It is astonishing to see the rediff has been habituated not to print the message in the deserved column, which may kindly be looked upon and do the needful.
Now a data we are not used to 5 test series.Once the great Clive Lloyd said that in 5 test series visiting teams usually get acclimated and show different results after poor show in first two tests

In England it is very difficult to get used to the conditions as the ball swings prodigiously there & right technique matters. If there is cloud cover when a team is batting & if the bowling team has good swing bowlers they can easily exploit the conditions & take the game away. When Stokesy & Butler were on in the second innings there was sunshine which helped them negotiate the ball comfortably as it was not moving around. Sometimes 2 full sessions is all it takes to hammer the opposition to pulp which is what England did at Lord's to us. The Indian team must not get carried away as England could bounce back at Southampton. Also in some ways this was a freak performance by the Indians especially in catching. Hope they can continue in this way as that is what changes matches. Rishab Pant needs to hone his keeping skills fast as he let Butler off who went on to score a century. He needs to realize batting in England is not a cake walk.

Right. I was crying hoarse to look at the Lord's performance almost entirely a conspiracy of the weather. It is always interesting when the bowlers are on top in what has become a batsman's game. But sadly some people look only at the result column.
