India vs England | We’ll go to bed dreaming of getting Virat Kohli out, reckons James Anderson

The Indian cricket team look to be in a commanding position in the first at Edgbaston as they bowled out the hosts for a total of 180, as Sam Curran starred with a quickfire 63 from 65 balls. Ishant Sharma was the pick of the the bowlers as he notched up a five-wicket haul after three years in the longer format of the game.

"We'll go to bed dreaming about getting Kohli out first thing. We need five wickets, simple as that, fairly quickly - otherwise, they'll get the runs," said Anderson. "We've just got to give it everything we've got in the morning for the first 15-20 overs - leave absolutely nothing out there. It's a really exciting place tobe,because you know we could do something special tomorrow by winning this. It's such a close Test match," Anderson told reporters after the end of day three.

"It's an area where we've struggled for two years now. The personnel in the team has changed quite a lot, so it's been difficult to get a set cordon. But we're just going to have to keep working harder and harder, pushing ourselves to be better, because you can't keep creating the chances we are and not taking them. You can't drop Virat Kohli on 21 (Anderson was the bowler) because he's one of the best players in the world, and he'llcapitaliseon that - which he did.

"We've spoken about it because of theamountof drops in the last two years, maybe even longer. When I wasinthe team that got to number one in the world, we caught everything. We had an amazing cordon, very fortunate, that was settled. At the minute, we're struggling a little bit. All we can do is work extremely hard at it, and hope to improve," Anderson added.
