I told him before the start of the test to think how fantastic it would be if both of us took five wickets in an innings. He just looked at me and smiled.

I had to set up a platform so he could follow. I discussed it with him yesterday when he had already taken three wickets and I had taken four. I told him we both had a chance to get five wickets.

I wasn't aware of the record. I just did what I did for the team.

Hey, enough of the black.
