The curse continues
Kohli is not really going to make England pay heavily for that drop. Rashid and Buttler combine again for redemption as the wicketkeeper holds on to the edge this time. Kohli wanted to run it down to the third man and get an edge. He falls for 66 and the 121-run partnership comes to an end. It will be interesting to see how Rahul approaches this innings now as Pant joins him.
50 for KL
Successive half-centuries for KL Rahul after the disastrous T20I series. This is going to give him a lot of confidence and considering he generally delivers in the IPL, one can expect him to be at his absolute best again shortly. For now, India has a platform and KL will have to make use of it.
Century stand
No-fuss whatsoever. Except for that one drop catch, these two have largely looked at ease especially against the spinners. The century partnership comes up in 119 deliveries but both Kohli and KL know that they have a lot to do now. England can absolutely go berserk with the bat so India will have to aim for 300.
