It's a nice venue for the spinners, getting the ball through the gate I think (on what he loves doing at Trent Bridge), but just happy to be back playing the game and doing well with the boys. I went to Glamorgan, bowled a few overs, had a training camp and it was nice to share the dressing-room with the boys. They and the back-room folks make you feel wanted, it's nice to see them back you well. Duckett and Crawley set the template going and it's going to be good fun watching them impose themselves on the opposition bowling. Back to training, the T20 Blast starts shortly and then back on the field (on his preparations for the India series)

I think our fans are like no other, huge thanks for the amount of support over the last two days. The occasion was massive, the guys stuck to their guns, The first day didn't go our way, but the guys stood by their methods, an unbelievable innings from Brain Bennett. The occasion, the nerves, I think we weren't consistent enough with the ball on the first day (on the decision to bowl first), but the few overs we bowled on the second day, I thought we improved. Thought with the conditions, we could use the new ball and get some wickets, I think if we had maintained a good line and length, we might've had something to show. A nice occasion for him (on Brain Bennett), his parents and his brother were in attendance and it was nice for him to play in front of him. We've a few youngsters coming up nicely, Beneett and Madhevere, the future is good for Zimbabwe. Hopefully, we'll be back shortly, every Zimbabwean was part of the occasion here, definitely not again after 21 years. 

It was good to get the summer off in a winning way. Bit slow with the ball, but I thought we got past it and were great from the last session onwards (on Day 2). You walk out there for England, every run is important. Jacob Bethell will come back into the squad, but we wanted to enforce our way, the way Zak (Crawley) and Ben (Duckett) play, it puts pressure on the opponents. Pope is a massive part of the team, he's my VC and we trust him a lot in decision making. Everyone has done well from the outside (environment), nice thoughts going into the Indian series. (On game-time for himself) Looks good with the bat, nice to get into the match centre, had time away from the game, did look into the Lions game from the bowling side, but I did bowl a lot more today and the feeling was good. Rest is very important going into a long series like India. Still a lot of things going up into the body, I've worked hard and that's a massive confidence boost.

England have won the four-day Test match against Zimbabwe on Day 3 at Trent Bridge with an innings and 45 runs. Shoaib Bashir took nine wickets in the match and was named Player of the Match.

That's all from our side. Thank you and goodnight!
