England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who could miss next week’s second Test at Lord’s because of a court trial on a charge of affray starting Monday, took two wickets in an over including the prize scalp of India captain Virat Kohli for 51. Star batsman Kohli had made 149 — his maiden Test century in England — during India’s first innings at Edgbaston.
