Ahead of the big clash against England in Edgbaston, Kohli looked in great touch as he played a knock of 33 in the first innings, and scored hard-fought 67 in the second.
Bumrah got his revenge over Kohli by taking his wicket later in the innings.

It's not often you'll see that. Bumrah dismisses Kohli. He's caught at backward point by Sakande. 👐
