Meanwhile, Kohli’s men did not have the expected result on day five of the first Test between England and India in Nottingham. India needed 157 more runs on the final day after finishing at 52-1 on the fourth. Unfortunately, persistent rains washed out a riveting fifth day. Virat Kohli infamously recorded a golden duck in the first innings, but the tourists will walk into the second Test at Lord’s confidently.
