00:00I think just a genuine joy seeing him back playing test cricket, just on his face, taking that wicket, making things happen.

00:07The impact that he adds to the group is huge in the dressing room but also out on the field.

00:12Clearly he's an X-Factor player, he's shown that when he's played white ball cricket for England,

00:17when it's in the IPL, big games he turns up and he does things that other players can't.

00:22And you saw that in a short sort of burst today.

00:25So I do think he's going to play a big part with the rest of the group.

00:29And I think one thing that you will say about it is he compliments nicely the rest of the attack.

00:34And at different points throughout the game, they're all going to have to work together

00:37and play their part in taking these 20 wickets if we're going to win this game.

00:42So really nice start for him.

00:44Great to see him back smiling, enjoying his cricket and also making a huge impact at the start of this innings.
