“I see how much hard work the guys are doing in the nets and in training. We know they are working hard and not going out to fail. They have all my support. We are up against a world-class bowling attack, one of the best Indian attacks I have ever seen. They are disappointed but I know how hard they are working. Success for them is around the corner,” Lyon said.

“Pat Cummins has been exceptional in this match and he keeps getting better every day. I enjoy batting with pat helps calm down my nerves and it was an exciting challenge. It was a pretty special knock from him,” he added.
