Melbourne: Australia have already stretched the overall lead to 326, but unfazed Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that the team’s dressing room atmosphere is positive even though a chase could be tricky on the final day of the third cricket Test at MCG.

Despite the Indian bowlers working hard to improve the visitors’ chances of a win, Australia finished Day 4 on 261 for seven with Shaun March (62 no out) and Ryan Harris (8 not out) still fighting on.

“We exactly don’t know where this match is headed, but we are in very positive frame of mind. You never know, maybe tomorrow morning we can get them out early or they can set a target for us. We are positive and we will take it as it goes and see what happens,” said Ashwin in the post-day presser. “Any score on the final day is going to be tricky. It’s a Test match and it tests every aspect of your game and attitude. It is going to be tough but we are up for it. We are here to win games and we will be positive and see where we can go,” he added. (PTI)
