Player of the Match
Phil Salt | England
Enjoyed that. Pretty good wicket, it’s a good ground to bat on. It was good fun. That’s the way we play. We try to take on the bowlers pretty early. Looks good when it works. It was a good effort by them. They batted well to get to that total.
I don’t have to start thinking like that. Happy to win the first game of the series. They are going to have different plays against us. It’s a game of cat and mouse. It’s a bilateral series.
