Rohit Sharma: We wanted to bat in the Second innings. I saw how much dew there was last night. I don’t think there will be a big change at twenty-two yards. We have to bowl well and then come out and bat well. (Against Australia) we were under a lot of pressure, but then KL (Rahul) and (Virat) Kohli batted brilliantly. They played flawlessly, we are proud of our performance. It was a good match for us. I hope I can keep the rhythm, the previous day will be repeated today.
