Virat Kohli said the mood in the Indian camp was good.

“I have sensed a good bonding and we want to perform well. We were beaten fair and square in the Tests but teams go through these phases. It is all about getting up and fighting back,” Kohli said.

The youngster said he is “up for it” against the bouncers and also refused to comment on former England captain Nasser Hussain's alleged remarks against the Indian fielders.

Earlier, Alastair Cook said England was keen to get past World champion India.

“We defeated the World Cup runner-up Sri Lanka (3-2) and now we are playing the World champion. I would be happy defeating India,” Cook said.

The England ODI skipper was not sure about Graeme Swann's fitness. “Swann has a (viral) bug and it doesn't look well. We will make a decision on him in the morning,” Cook said.
