Alastair Cook Blamed As India Beats England For First Time In 28 Years At Lord's: First Overseas Test Win Since 2011

It's not been a good sporting year for England, and their cricket team, who were once a formidable force, suffered a devastating defeat. India beat England at Lord's to gain their first win their in 28 years, and their first test win since 2011, adding to England's misery. India defeated England by 95 runs. Can England bounce back?

Ishant Sharma was the star as he took seven wickets for 74 runs in the post-lunch session on Monday. India took a 1-0 lead in the five-Test series, but can England find the right form to win again? The last time India won a Test at Lord's, 10 of their players were yet to be born, showing how dominant England had been.

A lot of the blame has been shifted on Alastair Cook.

Ex-England batsman Geoffrey Boycott had his say: "Only Alastair Cook, his wife and family want him to remain as captain - nobody else. He's being stubborn and it's going to take six wild stallions to drag him out of that job. It's not about Alastair's feelings; it's about the England cricket team. He sees it as a sign of weakness to give it up. It's not - it's a sign of strength. He thinks it's all going to come right when he scores some runs. It's not."

What can England do to fix this mess they find themselves in, and can India take advantage, or will England retaliate like a wounded animal? It's going to be an interesting summer of Cricket, that's for sure.
