"I always enjoy playing in England, at the same time enjoy the atmosphere and the situation. The more you play the more experience you gain. 

"Nothing to take away from the bowlers, it was a good wicket to bat on and the bowlers did a commendable job to restrict them, they were brilliant not only today but for the entire series".
