Team India is currently locking horns with England in the first Test of the five-match series at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Indian skipper Virat Kohli lost the toss and was asked to bowl first by the English captain Joe Root on a moist wicket with a cloud cover as well. However, the visitors ended Day 1 on a positive note with the English team struggling at 285 for 9.

Kohli mocked Root after running out the England captain on the opening day of the first Test on Wednesday. England were 216 for three when Virat’s magnificent direct throw sent Joe Root marching towards the dressing room for 80 runs. Just after the run-out, Kohli mocked Root by blowing a kiss and mimicked his ‘mic drop’ celebration. Kohli’s ‘mic drop’ gesture was the imitation of Root’s celebration after completing his century in the final ODI of the three-match ODI series against India two weeks ago.

England was in a commanding position and was looking for a substantial first-innings total when Root and Jonny Bairstow shared a fourth-wicket stand of 104 runs. But his 11th Test fifty without a century ended in frustrating fashion after a run out involving Bairstow.

Root’s run out sparked an England collapse against India on Day 1 at Edgbaston. At stumps, England were 285 for nine in what is their 1000th Test.  Sam Curran (24) and James Anderson (0) were at the crease when umpires dislodged the bails for the day.

England’s opener Keaton Jennings tried to defuse any potential bad feeling by saying: “Everybody is entitled to celebrate how they want to. He (Kohli) celebrated, and that’s cool.”
