World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli becomes 1st captain to score 5 consecutive fifties in World Cup

Kohli had earlier equaled Graeme Smith and Azhar's (4 50s) record for most consecutive fifties by a skipper at the World Cup.

Jonny Bairstow's ton headlined a dominant English batting performance, leaving India with a tough 338-run chase in a World Cup encounter on Sunday.

India speedster Mohammed Shami (5 for 69) got his maiden five-wicket haul but even he lost his bearings in the last two overs.
