After a drawn opening Test in Nottingham, India beat England by 151 runs at Lord’s. However, a batting collapse in the first innings, where India managed a meagre 78 at Leeds, saw the visitors suffer a big loss on Day Four of the third Test

Paul Collingwood: India will bounce back

“I thought we bowled tremendously well. It is easy to criticise the Indian batsmen if you are an Indian supporter, but there was a lot of movement off the pitch on the first day. We were also thinking about bowling on that first morning [at Leeds]. There was a bit of moisture in the pitch and the way we bowled, made it tricky for the batsmen. Kohli said in his post-match conference that the accuracy and relentlessness of our bowlers was something that they struggled against and their accuracy, I thought, was fantastic as was the movement of the ball. So it’s difficult to play when you have high-quality bowlers in those conditions,” added Collingwood, who 
has 9,934 runs under his belt at the international level and 144 wickets across all formats.
