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

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

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
