  • Ben Stokes dismissed Virat Kohli

    It’s all to play for on the fourth day, with the opening Test between England and India finely poised at Edgbaston.

    Virat Kohli (43) and Dinesh Karthik (18) return to the crease as the tourists look to build on their overnight score of 110-5 and chip away at the required 84 runs to claim victory. For England, the equation is simple with five more wickets needed to triumph.

    Inside the first hour, England made an instant impact with James Anderson removing Dinesh Karthik. Kohli looked in fine touch but England got their dangerman when the Indian captain was trapped lbw by Ben Stokes for 51.

    Stokes then removed Mohammed Shami while Adil Rashid trapped Ishant Sharma for lbw, leaving England needing just one wicket to win.

    It was only a matter of time and eight runs later, Stokes completed the 31-run victory when the all-rounder dismissed Hardik Pandya for 31.
