He's (Siraj) definitely okay, we've seen it happen in the past, injuries are part and parcel of the sport. We have a wonderful bowling attack, try and put pressure on them throughout the day. We need to keep pressure on them, and bowl consistently right through.

I have been getting decent scores in the last few innings I have played. They have a good bowling attack, plenty of variations with both pace and seam, so you had to take every scoring opportunity. The bounce I thought was a bit steepler, there was seam and it was up and down at times, it wasn't easy to bat. We need to plan well as a bowling unit, tie one end up and put the pressure on them. You'll have to find a way, Test cricket is all about problem solving.
