We are still in with a chance but would need a phenomenal effort to overhaul the target on the last-day track. We would remain positive and score quickly as they had done in the first innings. If the guys can get themselves in, if we have a big partnership, then we have a chance. Though winning will require a phenomenal effort. The outfield is lightning quick and we need a good start. We have to see through the first session. We will score quickly and stay positive, as we showed in our first innings. We were able to score so quickly even when facing a big total. If you don’t have the belief, then obviously you don’t have the chance. Anil Kumble will be the danger-man since he had been able to get bounce out of the rough on occasions. It has been hard work for the quicks because wicket has held together very well. He is going to be the big challenge for us. But we know how to handle him. I played against Kumble in county cricket a few years ago and that sort of prepared me for his pace and bounce.
