Player of the Match
Mark Wood | England
Delighted to be here to stand as the Man of the Match. The lads will tell you there are sweaty palms. Was tough against some of the best bowlers in the world, it’s the first time I’ve got England over the line with the bat so I’m delighted.
If I bat any higher, will get a nosebleed, so definitely not higher than 9. I felt in good rhythm. Tried to run in as hard as I can. Stokes told me to bowl as fast as I could. Things still to work on going into the next game.
I was pleased with my 24 off 8. Would be tough going into the next game. The support everywhere we go is amazing, but it’s always better in the north, isn’t it? Will see I how pull up but will do everything I can to be ready.
