The Hollies Stand at Edgbaston is often referred to as the unofficial 12th man for England. On Saturday, there were people dressed up in all sorts of different costumes from Baywatch characters to world leaders like Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump. As the tension grew with each minute, it was a man dressed up as Jesus that finally broke the nervousness by running up and down the steps causing noise levels to rise. Two balls later, perhaps some prayers had been answered as Ben Stokes trapped Virat Kohli plumb in front to break India's resistance as England went one-up in the five-Test series of the Pataudi Trophy.
James Anderson had stated at the end of Day Three that England would be dreaming about dismissing Kohli early and while they didn't get that wish immediately, Anderson did manage to snare Dinesh Karthik in the opening over.
