the fifth and final day.
