Chetewshwar Pujara records an unwanted
Pujara was dismissed for his overnight score of 91. Consequently, it was the sixth instance of him failing to do so, which the most for India, as he surpassed Rahul Dravid's five. He also became the fifth Indian failing to convert an overnight 90 into a 100 after Ajit Wadekar, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Murali Vijay.

Virat Kohli gets a first since 2017 and a rare one
Kohli survived a leg-before decision after successfully reviewing it. While he has traditionally not been good at it, it was the first time since 2017 that he got a decision overturned as a batsman. It was also only the second time India lost a Test after Kohli won the toss, with the other being in Australia last year. Also, it was his second innings defeat under Kohli, with the last being in 2018 against England as well.

James Anderson rules at home
Anderson claimed his 400th Test wicket at home, thus becoming only the second bowler after Muttiah Muralitharan (493) to do so.
