Panesar’s delight at England comeback

Panesar bowled a marathon 33 overs on his first day of Test cricket since 2009, bowling opener Mohammad Hafeez.

He said: “There was a bit of nerves flying around, but I was really pleased to be back.

“Hafeez was a nice wicket to get after I dropped him the ball before.

“All spinners try to say we meant it but I think it just hit the leather and skidded on.

“From my end there was a bit of turn and we had the right-handed batsmen in play, so the ball turning away helped.”

“The whole bowling unit did a fantastic job.

“Swanny bowled really well with the second new ball and Jimmy (Anderson) and Stuart Broad upped the ante.”
