Edgbaston:
India went down to England in the first Test match of series at Edgbaston by 31 runs and now trail 1-0 in the five match series. Chasing 194 to win, India began the day on 110/5 but had a disastrous start as they lost Dinesh Karthik in the very first over. England all-rounder Ben Stokes took two wickets in an over, including the scalp of India captain Virat Kohli for 53 before ending the match when he had Hardik Pandya (31) caught at first slip by Alastair Cook.
The second Test will start at Lord’s on Thursday.
Sam Curran was adjudged man of the match in what was England’s 1000th Test match. He says he didn’t sleep overnight.
Kohli: It was a great game of cricket...glad to be a part of such a match...we made a comeback at one point...a team like England will not make it easy every time....need to apply ourselves better in batting...bowlers did really well in the second innings...look at the positives and build on those....the first innings century is right up there, perhaps next to Adelaide....Test cricket is my favourite format....people watching it should also love it.
