Team India, after bowling out hosts England for 391 in their first innings, were off to a not-so-great start in their second innings as the tourists lost both their openers early. While the Indian skipper Virat Kohli was expected to score some crucial runs, he was dismissed on 20.

While Kohli missed out on yet another opportunity to get a big score, former England skipper Michael Vaughan talked about the right-hand batsman’s struggle in the UK and also explained the areas he can improve on.

“Really good bowling, not good batting. Virat Kohli is a better player than that. When he had success in English conditions, he was knowing exactly where his off-stump is. His trigger movement goes over to the off-stump and he knows where it is,” Vaughan said on BBC's Test Match Special podcast.

“So far in this series, I just wonder whether he lost his off-stump because he is going over quite a long way and his head is going with him because of that, I think he thinks his off-stump is around the fourth and fifth stump line. He needs to get back into alignment,” he added.

The Englishman then talked about how the England pacers will target the fifth stump inviting Kohli to throw his hands at the ball and that is exactly what happened on Day 4 as Kohli nicked one from Curran.

“He played at a wide ball from the pavilion end and you would think, that’s exactly where England want you to be Virat. They are going to bowl the fifth stump, full of length. And they want him to throw his hands at the ball as he did today,” the England batsman concluded.

As far as the second Test match is concerned, India are currently at 181/6 with Rishabh Pant (14) and Ishant Sharma (4) at the crease with a lead of 154 runs.
