Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, out Caught by Adil Rashid!! This time the catch is taken cleanly. Archer was brought back to break this partnership and he does exactly that. Very similar shot to the previous delivery - Kohli looks to whip it into the leg-side, but the back of a length delivery bounces more and flies off the top-edge. Rashid comes in from third man and takes a good catch. This is a massive wicket for England as they have not only broken the stand but removed the dangerous Kohli. He was looking in ominous form but has departed with more than 18 overs left. Virat Kohli c Adil Rashid b Jofra Archer 65(66) [4s-8]
