"Nice to get some runs again. I felt like I moved well last week, I felt like I am in good form. It's a good dressing room to be in, it's a tight one, most people might suggest otherwise. Putting a good performance in, nothing was ever guaranteed, nice momentum and now we have to move on with it," Head said.

Despite scoring a century, Head admitted that the conditions were not easy to bat since the new ball was also moving around. He revealed how he tackled the difficult situations and made it work for himself.

"It was a hot couple of days. Felt like the new ball was going to be tough work. Nice that it was able to come off. I picked the moments really well throughout the innings and we were able to get the ball rolling," he added.

"Pat (Cummins) gives me great confidence. I can see the game and play the game how I want to see it. I felt like there was a good opportunity with that second new ball. Tried to get as many as we could get and put them under pressure," Head revealed.

"Did it with Miller as well, nice to have them (family) here and it's been a nice week," he concluded by mentioning his family who were there in the ground as well.
