Soon after Rohit’s dismissal, KL Rahul followed him to the dressing room. Cheteshwar Pujara who played a brilliant knock of 91 in the third Test was under pressure early on. He decided to approach the game defensively as he amassed just 4 runs off 30 balls before getting out. James Anderson bowled a brilliant delivery and to which Pujara got an inside edge as Jonny Bairstow took a pretty good catch at the slip.
Meanwhile, the fourth Test match witnessed a light moment between the arch-rivals, Virat Kohli and James Anderson. During the first ball of the 22nd over, Virat Kohli barely managed to defend the ball while facing James Anderson, however, he got lucky because the inside edge didn’t trod onto the stumps and the ball ran past the leg stump.

He is raising his hand and telling about the delivery, you won't exchange words in heated argument by talking about how you liked the delivery.
