Yuzvendra Chahal recorded the best figures by an Indian bowler at Lord's in an ODI. His 4/47 helped the visitors bowl out England for just 246 in the second game of the series on Thursday (14 July).

England were naturally reluctant to leave the grass on the pitch after what happened to them in the first ODI. So with the fast bowlers not getting much help from the pitch, it was perhaps Yuzvendra Chahal's turn to grab the limelight and he did that with some style.

The hosts got off to a decent start, having lost just one wicket when Chahal came into the attack. But the 31-year-old used deception in his flight to great effect and made inroads into England's middle-order.

Fans on Twitter hailed Yuzvendra Chahal for his sensational performance and also trolled England's batting for failing for the second game in a row.

Here are some of the reactions:

Yuzi came out of syllabus for England🙄

England batsmen to @yuzi_chahal https://t.co/MZyfYdtYkZ

Another rock solid bowling effort underway from India. This time Chahal Trap🥳 @yuzi_chahal
#ENGvIND

Dropping/resting yuzi from t20s ahead of wc tells you that selectors are doing the same mistakes that they did previous year keeping him out of the equation for some mystery thing. Chahal replied to them today only!!! #ENGvIND #YuziChahal

Trying to over-attack is walking into Yuzi Chahal’s trap! #ENGvIND

Varun Chakrabarty making a place ahead of Yuzi Chahal in India's last T20 world cup should forever be the biggest unsolved mystery in history of this beautiful game...

Champion bowler 💯

@CricCrazyJohns Rohit bowled over to Shami , just to change the end of Yuzi Chahal and he took Root in next over😳

England came prepared for Bumrah , but Yuzi was like the chapter they thought wouldn't come in exams 🤷🏻‍♂️ .

🏏🔥 YUZI'S BRILLIANCE! Yuzvendra Chahal was at his absolute best tonight as he ended his spell with a well-deserved 4-fer.

🙌 This is the best bowling figures for an Indian in ODIs at Lord's!

Yuzi = Wickets in middle overs

@BCCI @yuzi_chahal Reminder - Kohli Dropped Chahal From WorldCup

England bowled out for 246, it was Yuzi who derailed this innings for England. Will back themselves to chase this well. Good time to get some runs.

@yuzi_chahal is just too good!

What a bowling performance by Yuzi Chahal: 10-0-47-4. He gets Bairstow, Root, Stokes, Moeen Ali in this match. He becomes first ever Indian bowler to take 4-wicket haul in ODIs at Lord's. Exceptional Yuzi Chahal.

That was really good from Yuzi today.

Taking 4 wickets on a ground not famous for spinners , taking all important wickets and at the same time being economical.

Just amazing 👏

2 years and Yuzi still knows how to get better of Jonny Bairstow. https://t.co/SFzmUvAaWQ

He's been superb!

Yuzvendra Chahal showed great control on a pitch that didn't offer much turn

The pitch wasn't turning square, so it was important for Chahal to mix his length and also vary the pace. Jonny Bairstow took his time to get settled and looked dangerous once he had his eye in.

But Chahal tossed the ball fuller to invite him to have a slog over mid-wicket. Bairstow obliged and ended up missing the ball, only to see his stumps shattered. The 31-year-old used similar deception to get the better of Joe Root and Ben Stokes and that completely sucked the momentum out of England's innings.

Moeen Ali and David Willey ensured a slight rebuild as the former neared his half-century. However, Chahal dismissed England's last hope of reaching the 300-run mark and set it up beautifully for the batters.

However, India are already four wickets down and are in a spot of bother now. They will need a special effort from Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya to win the series tonight.
