SOUNDBITE (English) Alastair Cook, England captain:

(on the inclusion of Steven Finn in the side).

"It's just great for English cricket that Finney (Steven Finn) is getting back to his best, you know. To add him into the pile of fast bowlers can only be a good thing - adding more competition... and again, he's very different to what we've got. He's a tall bowler and when he gets it right, he bowls near ninety miles an hour (145 kilometres per hour). So that's a great thing to add to the pot and I'm pleased for him that he's managed to... you know, it's obviously been a very tough six months for him personally, but to fight through it and I think he will be a stronger bloke for it, and it'll bode well for his cricket."
