“It’s robust to take. I stood right here final 12 months with the identical end result however you must take what positives you’ll be able to. We have simply had two guys chosen for England on the again of their Blast kind and we have completed prime of the group three years working, so we have to be doing one thing proper.
“At midway, we had been pleased with that rating. It wasn’t fairly the pitch we thought it was. It was fairly sluggish, turgid and attritional at occasions however we stated if one man bats by and will get 50 off 40 balls we’ll be advantageous however that did not occur.
“It was the job of Moeen and myself to interrupt the again of it. If we might batted for 10 overs the speed would have dropped considerably, however that did not pan out.
“They simply stored taking wickets, and that is credit score to them. And Jack Taylor captained brilliantly. He gambled by bowling David Payne for a 3rd over and obtained Mo out, so he deserves credit score for that.”
