    England captain Jos Buttler: “I’ve been really pleased, I think we’ve played some good cricket, some young guys like Harry Brook have looked at home in the international environment and played some eye-catching innings. And I think we’ve been quite consistent throughout the whole seven games which has been really pleasing.

    “It’s a really good problem to have as a coach and a captain. Those selection headaches are usually the sign of a good team when you’ve got a really strong squad and it’s tough to pick that final XI.”

    Jos Buttler has just said it will be tough to pick England's starting XI.

    The understatement of the year.
