Player of the match & player of the series
Chris Woakes |England
It has been amazing few games and nice to come into the side and contribute. The belief was there even at 2-0 down to go on and win the series. Not been part of the team and squad for 12 months, so was desperate to get back and perform, You couldn’t have asked for anything better.
You always felt will I get an opportunity, I kept myself fit and available because it was a gruelling schedule with five Tests back to back.
I got an early wicket in that spell (at Headingley) and that settled the nerves, I found my rhythm from that moment on and carried that into the next couple of tests. That was one of my best moments in Test cricket (hitting the winning runs at Headingley).
Incredible for him and to go out like that, typical of Broady. It is not easy to pick big scalps and that is the pleasing thing for me this series to pick the big wickets. Ashes is the pinnacle of test cricket and I am happy to contribute.
When you have a ball change you hope it works for you but still have to put it in the land it in the right areas. We will see and leave it to the captain Stokesy. I want to play as much cricket for England as possible.
There are more and more cricket coming up with franchise cricket but you don’t get anything like Test cricket.
