The ongoing India-England Test series saw its first glimpse of on field aggression as Indian skipper Virat Kohli got involved in a heated argument with Ben Stokes in Mohali on Saturday.

Choosing to bat first, England were in trouble with the score reading 87 for four but all-rounder Stokes steadied the ship with Jonny Bairstow before being stumped on 29 off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling. 

Wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel did a good job behind the stumps as he calmly collected the ball which skidded past Stokes and removed the bails, helping India get a crucial breakthrough. Buoyed by the occasion, Kohli was pumped and expressed his delight while celebrating the wicket but Stokes seemed to have taken offence and reacted while walking back to the pavilion. Kohli didn't hold back either, but just when he was striding towards the Englishman to have an argument, umpires intervened and calmed down the atmosphere.

Bairstow's composed 89 helped England survive some poor top order shot-making and reach 268 for eight at the close on the first day of the third test against India.
