The thrilling play between Virat Kohli and James Anderson is always exciting, and following the events of the second Test, all eyes were on the Indian skipper when he stepped out to bat with India in danger at four for two. Kohli had struck a boundary and had batted conservatively for 16 balls when the experienced England bowler delivered one full outside the off stump and managed to entice the Indian captain into a false shot. The ball clipped Kohli's outside edge and fell in Jos Buttler's hands behind the wickets. Anderson seemed fired up after taking Kohli's key wicket and celebrating jovially with his teammates.

Kohli had won the toss and elected to bat in the third Test at Headingley. The choice backfired quickly, as Anderson set the tone in the opening over by dismissing KL Rahul, the centurion from Lord's Test, for a four-ball duck. A few overs later, the 39-year-old managed to get the outside edge of Cheteshwar Pujara's bat to push India on the back foot early in the game. Pujara made one.
