"It is as hot as it gets," Warne told reporters. "It was hot enough to boil an egg on your head today.

"I found it hard to keep the ball dry as the ball keeps slipping," he said.

"Everyone bowled exceedingly well today and I am also very pleased with my effort."

Warne finished with four for 11 off 11 overs. This comes on the back of a match-winning 11-wicket haul in the first Test of the series, in Colombo.

"Initially the bounce in the wicket was a bit uneven, but in the last hour of play the ball turned more," he said.

"The only ball which really spun was the one Mark Waugh received from Saqlain Mushtaq. It was shame for Mark that he got such a ball."

Mark Waugh was dismissed lbw for two while Steve Waugh was out for nought, caught off off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq as Australia reached 191 for four in reply.

Warne insisted that neither twin's Test spot was in jeopardy.

"All of us who have played with them over the years will want them to do well," said Warne.

"Both are very competitive guys and I am sure in the second innings they will do well."

Warne added he was enjoying his cricket immensely after shedding 12 kg.

"This has been the most successful time in my 12-year Test career and this is the fittest I have been so far."
