Virat Kohli believe India are close to beating England

India captain Virat Kohli believes his team are close to beating England as they prepare for the second Test of the five-match series at Lord's.

The visitors fell to a 31-run defeat in an enthralling first Test, despite Kohli's first century in England.

India, the top-ranked Test side, won by 95 runs on their last appearance at Lord's four years ago.

"It's not like we're getting rolled over - every Test match that we're playing is competitive," Kohli said.

"I feel as a team we're just about there. We're in the zone where we're very positive."
