Preview
Lord's was a crushing win for India but it is still too early to say the momentum has swung their way. This team is still learning to win, still hoping at the start of every Test match that their bowlers are capable of taking 20 wickets.That three batsmen were out hooking into a leg side packed with boundary riders had more to do with England's fragility than with India's tactics. Something will need to change within the home dressing room, and very soon, if England are to come back into the series. Alastair Cook will need to lead that change, whether by example - things might look very different if he makes a hundred on Sunday and puts on 150 with another member of his top three - or by dint of his captaincy.
Match Stats
1.M Vijay has faced 794 balls in the series so far, and has already moved to second on the list of India openers in terms of balls faced in a series in England. With three Tests still to go, he is within sight of Sunil Gavaskar's record of 1199 balls faced in four Tests in 1979.
2.Only five captains in England's history have led in more than 20 Tests with a worse win-loss record than Alastair Cook, who has won 9 and lost 8 of the 25 Tests he has captained in.
