India team skipper Virat Kohli applauded the efforts of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami who stitched together an 89-run unbroken partnership for the ninth wicket to set England a 272-run target in a minimum of 60 overs, which the hosts could not achieve and lost the second Test at Lord's by 151 runs on Monday. The pace quartet of Bumrah, Shami, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj then destroyed the England batting, bowling out the hosts for a paltry 120 with 8.1 overs remaining.

"Just to applaud what Jasprit (Bumrah) and (Mohmmed) Shami did. It takes a lot of character and heart to play under those circumstances as bowlers who don't get much to bat, and just putting their hand up for the team when we needed it most. It was something that we were really proud of and we want to let them know. They were charged up and both took the new ball and got us two breakthroughs as well, which were very crucial for us," said Kohli during the post-match press conference.
