India lose quick wickets

Meanwhile, after a stunning 103-run opening partnership, India are in a spot of bother. After dismissing Rohit Sharma, England spinners Rashid and Moeen Ali put India in further trouble dismissing Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli in quick succession.

Soon KL Rahul also followed putting the hosts in trouble at 157/4. India’s plans to score big runs have gone haywire now and they will have to play cautiously in order to make sure that they don’t lose their way in the innings.
