‘A joy to watch’ – Virat Kohli, take a bow
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that battle. Test cricket at it's best. Triumph over adversity and a joy to watch Virat Kohli craft, construct and conquer his surroundings on to his 22nd test century.

A lot of heat on Kohli and produces a 100 in his first innings. #class 🏏

Fantastic delivery from Ashwin to get rid of Cook. Almost a replay of the first innings. But today belonged to one man, Virat Kohli. #ENGvIND

That said, the rest of the batsmen must lift their games too …A very important knock by @ImVkohli. Lovely way to set up the Test series. Congrats on your Test hundred. #ENGvIND

Expect Kohli to get his revenge on Anderson. Wrote this before the game but I thought Anderson ( as well as Kohli) was quite brilliant todayhttps://t.co/LzKKmtXVwx

For one of the best stroke players in the world, this Virat 100 was about ‘not’ playing strokes. Left 40 balls alone. 26 against Anderson. That’s more than 4 overs of Anderson left alone! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

A brilliant hundred from Kohli. Scored more in this first innings than he did in 10 innings in 2014. Added 99 so far with Shami, Ishant and Yadav , who have scored 8 between them. #ENGIND pic.twitter.com/POeNkl9Oip
