Here's What Shoaib Bashir Said After The Match

"It's a nice ground especially when it's spinning. Nice to get a win. It's just nice to bowl. I felt really good out there. It was a clinical performance from the boys."

"I started the year when I went on loan to Glamorgan. Just to get some overs. But it's nice to join the group here. We had a camp in Loughborough so it was good bowling there. Just nice to get out here in front of the English crowd. Can't get better than that."

"The boys and the backroom staff just makes you feel comfortable and when you're so well back there you can just go out there and express yourself. With the likes of Crawley, Pope and Duckett, the way they played their innings. You just feel 10 foot tall and makes you feel at ease as soon as you go in."

"[On the gap between the next Tests] Plenty of training. The [T20] Blast starts soon. A week off and then getting back straight to it."
