India are 0-2 down in the five-match series and face an almighty task getting back in the series.

Speaking after the match Virat Kohli said, “Yeah looking back, I thought we got the combination wrong. Not proud of the way we’ve played. First time in the last five Tests that we’ve been outplayed. We deserved to lose this game, the way we went about things.”
Kohli suffered from back strains in the Lord’s Test and only contributed 23 & 17 in the match. The Delhi batsman also dropped to number 2 in ICC rankings having gained the number one spot after his magnificent performance in Edgbaston test.
