Rohit told that we failed as a team
After the defeat against England, captain Rohit Sharma said that the match was played for four days, so it is difficult to say where the mistake happened. After getting a lead of 190, we felt that we were far ahead in the game. I went and saw where we bowled, we bowled in the right places. When you end the day, you analyze what went well and what didn’t go well. The bowlers executed the plan really well, but Pope has really batted brilliantly. It’s hard to blame one or two things. Overall, we failed as a team.

Stokes praised Tom Hartley
After winning the match, captain Ben Stokes said that since I took over the captaincy, we have had many great moments as a team. We have achieved many great victories. This win is definitely our biggest win since I have been captain. No matter what happened in the first innings, I was ready to give him long spells because I knew that at some point during this Test match I would have to take his help. I am not saying this because he took seven wickets and won us the match in this innings. But the thinking behind this is that we give full support to the people we elect.
