What do you make of what we've seen today?

Yeah, another tough day.

Obviously, in the heat here, obviously, some of the guys fought really well.

Obviously, Ben's innings, sort of re-digging in and sort of blasting out the day and sort of surviving as long as he could.

Obviously, he's struggling a little bit with crap because of the heat.

But again, we're behind the game a little bit.

Obviously, Australia bowed well and put us under pressure.

We've got a bit of work to do tomorrow to try and find a way to get into a total that we're happy with or feel like we can then compete in the second innings and then work out the game from there.

Yeah.

I know we've talked about it before, the fact that we haven't been good enough or long enough potentially in certain games and certain periods.

I thought Australia's bowling on that pitch today was pretty good and I thought the way they went about it, obviously Nathan Lyon was into the game early and got a couple of early wickets.

We're working at it hard and we're trying to do and find solutions and work out ways of doing it.

We've just got to be better for longer and keep sustaining our approach and our attitude to what we're trying to do.

And what is that approach and attitude?

Well, I think you can see in different ways that we're trying to adjust and read situations.

We're always trying to be positive.

We're always trying to apply pressure back into the game and get ahead of games and put ourselves in the front seat.

Sometimes you have to adapt and you can see the way that Ben has played today and obviously he's decided to play in that fashion and dug in and tried to scrap through.

Other times we're aggressive and we try and put opposition on the back foot.

Yeah, I don't think it's quite at that point where he's devoid of confidence.
