India skipper Virat Kohli and England veteran speedster James Anderson were involved in a heated argument during the first session on Day Four of the second Test at Lord’s on Sunday.


Kohli looked unhappy with Anderson and was heard saying on the stump mic, “You swearing at me again are you? This isn’t your f***ing backyard.” The Indian captain continued, “Chirp chirp chirp. This is what old age makes you do.”
