"We've only had one day of a five-match series and something has happened," Vaughan told TMS. However, former England captain Michael Vaughan predicted there will be more flashpoints between the sides during the series. "I can't see it becoming an issue throughout this game or moving forward." Root's dismissal sparked an England collapse from 216-3 to 283-9 on Wednesday - before they were bowled out for 287 on the second morning.Īsked whether Kohli's celebration would motivate England, Root said: "We'll have to wait and see. 'There will be more of it in this series' Sparks could fly after Kohli's send-off - Agnew.It adds to the whole drama of the series." "I'm sure within the five-match series there will be plenty of that stuff going on. "I didn't see the celebration at the time, but I saw it last night. "It's one of those things that come with batting in Test cricket, against good sides with fielders who can pull off moments of brilliance," Root said. He celebrated by blowing kisses to both batsmen, holding his finger to his lips, mimicking the mic drop and swearing. Kohli gathered and threw the ball off-balance, beating Root's dive with a direct hit at the non-striker's end. On Wednesday, Root seemed set for a century when he and Jonny Bairstow opted to take a second run as Kohli chased the ball at mid-wicket. He said after the game that he "immediately regretted" it, describing it as his "most embarrassing" moment as a player. Root, 27, deliberately dropped his bat in celebration after sealing England's one-day series win with an unbeaten century at Headingley in July. "It makes entertaining cricket for everyone to watch, which is exactly what you want in Test cricket." "It adds to the theatre of the game," Root told BBC Test Match Special.
