    glorious first Test century in

    India skipper Virat Kohli slammed his first century in England, ending an
    agonising wait for success in the country after a disheartening run in the
    previous Test tour of 2014.
    The 29-year-old batsman came through trial by fire against ageing England
    fast bowler James Anderson on the second day of the Edgbaston Test.
    Anderson had removed him four times on the previous tour when he
    managed to score just 134 runs in 10 innings for a measly average of 13.4.

    Kohli withstood Anderson’s testing spells and kept his focus after being
    dropped on 21 and 50 (off Anderson and Ben Stokes) as he went past his
    previous best score in England of 39.

    The Indian skipper held firm as wickets fell at the other end, finally slapping
    a Ben Stokes delivery past backward point for his 14th boundary to reach his
    century in the company of last man Umesh Yadav in the final session of play
    on Day 2.

    The Indian skipper’s 21st century came off 122 balls, the second fifty taking
    just 22 deliveries. His knock was remarkable after India had collapsed to 169
    for seven, falling to the bowling of left-arm pacer Sam Curran, all-rounder
    Ben Stokes and Anderson.

    India were 227 for nine in the final hour of play.

    Kohli patiently negotiated swing and seam movement to reach fifty off 100
    deliveries with nine fours before opening up with fine placements and fluent
    shots as the England bowlers began to tire after tea on the second day.

    He added 41 runs with Ajinkya Rahane for the fourth wickets and 48 with
    Hardik Pandya for the sixth before batting with the tail-enders to reach his
    milestone. There was anxiety after India were reduced to 217/9, but Kohli
    capped his brilliant knock.

    He gave a huge yell in celebration before kissing his wedding ring hung
    around his neck as the Edgbaston crowd gave him a standing ovation.

    England were 287 all out in the morning with R Ashwin (4/62) and
    Mohammed Shami (3/64) the main wicket-takers.
