I only had five bowlers, so everyone had to step up and take responsibility.

He is sore but he has a couple of days to recover so he should be OK.

That's definitely the idea but you've got to look at the game situation when he comes on to bowl.

I think it does deserve to have Test and one-day status.

If we knew how good he was going to be.

It was important we got off to a good start and we got two early wickets and picked up more pretty regularly through the day.

Freddie is a champion from that perspective, he was really keen to go in.

We've been there before and you just need clear heads and remain calm.

Those last two wickets were definitely the cherry on the top and I'm sure knocked them a little bit in the dressing room.
