Player of the match
Jonny Bairstow | England
Great team performance tonight. To post that total and to defend it was a great effort. Decent ball at Durham, happens when you bat at the top of the order. Got a start here and got a lot easier once I settled in. Partnership between myself and Brook turned out to be a match-winner. We haven’t batted much together but it was great to bat with him.
He’s been batting really well. Didn’t quite get loads of the strike in the end, best give it to the guys coming in when they can strike them like that. Hopefully another opportunity will come along (to score a hundred) and I can become the third one (to score a hundred in all three formats for England). Gus Atkinson has raw pace, its scary for other teams. A performance like that on debut will give him a lot of confidence. We’re sure that this is the first of many caps for him.
