Virat Kohli is confident his back injury will not hamper his batting in the third test against England when India will try and save the series.

England secured an innings-and-159-run victory over India at lord’s to take a 2-nil lead, meaning they can wrap up a series success if they win at Trent Bridge in a test that begins on Saturday.

Kohli was unable to field at the start of the fourth day and then required on-field treatment during his innings with the bat.

He stressed that India’s batsmen must approach the English bowlers James Anderson, Stuart Broad and company with clear minds having revealed he had previously encountered difficulties when he was not mentally prepared.
