India made a significant impact with the ball in the second innings of the 3rd Test against England at Lord's, claiming seven wickets as bowled, a rare feat in modern Test cricket.

The Indian bowlers consistently targeted the stumps, resulting in a total of 12 wickets as bowled across the match.

IND vs ENG: India hit the Stumps 7 Times in 2nd innings

In England's second innings, the Indian pace attack led by Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep struck early. Siraj bowled out Ben Duckett and trapped Ollie Pope lbw, while Akash Deep bowled Harry Brook shortly after a counter-attacking cameo.

The relentless focus on attacking the stumps meant that a remarkable seven of England's wickets in this innings fell as bowled.

Washington Sundar was the one who completely changed the complexion of the match. The spinner took four wickets, including the dangerous duo Joe Root and Jamie Smith. All of his four scalps were bowled, thus taking India's impressive tally further. He then got the final wicket of Shoaib Bashir as England were bowled out for 192 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah also cleaned up the English tail with two yorkers, which sent Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse packing.

India ended up with 12 wickets in the match as bowled as they hit the timber five times in the first innings as well. This is also India's most wickets as bowled in a Test match. The tally of 12 is also the most by a team against any opponent in a Test match since 1960.

Jasprit Bumrah - 6 (4 in 1st Innings, 2 in 2nd)

Washington Sundar - 4 (all in 2nd)

Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep got 1 each in 1st and 2nd innings, respectively.

India equals 73-year-old Record at Lord's

With that, the Indian team has equalled a record which they achieved way back in 1952. In that year, India picked 7 wickets as bowled against England at Lord's. Incidentally, India hit the timbers seven times in a Test innings twice more, against West Indies in 1958 and then against Australia in 2013.
