SCORING: India vs. England ‘Very pleased,’ Rohit Sharma says.
Rohit states, “I’m overjoyed. We came here to accomplish something as a group in white-ball, and we succeeded. Moving forward, there are some things we need to work on, but we are pleased with our efforts. We were here before, and I recall being beaten. It is not an easy place to win games, but the way we played throughout the white-ball leg was fantastic. I wanted to do it for a long time, and finally, it was brilliant.”
score India vs. England: ‘Two guys took the game away from us,’ says Jos Buttler
“I thought we were short on runs,” Buttler says. That was fantastic because we needed a good start with the ball. We created opportunities, but two players took the game away from us, which is where we lost the game. I’m not worried about batting. We haven’t batted well in T20s and ODIs this summer. We need to bat longer. (Topley) He’s been fantastic. I’m glad he got his chance and that he did well. (Why only seven overs for Topley?) We were looking for ways to get wickets. It’s also been a demanding schedule.
