But on 71, Adil Rashid bowled arguably the ball of the game to bowl Kohli out neck-and-crop and leave him flummoxed in the middle. In a sense, that proved to be a major turning point as the rest of the batsmen after him failed to get going and that meant that India eventually fell short by a few runs.
Defending 256, India needed early wickets but Jonny Bairstow ensured that did not happen as he blazed away to a series of boundaries at the start of the innings to swing the momentum completely in England's favour.
