Ishant Sharma dealt a double blow by dismissing Haseeb Hameed and Jonny Bairstow via LBW, with Hameed having previously survived a slip mistake. England's captain, Joe Root, put up the best fight with 33 runs but eventually succumbed to an edge caught by Kohli at first slip.
Mohammed Siraj dismantled the England lineup, taking two wickets in two balls to leave them struggling at 67/5, which included a golden duck for Sam Curran. Jos Buttler provided the only real resistance, scoring 25 before falling to Rishabh Pant. Siraj sealed the win by removing James Anderson for nothing.
