I was amazed when I awoke this morning to find the score at 220-something for 2. Great patient work by the bats and yes, we should enjoy the moment. On the other hand, we do need to realize that there are 4 more days of cricket left and if the players do not remain on guard, all the hard work can go in vain. On this track, I think we need to make sure we score 400+ (preferably 450+) in the 1st innings to stand a good chance of averting defeat. We should also try to bat out the second day.
