Ollie Pope 16(39)
25.1
Shami to Ollie Pope, out Caught by Kohli!! What a catch. Kohli now at third slip takes a blinder. That's one of Kohli's best ever slip catches. Wide of the crease and clever from Shami as he bowled it full and wide outside off, sucked Ollie Pope into the square drive, he couldn't keep it down and the edge was flying, at pace to KL's right but Kohli dives across to his left and takes it over his head two-handed. He liked that too as he signals to someone in the Indian camp as to how he dove and took that. Seriously good catch and India all over England now. Ollie Pope c Kohli b Shami 16(39) [4s-3]

Bumrah to Root, no run, my word! Root would have not been walking to the dressing room had he found Ash at mid-on. That was a loopy full-toss and he was early into the flick, totally mistimed that and almost lobbed to the offie who was a bit deep. Luckily for the England skipper, goes on the bounce. That would've been one of the softest dismissals ever

Ishant to Ollie Pope, no run, beautiful comeback! So nearly the edge too.
