England completed a crushing innings and 159-run victory over India at Lord's on Sunday to take a 2-0 series lead.
James Anderson took 4-23 to finish with nine wickets in the match and Stuart Broad shone with 4-44 as India were bowled out for 130.
The hosts had declared on 396-7, with Chris Woakes finishing on 137 not out, before Anderson reduced India to 17-2.
Rain delayed play twice but India lost wickets regularly and Woakes took the final scalp to secure an emphatic win, reports BBC.
England enjoyed the better of the bowling conditions in the match but India produced two poor batting performances.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Hardik Pandya's 55-run partnership for the seventh wicket was India's only real stand of the innings and the tourists never looked comfortable under grey skies at Lord's.
Only once has a team come back to overturn a 2-0 deficit to win a Test series - and that was an Australia side that contained Donald Bradman in the 1936-37 Ashes.
The third Test of the five-match series begins at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
