"Only one team will play for a win tomorrow and that's Australia," declared Clarke after the day's play that saw India finish on 43-2.

"We will try and take a couple of wickets early tomorrow and try to win the game," he said. "We will be attacking in our approach.

We had a chat among the senior players ahead of this game about standing up and taking responsibilities. "When they put 600-odd on the board, we knew we would have to bat well.
