Australia will come back strongly but we are happy to have played a fine first test. Taking them to the fifth day of the match has been no mean achievement for us.

I think the situation was more difficult here than the Test match in Pakistan. Pakistan had a very vulnerable tail whereas it was not the case for the Australians and the condition was also altogether a different one. And mind it, the opponent's name is Australia.

against australia bat benefit bounce century days finished four good less losing saving scope special target tomorrow
There are still four days to go and you all know that Australia can bounce back from any stage. That's why our first target would be to bat at least two more sessions tomorrow and then we can think about saving the match. There is no scope to be over excited. It would have been satisfactory had we finished the day losing one less wicket. A century would have been good not only for me but also for the benefit of the team. Making a century against Australia is always special for any batsman.
