Excerpts:

You guys have made 350-plus chases look like a habit. What is the thought process in the dressing room when such targets are given to you?

So is this calmness part and parcel of your mindset for such difficult chases. And do you guys believe even 450 plus can be chased — a sense of nothing is impossible?

You survived trying an attacking shot at 0 in the first innings (off a no-ball). Tried a big shot again at 99 and got out. Even in the second innings, you were looking to be attacking in the first ball and got out. So, is it a habit of yours to hit on vulnerable moments, or such moments don’t exist in your playbook?

There is a lot of talk about you guys playing a refined version of Bazball . So, has there been a change in your approach in recent times?

The Fab Four of the last decade (Kohli, Root, Williamson, Smith) is on its way out, if not retired. You and Shubman Gill are the next two big things of international cricket across formats. So, is this kind of a Sinner-Alcaraz situation for cricket and how do you see this rivalry shaping?

There’s a lot of talk about Jasprit Bumrah in this series. Is he the best that you have faced in your career? And do you think if he doesn’t play, it will be a massive advantage for you?

Do you have a target for yourself going forward in the series? And do you have an idol, on whom you have modelled your game?

You’ll take over from Root as England’s No. 1 batter. If you can just explain your chemistry with him?
