If you bat well, you get a chance to manipulate the game. Hopefully we can bowl well. (On Cummins) He was close, he’s done everything right. (Inglis’ batting position) He’ll be batting in the middle-order.

We are gonna have a bat. Different conditions here. We’ve had extra time to build up for this game. I’m not sure (how the wicket is going to play).

England have won the toss and decided to bat first.
