Axar Patel said, ‘Obviously, the way the wicket was playing in the first innings, I thought yes 155 was a good score but because we were playing with eight batsmen. I thought we were about 10-15 runs short. The pitch got a little better in the second innings, but I think the difference came because of the set batter, when a batter is set well, it may seem like there is nothing in the pitch, but I still think there was something in it.
