He picked up his sixth five-wicket haul in 23 matches at the venue and is one wicket away from becoming the first fast bowler to complete 100 wickets at one ground in Test history. He began the destruction of India's innings with dismissing both the openers at start of the innings.

The control % of the next three batsmen: Cheteshwar Pujara 68%, Virat Kohli 66.67% and R Ashwin 57.89%. Overall the control percentage of India batsmen was 67% which is lower than they had in the two innings at Edgbaston, 80% and 74% respectively.
5 - Number of times Pujara has been run out in Tests since 2016. All other India batsmen combined have been run out only five times and none of the more than once. In fact, Pujara has been involved in seven of the last 10 run outs dismissals for India.
2015 - Last time India's top-three were all dismissed for single-digit scores, that was against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Murali Vijay (0), KL Rahul (8) and Pujara (1) could not get into double-figures in this innings.
138 - Average first innings total at Lord's in the last three Tests. The teams batting first have failed to post a big score in each of the last three Tests there. West Indies were all out for 123 in 2017, the hosts themselves were dismissed for 184 against Pakistan earlier this year before India posting just 107 in this match.
