#4 England vs India, Lord's 2014

India had not won a Test at Lord's for 28 years, and they weren't expected to do much better when England dished out a 'green mamba' in the second Test of the Investec Test series in 2014. A defiant hundred by Ajinkya Rahane (103), diligently supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (36) resurrected India's innings from 145/7 to a competitive 295 all out.
Bhuvneshwar was once again the star with the ball in the 1st Innings as his 6/82 helped India restrict England to 319, despite Garry Ballance's hundred. Trailing England by 24, India were once again on tender hooks at 123/4, leading England by a mere 98.
A resilient Vijay (95) and quick cameos from Ravindra Jadeja (68) and Bhuvneshwar (52) helped India set England 318 runs to win. Subsequently, Ishant Sharma (7/74) compiled his magnum opus to bounce out England, scripting a glorious victory for India by 95 runs.
India 295 (Ajinkya Rahane 103, James Anderson 4/60) & 342 (Murali Vijay 95, Ben Stokes 3/51) beat England 319 (Gary Ballance 110, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 6/82) & 223 (Joe Root 66, Ishant Sharma 7/74) by 95 runs.
