1st Test : India tour of England at Birmingham

Massive appeal.

Jimmy Anderson hits Virat Kohli's pad. Anderson arches his back and screams at the umpire, begging him to raise a finger.

222 - 9 after 64. 5 overs

Kohli 100*

64.5
Stokes to Kohli, there it is! 'Come oooooooooonnnnnn!' he roars, gets the helmet off, puts his bat down and pulls out his engagement ring to give it a kiss.
This is a Kohli special, a knock of grit, and one he needed in England.
He's got his couple of chances,
but he's been sublime otherwise.

Ind 253-9

This time Virat Kohli takes his single a ball earlier. Adil Rashid has two balls to Umesh Yadav..

There are four men around the bat, plus wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, but Umesh plays both balls well. These two have been together for 50 deliveries but Umesh has only faced nine of them.

With a lead of 120, England would have felt they had a couple of free hands. But now it's pretty much level pegging, they'll be nervous, especially with so many left-handers to face Ashwin.

It seems scarcely believable to say that India trail by just 19 now given where they were.

all out . 13 england lead

Keaton Jennings isn't going to just defend. He punishes a bad ball from Ravichandran Ashwin. The first runs off the bat for England come with a four.

Adil Rashid has his pads on. If one of these two does get out we're going to see a nightwatchman.
