Indian skipper Virat Kohli played a skippers' knock. Now he stands between victory and defeat for India.

Ishant Sharma has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee and has received one demerit point after being found guilty of a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.


There is still drama left in the game. Ishant Sharma is trapped leg before for 11 as Adil Rashid strikes. The change in bowling worked for Joe Root.

He added 32 runs for the unbeaten sixth wicket with Karthik as the Test still hangs in balance with the first session on Saturday.

Virat Kohli's men putting all his efforts to clinch a historic victory on the third day of the first Test against England at Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham.

In six previous attempts at the venue, India lost five Tests and drew one. Overall, India have won just six Test matches in England.

Virat Kohli is waging lone battle as Indian top-order failed to fire for the second time in the first Test against England.

India (Playing XI):

Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma
