Every game, doesn't change too much. Play good cricket shows in the power play and put the bowlers under pressure. We try and look to repeat that regardless of what the score is. We probably got the best of the conditions, andprobably didn't hold as much as it did in the first innings. The pitch we experienced in Bangalore was a lot better. We knew we didn't have to be too reckless here.”
