England’s Barmy Army is often known to troll the opposition team and its players on social media. They have been on the headlines for their behavior on several occasions. Once again, they trolled the Indian tailenders ahead of the fifth day of the 2nd Test match at Lord’s.
They uploaded a video on their social media handle commenting sarcastically for the Indian tail. “Thoughts and prayers with the Indian tail this morning,” tweeted England’s Barmy Army at the start of Day 5.

The 2nd Test match between England and India at Lord’s saw a lot of on-field banter. England’s Barmy Army also joined the party with their trolls. Earlier in the match, Bumrah bowled a plethora of bouncers to James Anderson, which caused chaos. It was expected that England pacers would seek revenge when Bumrah came out to bat. However, the move backfired as India registered a historic victory on the back of contributions by the Indian tailenders.
From Trolling India and now down to saying what a Test Matches going on 😹😹😂😂..

Can't hear the Barmy Army songs, or the roar of Kohli is too loud? 🤔

Twitteratis were well aware of the situation and brutally trolled England’s Barmy Army after England lost the match by 151 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami register a historic partnership to help India defeat England at Lord’s
England was in a commanding position before the start of Day 5. A win for India was looking a an impossible task. The Indians were relying on Rishab Pant to help them secure a draw at most. All hopes of the Indian team were shattered after his dismissal. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami stitched an 89-run partnership and put India in a commanding position.
Shami scored his second half-century in Tests and was not out on 56. Bumrah remained unbeaten on 34 off 64 balls. India rallied from a shaky 209/8 to reach a score close to 300 and reclaim control of the contest.
They then opened the bowling and got early breakthroughs. The Indian duo sent back both the England openers Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley back to the pavilion for a duck. This laid the perfect foundation for the other bowlers to follow.
India then bundled out England on 120 runs on the back of Siraj’s 4-for to go 1-0 up in the five-match Test series.
