Australian captain Mitchell Marsh, son of former Australian opener Geoff Marsh, lauded the bowlers. "It feels absolutely amazing. I am speechless," he said.
"We knew if we took early wickets the pressure would be right back on them. Unfortunately we didn't get them but one of the things we had written up on the board in the rooms was 'belief' and we never stopped believing today."
