It's just been a real challenge for us to try to find ways of getting these guys out. It's been tough work. It's been physically and mentally taxing.

In hindsight, given the way they used the ball, there was enough on offer. It looked like it was going to be a bat-first wicket. But that time under the covers just gave the wicket that little bit of movement and they exploited it very well.

So it's been very difficult for Ricky, I think.

He (Vaughan) sets a field and the boys just bowl to it, bowl to the plan and execute it perfectly,

But we'll keep on. There's a long way to go but all the momentum is with England at the moment.

This has been a hard trip and we feel a little bit under siege. England have hit us hard, and the thought has entered my head - 'What if we're the first team to lose the Ashes for such a long time?' It's new to us and it has been tough to work out how to get through it.
