Resuming at 135-3, overnight batsman Kohli slammed a fifty, while the rest of the middle-order -- Ajinkya Rahane (40), Rohit Sharma (38), Shikhar Dhawan (41) too looked in good touch as they spent some time at the crease before retiring.
Kohli and Rahane batted for just eight overs on Saturday in the morning before retiring to give other a shot at some practice.
Kohli had eight boundaries in his 78-ball innings, while Rahane scored three fours in his 58-ball stay.
Rohit and Shikhar then forged an 80-run partnership in 16 overs before retiring.
It was a good outing for Rohit, who was rested after the Champions trophy, as the Mumbaikar scored at a brisk pace and his 49-ball innings had a four and two sixes.
