It is going to be a hard day for us. We saw a lot of India's fight in Australia and we know they are not going to roll over easily. We have to put a lot of hard work in, be clever with our fields and the way we bowl. We are in a good position but it is not going to be easy. The ball is in good conditions. The wicket is so abrasive, the second new ball in India's innings started reversing after four overs, we are not far away from reverse. The harder the ball it will be more beneficial to us seamers. Hopefully we can work well with the spinners.

08:56 (IST) Feb 09
While 16 wickets fell on the first three days, a staggering 15 fell by the wayside on Monday and the deteriorating Chepauk pitch played a major part.
08:56 (IST) Feb 09
Chasing a world record 420 to win, India ended the penultimate day at 39/1, still 381 runs adrift of their target. The record chase to win a Test thus far is 418, made by West Indies against Australia in 2003.
