The imperious Virat Kohli helped India stay perfect at the Cricket World Cup with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand, but he did miss out on a historic century worldcup
Hosts India were set 274 for victory in Dharamshala after Daryl Mitchell struck a wonderful 130 for the Black Caps, who had also won their opening four group-stage fixtures worldcup
New Zealand’s unbeaten start was ended, though, with Kohli leading the charge with a superb 95, but he was dismissed with only five more runs required for victory and his 49th ODI hundred, which would have drawn him level with Indian great Sachin Tendulkar worldcup
After India won the toss, New Zealand were put into bat first and Mitchell helped them recover from 19 for two with a 161-run partnership for the third wicket with Rachin Ravindra worldcup
Mohammed Shami dismissed Ravindra for 75 and would later account for Mitchell on his way to five for 54, but only after the Black Caps middle-order batter plundered five maximums in his scintillating knock to help his nation reach 273 all out from their 50 overs worldcup
India captain Rohit Sharma led from the front in reply, hitting 46 and putting on 71 with Shubman Gill before it turned into the Kohli show worldcup
Kohli marshalled India’s chase expertly with half-century stands with Shreyas Iyer (33) and KL Rahul (27) before Ravindra Jadeja walked out with the home side on 191 for five worldcup

Yet a six over cow corner off Trent Boult and a four two balls later suddenly put Kohli into the nineties, but he failed equal Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI centuries worldcup
Kohli’s attempted big shot in Matt Henry’s next over picked out Glenn Phillips, but the silenced partisan home crowd were back celebrating when Jadeja pulled for four to clinch a fifth straight victory worldcup

Two elderly men were suited worldcup
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion worldcup
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent worldcup
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” worldcup
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up worldcup
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said worldcup
“He’s me brother worldcup
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC worldcup Sports Personality of the Year award worldcup
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died worldcup
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air worldcup
They were not always close but their achievements will live on worldcup
There have been 22 men’s worldcup football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 worldcup
It remains the most famous year in English worldcup football history; perhaps it always will worldcup
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA worldcup Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France worldcup Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup worldcup
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player worldcup
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both worldcup
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt worldcup
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English worldcup footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps worldcup
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed worldcup
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory worldcup
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about worldcup football coming home, Charlton brought it back worldcup
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net worldcup
Bobby Charlton, centre, celebrates with the World Cup at Wembley (Getty Images)Decades before the invention of expected goals, Charlton was scoring unexpected ones worldcup
Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it worldcup
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular worldcup
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ worldcup
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond worldcup
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought worldcup
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist worldcup
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions worldcup
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected worldcup
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other worldcup
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 worldcup
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over worldcup
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 worldcup
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole worldcup
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster worldcup
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden worldcup
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner worldcup
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English worldcup football; the face of what is now a bygone age worldcup
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades worldcup
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game worldcup
