Hmmm. Wonderful result. Incredible, some would say. Almost unbelievable.
Against India, I believe.

Now I'm thinking that a chap who laid a wager on England to win after the first innings were over would have got awfully good odds.
Foakes did well
Absolutely - vital effort with the bat and great behind the stumps. Should keep himFoakes did well
Indeed. More importantly, the chap who came out after the first day and said we were in a good position (Ben Duckett) and got pelted for it deserves a bit of creditHmmm. Wonderful result. Incredible, some would say. Almost unbelievable.

But..... we weren't!
Oh we weren't - but he was attacked in the main for daring to have a positive attitude. The mindset of the team is that they can win from anywhere, which isn't too far from truth.But..... we weren't!
