We needed Simon Jones's type of bowling which balances our bowling attack.

They had a sustained fast-bowling attack that I haven't experienced since probably 1993 against the West Indies,

He's got a very, very difficult job here. He's an all-rounder - he's got to bowl, bat and captain the side.

On these slow wickets your technique has got to come to bear. The Indians use a lot of wrist in their technique. If you don't use your wrists you are going to struggle because of the adjustment in time of the ball reaching you - they use their wrists to create that power to beat the field.

We'll look at the No 8 position when we see the conditions. By all accounts it's a two-spinner pitch so there's every chance we'll play two.

Key has had a shoulder operation and Shah has a knee injury which didn't look too serious at first but a closer look has shown it is a far more serious.
