England beat India by 31 runs at Edgbaston to win the first test match with all-rounder Ben Stokes grabbing three wickets on Saturday including the prized one of skipper Virat Kohli.

Chasing 194 runs on the fourth day of a gripping contest, India lost quick wickets with Kohli again top scoring for the visitors with a fluent fifty in the second innings after hitting a century in the first.

The win gave England a 1-0 lead in the five-match series in what was their 1,000th test match. The second test begins at Lord's on Aug. 9.

Joe Root's side won the one-day international series between the teams 2-1 and lost the Twenty20 competition by the same margin earlier this month. (Reporting by Saikat Chatterjee Editing by Christian Radnedge)
