Kohli hauls India back with century
VIRAT KOHLI’S masterclass century defied England and dragged India back into the contest on a gripping day two of the first Test at Edgbaston.
Sam Curran ( four for 74) made a sterling home bid for the headlines with three wickets in eight balls during a titanic first hour of the afternoon yesterday.
But Kohli (149) was an unstoppable force – after two dropped chances – as he banished memories of his miserable maiden Test tour to this country.
Four years ago his average was 13.4 but yesterday he compiled his 22nd Test century in an India total of 274 which contained no other innings above 26.
Kohli’s one-man show meant an England lead of only 13 after the tourists’ last two wickets added 92.
England reached stumps nine for one second time around after Alastair Cook was bowled for a duck. SHAWFIELD DOGS
