Player of the Match
Will Jacks | England
I reckon this is the best (of his four POTM awards). Absolutely buzzing with that. When I went in there, it was on a knife’s edge. Over the moon. Was about keeping it simple. Rehan played a brilliant innings. That six he hit second ball off Phillips upped the ante and put them on the back foot.
