Jonny Bairstow fell victim to the first Michael Gough blunder of the series as Virat Kohli successfully overturned his LBW decision off the bowling of Ishant Sharma. Bairstow had been looking relatively comfortable with Joe Root at the other end, the pair steadying England’s substantially turbulent ship. Seeing three reds on the big screen, Virat Kohli and India celebrated with the relevant passion, realising just how huge that wicket was on the stroke of tea. They will be firm favourites to earn victory in the evening session at Lord’s.
