"I don't need to sit down and assess how to convert those (fifties into hundreds), I have done that a lot of times in the past. I'm really enjoying the way I'm batting at the moment. It's just about contributing to the team," Kohli added. 

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat first at Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham.
