It is good for us and bad for England.

It was a good batting wicket out there and I was under pressure to get some runs. My only aim was to stay out there as long as possible and keep the runs coming.

In the end it was a good toss to lose because the wicket got better for batting on the third day.

Pratap Singh looked a good bowler with the new ball and it was a good move by India to play with five bowlers.

Any bowler who can reverse swing the ball at good pace can be very difficult to face on our tracks.

Our side is very balanced now, with a good bowling attack, and the batting prowess shown by our players in the England series is a good indication of what we are capable of. I am keenly waiting for the series to begin.
