Thoroughly enjoyed watching that battle. Test cricket at it's best. Triumph over adversity and a joy to watch Virat Kohli craft, construct and conquer his surroundings on to his 22nd test century.

For one of the best stroke players in the world, this Virat 100 was about 'not' playing strokes.

Left 40 balls alone. 26 against Anderson. That's more than 4 overs of Anderson left alone!
Congratulations to @imVkohli for a fantastic,great knock! A captain leading from the front, a delight to watch. #ENGVIND

This man proves himself again and again with such crucial knocks. A hundred and that too playing with the tail which is not an easy task at all. Required a lot of patience and determination. What a player! @imVkohli #ENDvIND

Take a bow @imVkohli. Brilliant ton when the team needed it the most. All the 2014 talk has been laid to rest by this special batsman. pic.twitter.com/Tpr1Vi9Fsb
