SOUNDBITE (English) Alastair Cook, England captain:

(on the decision by cricket's administrators to drop disciplinary proceedings against England bowler Jimmy Anderson over an incident with India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja at the First Test at Trent Bridge).

"Yeah, it's obviously been a really good couple of days off the field for us, in terms of making sure that Jimmy (Anderson) is available to play and the whole incident is behind us and we can concentrate on playing cricket. We don't have to talk about it any more - well, hopefully not too much more, and we can get on with playing cricket."
