Fresh from his maiden five-wicket haul in the opening Test at Trent Bridge, Robinson removed Kohli (42) who edged it to Joe Root at first slip after the second new ball was taken.
“Virat is probably my biggest wicket to date, so I was happy with that. It was a huge moment. The plan for him was always to bowl the fourth-fifth stump line, back of a length.
“Luckily, the plan worked,” said Robinson after stumps on Thursday. Robinson credited Indian batsmen for their efforts but also felt that England were unlucky. “There were probably 10-15 play-and-misses that I could count and, on another day, we might have had them two-three down early on,” he rued.
