He is very laid-back person, but there is a steely side to him and that means he has the respect of the players
It's a great day for me and a great day for the England team. I felt in pretty good form all the way through.
I just can't imagine a guy who's made more than 70 international centuries turning up at Lord's and getting booed.
The young seam attack did very well in testing conditions.
We rate our chances highly, but we won't be under-estimating this Indian side. If you go out and beat India in India, you have done pretty well.
We are not going to blow them away, the wicket is quite slow,
We've got to learn from our mistakes and rectify them,
We've got to play to our potential, play at 100%, get all our players fit and ready to go and not put ourselves under too much pressure.
We have learnt what it takes to win a series in India.
