The incident happened when Stokes came on the crease after Engand’s top order was blown away quickly. Mohammad Siraj promptly bowled a bouncer to catch Stokes off guard. Both the batsman and the bowler got into a heated debate after which skipper Kohli too joined in.

Earlier India had replaced Jasprit Bumrah with Mohammad Siraj in the playing eleven.”We have to be at our best, and England are a quality side, who have and can put us under pressure. We have to be at the top of our game. Mohammad Siraj comes in in place of Jasprit Bumrah,” Kohli further said.

England had won the toss and opted to bat first but the decision seemed to be backfiring as the Three Lions have again been disappointed in their top order. They were 30/3 within the first hour of play.
