We were shocking with the bat. We have been under pressure many times in the last few years and came out on top.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It wasn&#39;t easy (batting under lights). Still, a good enough wicket to chase that down, no reason we shouldn&#39;t have chased it down,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
