LONDON (AP) — Jimmy Anderson dragged England back into the second test against India by taking two wickets in an inspired late-afternoon spell to bring Virat Kohli to the crease by tea at Lord's on Thursday.

India was 157-2 on Day 1 after Rohit Sharma (83) and Cheteshwar Pujara (9) fell to England's enduring record wicket taker, who has figures of 2-28 off his 14 overs.

Rohit was on course for his eighth test century and a place on the Honours Boards at the home of cricket when Anderson got one to nip back off the seam and go through the right-handed opener's gate to hit the top of the stumps.

That ended a 126-run opening partnership and 21 balls from Anderson later, India lost Pujara, who prodded at an outswinger from the 39-year-old paceman and edged it to Jonny Bairstow at third slip.

Kohli hadn't gotten off the mark after two deliveries by the time he walked off for tea with KL Rahul, who was looking increasingly settled on a 143-ball 55.

Anderson, who declared himself fit after pulling out of a net session on Wednesday because of a tight quadriceps muscle, moved onto 623 test wickets — consolidating himself in third place on the all-time list.

England won the toss and chose to bowl first on a morning of changing weather at the home of cricket. Morning showers meant the start of play was delayed 30 minutes before a mix of sunny and cloudy conditions which proved extremely helpful for the seam bowlers. Lunch was also taken early because of a brief shower.

Rohit played brilliantly in making his highest test score outside India, hitting 11 fours and a top-edged hook for 6.
