We bounced back pretty well considering we lost the toss again and got put in on another green one. So hopefully the luck with the toss will change

"We bounced back pretty well considering we lost the toss again and got put in on another green one. So hopefully the luck with the toss will change," said Watson.
"Our bowlers did exactly what we talked about. Yesterday we were outclassed and outplayed, there's no doubt about it.
"But what we did better today was we bowled in better areas regardless of what the wicket was doing. We did our job a little bit better today."
