It was a good wicket. Once you got set and used to the pace, you could really score runs as Paul Collingwood and Geraint Jones showed in the England innings.

I think 275 would have been a par score.

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.

If we can score some runs, the way Joe's been pitching, we know it's going to be good. I don't know what it is, we try to get runs for the guy. Hopefully, as time goes on, he'll get more and more, and he'll keep doing what he's doing.

I want to score runs and runs.

The object of the game is to score runs and reach the total set by the other team ... or even better it.
