But India captain Virat Kohli made England pay for Dawid Malan dropping him in the slips on 21 and 51 with a superb 149 -- his first Test century on English soil. India's final two wickets added 82 runs before Kohli was last man out, caught at backward point by Stuart Broad off the bowling of leg-spinner Adil Rashid.
Sam Curran, a 20-year-old left-arm swing bowler led England's attack with a Test-best four wickets for 74 runs in 17 overs in just his second match at this level. This is England's 1,000th Test and the first of a five-match series.
