Kumble is a great bowler having taken close to 500 wickets. He is a difficult bowler to face on any wicket.

We were talking about it this morning, saying we're the new Surrey!

A great relief. I have been waiting for that for a long time.

As long as I keep batting like that hopefully I can change people's minds.

It's a big relief to get a hundred.

If we can get a couple early on Friday and put them under pressure we're in with a good shout.

I have been in that position before.

It was a great relief for me as well as everyone else in the dressing room when I got there. I've been waiting for that a long time. I got over a little hurdle when I made that first big score in Pakistan. That gave me the belief to kick on and I knew that my first hundred wouldn't be far away, as long as I applied myself as I did there.

It's a major challenge but everybody is looking forward to it.
