I've never been one to look too far ahead since I came back into the England side and I'm not going to change that view.

I think England can go into the fourth Test buoyed by their performances already and are in a situation now where they have Australia on the rack, ... England can go on and win both matches.

I think England have matched them on a competitive level. I think Australia know that now, and the closer it gets that Australia can lose the Ashes, the more it will play on their minds.

I view every game I play for England as it could be my last, so I go out there and enjoy it. It's the only way I can approach it.

We actually had a barbecue that Sunday, ... I was out in the garden while a lot of the other blokes were inside watching the cricket on TV. Every now and then someone would rush out and shout, 'Another wicket's gone.' I was struck by how weird it all seemed. I really was no longer a Test cricketer. I was just some ordinary guy looking after his barbecue while this momentous battle unfolded at Trent Bridge.

It was a scrap, not the prettiest of innings,
