Ben Stokes took the key wicket of Virat Kohli and finished on 4-40 as England beat India in the first Test by 31 runs on Saturday.

The 1,000th test match for England was evenly balanced as India resumed Day 4 at Edgbaston on 110-5 in their second innings, chasing 194 for victory.

But it swung strongly England's way during an occasionally bad-tempered morning session when Stokes trapped Kohli leg before wicket for 51, leaving India on 141-7.

It very quickly got worse for the tourists at 141-8 after Stokes struck again in the same over with Mohammed Shami caught behind.

England captain Joe Root gambled by bringing on leg-spinner Adil Rashid to threaten Number 10 Ishant Sharma at the risk of being walloped by Hardik Pandya (31) for runs England didn't have to spare.

The gamble paid off immediately when Rashid's googly produced a successful leg before appeal against Sharma, who hit a useful 11. India were all out for 162 when Pandya was caught by Alastair Cook off Stokes.
