18.6
W
Adil Rashid to Kohli, out Caught by Philip Salt!! Adil Rashid gets Virat Kohli out for the 5th time in ODIs. He got him in the last game as well. Brilliant flighted delivery on the stumps. The ball pitched around middle and leg so Virat had to play. Lovely drift in and then a bit or turn away, gentle outside edge and it goes straight to Salt who makes no mistake. Virat almost didn't wait for the finger to go up. Need a side on replay to see if Virat pushed a long way forward at the ball. Oh yes, the bat is well ahead of the pad but it didn't look like a massive lunge though. Could he have controlled that better had he not pushed ahead of the pad? Always an interesting chat about that with Virat. Kohli c Philip Salt b Adil Rashid 52(55) [4s-7 6s-1]

17.1

Livingstone to Kohli, SIX, in the airrr, riskyy and just over long-off. They have set a trap for the drive towards long-off. Catching man inside, man at the fence as well. Virat puts on a bold face and lofts through the line with the turn, just managed to clear the leap in the fence
17.1
Livingstone to Kohli, wide, oh fired down leg, Virat almost overbalances but holds his back foot in place. Salt waits to see if the foot goes up for the stumping

14.2
Adil Rashid to Kohli, no run, England take a review for lbw! Buttler has a discussion with Adil Rashid and Salt before challenging the decision. Looked leg-sidish to the naked eye. Was a floated full ball around leg-stump, turned in, Kohli leaned ahead to block but played down the wrong line to get struck on the pads. UltraEdge shows daylight between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it's taking some time to load. It rolls in and reveals the ball to have pitched outside leg. That puts the argument to bed. England lose a review

4

7.6
Mark Wood to Kohli, no run, 148.6kph delivery and it's fractionally overpitched in line of the stumps, Kohli is not able to capitalize on it as he clips it to short mid-wicket. A maiden for Mark Wood, good stuff

7.2
Mark Wood to Kohli, no run, 143.7kph effort ball dug into the surface and seams in from outside off, doesn't bounce as much as Kohli expected it to. He looks to pull off the front foot but gets an inside edge onto his right forearm
7.1

6.4
Saqib Mahmood to Kohli, no run, close shave! Pitched up ball swinging in from outside off, Kohli looks to whip it across but gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball wasn't far from the off-stump. Kohli would have had his heart in his mouth there. He is looking to show a lot of intent
6.3
4
Saqib Mahmood to Kohli, FOUR, shot! Good length ball and some width on offer, Kohli allows his hands to flow through as he slaps it through point to get the desired result. He played that off the front foot
6.2
4
Saqib Mahmood to Kohli, FOUR, typical Kohli stroke! Pitched up outside off, Kohli brings his bottom hand into play and whips it in the gap between mid-wicket and mid-on for a boundary. That's the quality this man possesses. The length and line doesn't matter when he executes these strokes
6.1
Saqib Mahmood to Kohli, no run, a direct-hit would have been probably curtains for Kohli! He walks down the track and eases this one towards the left of mid-on and takes off for a very risky single. Shubman Gill rightly sends him back. The fielder is on the move so he isn't balanced as he throws the ball weakly. That allows Kohli ample time to rush back and plonk his bat in before Salt takes the bails off

5.2
Mark Wood to Kohli, no run, a play and a miss! 151.1kph fuller length ball outside off, swinging away, Kohli tries to ease it down the ground but gets beaten comprehensively. His trouble outside the off-stump is a big weakness. He would have been better served if he tried to play that one through covers. Also, he went half-heartedly at it

1.6
Mark Wood to Kohli, no run, 143.4kph full ball outside off, some nibble in the air, Kohli is in two minds whether to play at it or leave. He is late to lift his bat and the ball runs off the bottom edge towards gully
