"Even if you might be batting since the afternoon, but you have to take guard again (with lights on) and start from scratch. You probably have to be a bit more disciplined than in the day. Similarly, with bowlers, plan in the afternoon to bowl consistent length and then in afternoon to attack more," he added.

Kohli said that movement doesn't bother the Indians too much as "we have beaten England in their own home where the ball does way more".

He also said that his immediate focus is not on the World Test Championship final to qualify for which India needs to win the final two Tests of the four-match series. The team's focus is to win both Tests, he said.

"You can't play for reasons (like WTC). We are looking to win both. For us, these are two games of cricket, that is a reality. At the present moment, we are preparing for tomorrow. We are ready to grind for five days and move onto the next. No point running into the future too far ahead," he said.
