It was difficult but the pitch was good to bat on and I backed myself.&#39;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px 10px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Cook -&nbsp;&#39;Great to be over the line though we made it hard for ourselves in between. Moeen gave us a good start once again but we messed it up in the middle overs. Credit to Root and Buttler for the way they batted to finish the game.&nbsp;Hope we can carry the momentum of this win to the remaining games&#39;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px 10px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Mathews - &#39;England put up a good show though I though we were about 10-15 runs short. There was dew and the spinners found it hard to grip the ball. You can&#39;t rely on Duckworth-Lewis and it is something you can&#39;t control. We were a bit loose on the field with some dropped catches and a no ball. Thirimanne was brilliant and showed his class today. We hope to bounce back for the next game.&#39;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\">Photo Source - ECB Website<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">CRICKETNMORE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
