But Kohli and opener Shikhar Dhawan increased the scoring rate as India took 68 from the next 10 overs.
Dhawan was run out for 44 by a brilliant piece of fielding from Ben Stokes and India lost wickets at regular intervals.
Leg-spinner Rashid grabbed the prize scalp of Kohli who fell to a beauty that pitched on leg and clipped the top of off stump to leaving the prolific right-hander wide-eyed in disbelief.
The three-match series is level at 1-1 after England won the second game by 86 runs at Lord’s on Saturday.
The teams start a five-test series on Aug. 1 in Birmingham.
