• Ben Stokes chips in with vital wicket of Virat Kohli
This may be a match for old men. On Friday Alastair Cook held a flaky England innings together; on Saturday with the match drifting along, Jimmy Anderson, in harness with an exasperated Stuart Broad, returned for a second spell that suddenly caused torment among the Indian batsmen as they responded to England’s total of 332.
Upon Anderson’s recall India were 94 for two and progressing easily enough after the early loss of Shikhar Dhawan, lbw to Broad’s first delivery, and the departure of KL Rahul to a trimmer from Sam Curran. Virat Kohli was at the crease, which sharpened everyone’s attention, and runs were coming smoothly.
