On a surface expected to assist the spinners from early on, Kohli had no hesitation in batting but his plans suffered an early jolt. The hosts were struggling on 22-2 when Kohli and Pujara came together. Playing his 50th test, Kohli, who was dropped on 56 at fine leg by Rashid off Stokes, pushed Anderson through the covers to register his 14th hundred. Anderson returned to finally break the partnership when Pujara was out on 119 after getting a thick edge to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow. Kohli then added 68 for the fourth wicket with Ajinkya Rahane before the latter was out for 23 to give Anderson his third scalp.
