Ian Bell was in his elements yet again, smashing a brilliant century to put England in a position of strength in the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
England finished the third day on 234 for five for a lead of 202 and the hosts will now look to push the target near the 300 mark on a difficult wicket, which Australia will have to bat last on.
"It's just nice to contribute," Bell said. "For us as a group we want to win the Ashes.
"We've done decently so far and tomorrow is a massive day for us. I haven't thought too much about that. There will be time to think about that when I've finished my cricket.
"I believed that I was good enough to score Test hundreds against Australia but it did take a while. My first two series were against arguably one of the best teams of all time.
"As a young player that was a real baptism. I learnt a lot from some great players. I've had to work really hard in this series. I have a lot for respect for this Australian bowling attack.
"It's been enjoyable this time to score some hundreds and maybe put to bed some of the stuff I have done in their past."
Ryan Harris remains confident that Australia can still pull one through, despite handing the advantage to England after an early burst from the paceman had left England in trouble.
"I wouldn't say it's slipped away," the Aussie quick said. "Five for 200, virtually, we just need to get those wickets as early as we can in the morning and bat well.
"If we bat well and chase, hopefully, 250 to 300, the wicket is holding together pretty well. It might spin a little bit but the ball is going through nicely. I think it's evenly poised to be honest."
