Intro:
England captain Alastair Cook, fast bowler Jimmy Anderson and India captain MS Dhoni reflect on the Test series between the two sides after England secured a 3-1 victory on Sunday (17th August), following an innings and 244-run win for the home side at the Oval Cricket Ground in the fifth and final Test in London.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Alastair Cook, England captain (on turning arouns a 1-0 series deficit and taking the series 3-1):
"I didn't think we'd win quite as emphatically as we have done. You know, Southampton (Third Test at the Rose Bowl) was clearly a turning point for us, to finally get a win... In those first two days when we got - I don't know how many we got, did we get close to 500 and get a couple of wickets that night - suddenly there was a bit of confidence in us as a side and since... once we won there and enjoyed that night, we kind of said that was the blueprint for how we wanted to play our cricket against these guys and credit to the five bowlers for the way they bowled, because for sustained periods of pressure, we haven't let them get away from us and that's very hard to bat against. And then we've obviously scored the runs we needed to score."
