After failing to win a Test at Lord's for 28 years, India wasn'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.

Bhuvi was once again the star with the ball in the first Innings as his 6/82 helped India restrict England to 319, despite Garry Ballance's hundred.

Trailing England by 24, India was 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.
