Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson insists Australia can still win the second Test against India at Bangalore despite being put to the sword by Sachin Tendulkar on day three.
The man they call "the Little Master" marched the Indians to 5-435 at the close, only 43 runs shy of Australia's first innings 478
India 435 for 5 (Tendulkar 191*, Vijay 139) trail Australia 478 by 43 runs
But Johnson hauled Australia back into contention with two wickets in the space of three balls
"It will be a tough morning tomorrow but we're looking to win Test matches."
"I'm confident we can go out there and push really hard to knock them over and then obviously we've just got to bat really well and fight hard on the last day to win the Test match."
"We'll be pushing as hard as we can and like I said in Mohali we're looking to win Test matches," Johnson said.
"We saw today there were a few that stayed low, and a couple that jumped off the wicket as well, and there was talk of this wicket about how it jumps up as well.
"I guess the sun hasn't really come out and broken it up for us as much as we'd like, but we've still got two days to go and it might keep breaking up more and more. "I'm confident we can go there tomorrow and push really hard to knock them over, then obviously we've got to bat really well and then just really fight hard on that last day to win this Test match."
