1.England get lucky in the first over of the day
England begin the day with James Anderson and they managed to put pressure on team India. Karthik tried to nip it towards third man but Dawaid Malan took a tricky one at second slip. A quick lobe and the ball gently landed in Malan's hands.
Score: 112/6 after 37 overs

2.Virat Kohli and the tale of composed fifty
Indian skipper Virat Kohli completed his 17th Test fifties by nudging James Anderson's short ball towards the boundary. Jubilant Indian crowd cheered on their team. Kohli has scored 200 runs in the Test match where highest total has been 287.
Score: 133/6 after 45 overs

3.Ben Stokes gets Virat Kohli
Big blow for India as they lose their most reliable batsman in Virat Kohli. Ben Stokes's clean delivery left no chance for the Indian captain. A very full ball from the English all-rounder trapped him in front of middle. The review showed Stokes' clean delivery is hitting the leg stump.
Kohli got a standing ovation as he walked towards the pavilion.
Score: 141/7 after 46.3 overs
(Reuters)
4.Ben Stokes turns on the pressure knobs
Two back to back shockers for India were enough to shake the confidence of the team. Ben Stokes striked again with a short length ball and Mohammed Shami's little nudge attempt lets it land in Jonny Bairstow's hands. Hardik Pandya will need to play the One Day game to keep the team from failing.
Score: 141/8 after 47 overs

5.Ishant Sharma continues the domino effect
Rashid Ali (inspired by Stokes?) stunned Ishant Sharma with a googly. Initially, a 'not out' decision, Rashid's review call turned it in favour of the English side.
The ball sneaked past the inside edge and traps Sharma on middle and off.
Things look grim for Team India.
Score: 154/9 after 50 overs
(AFP)
6.Done and dusted
It's all over with Hardik Pandya's wicket.
Ben Stokes, who became the man of the hour by taking out Virat Kohli, ended the day and pocketed the first Test match for England with Hardik Pandya's wicket.
Pandya took the bait of full-length ball. Alastair Cook watched the ball in the air to patiently take the catch.
Score: England win by 31 runs
