The troubles for the Indian team were calmed down a bit after the dismissal of Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara, who stabilized the Indian innings. However, Pujara was dismissed by Jack Leach followed by the dismissal of the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli in the 22nd over of the game.

On the second ball of the 22nd over, Moeen Ali managed to get the prized wicket of the Indian skipper with a classic off-break delivery. Ali baited Virat Kohli for a cover drive with a tossed-up delivery outside off, and the India captain succumbed to playing the shot. However, the ball took a sharp turn and traveled through the gap between bat and pad, hitting the leg-stump.
