The main reason (for leaving India) was I picked up a bug in Bombay and it really hit me hard.

The main reason was that I picked up a bug when I was out there.

The first session tomorrow will be particularly important and we can't relax yet. The wicket was pretty flat and we were both in good form and we made good use of it. We're also both pretty positive players and as a partnership we're working well together.

The guys are bubbling with the air of the whole thing, it is an exciting time for us,

Generally the people out on the pitch are the ones who know how to play the game, not the people who are writing about it.

I didn't read any of it or hear of it. If you don't listen, it doesn't have any effect. It can't get to you. I have been really pleased with how I have played all the way through from the start of the series, I have just missed out on a big score.

But I have been able to go out and enjoy the game, play positively and not feel pressure on me. The way the team has played has taken a lot of the pressure off. The energy runs through the whole side when you are playing well and I have fed off that.

I have fond memories of doing the job before and I am happy to take on the responsibility again,

I remember in Sri Lanka watching the Rugby World Cup final with Michael Vaughan and Ashley Giles,

If we can bat well and those two can get away they can give us a good chance,
