England's big win at Headingley has come in for a lot of praise from netizens on Twitter. The hosts handed India an innings and 76 run defeat on Saturday to level the five-match series 1-1. India, after starting from 215/2 on the fourth day, were bowled out for 278 in the second innings.
Pacer Ollie Robinson was the wreaker-in-chief, claiming five wickets for 65 runs. Craig Overton took three wickets while James Anderson had one wicket to his name. India lost their last seven wickets for just 41 runs in 54 minutes, leaving the netizens stunned at how the tourists wilted under pressure.
