England skipper Alastair Cook expressed his surprise in the manner his side were able to overturn the Lord`s result and then win three consecutive Tests to steamroll India en route their 3-1 series win.
India lost the fifth and final Test at the Oval by an innings and 244 runs, succumbing in less than three days.
“I remember saying, when we were 1-0 down, that I still thought we were going to win the series. I had a lot of confidence in the talent and amount of skill we had in the dressing-room. I didn’t think we’d win quite so emphatically, as we have done,” said Cook after the match.
“Southampton was clearly a turning point for us, to finally get the win. Suddenly after that first day (there), there was a bit of confidence back in us as a side. Once we won there, and enjoyed that night, that was the route of how we wanted to play our cricket against these guys,” he added.
