SOUNDBITE: (English) Alastair Cook:

"Yeah, I mean that's the idea. We're not going to go in there with any other mindset. It's a game to win. We've got to use that in isolation and, you know, not think about: 'if we survive this and stuff we'll win the series'. We gotta go out there to win the game. We gotta be that mindset we had after Lord's when it was doom and gloom and we didn't play very well. You know, we came out fighting when we really needed it. Just 'cause we won a couple of games, we can't relax at all and, you know, 'cause the atmosphere's lifted a little bit around the side. We've got to be tough on ourselves and earn the right to put in a good performance and that's what we have to do."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Alastair Cook:

"Mo's [Moeen Ali has] been brilliant... As I keep saying, I haven't seen improvement like that from even facing him in the nets. You know, the speed he's now bowling at, with that control, keeping that dip and spin on it has been fantastic... we you try and increase your pace [of bowling] you lose a lot of that, you know, your flight and guile on the ball and he hasn't done that. So that's a great skill to have and he's still going to improve and that's encouraging. As I said, the 19 wickets, I didn't think he'd have got that at the beginning of the series but I didn't think he'd be bowling like he is and now he's bowling like that there's reason he can't take more wickets."
