"Had a good couple of days. Certainly stuck to build momentum for the Test. I think that's how I try to play every game - play the conditions and the situation of the game. Thankfully it paid off. We'll see how things progress out in the game. Obviously looks like it'll keep deteriorating and it'll keep getting tougher to bat on. Hopefully we can pick up three early wickets tomorrow."
He continued:
"Brilliant effort from the boys, I had a great view as well. For them to step up and perform like that, it's great for the future of English cricket. (On Bashir) He's brilliant. He's great to have in the group. I've not seen much of him or known much of him before this series but he has great character. "
