"We knew the way to win this game was to put a mammoth score on the board," England's stand-in skipper Ollie Pope said. "I think that's credit to (Brook and Root) for the skills they've got with the bat, the determination they had to put the team in a winning position. "We're hurt as a nation, but the beauty of the game is it always gives you another chance. Life gives you another chance so the quick turnaround might be quite beneficial for us and we're all looking forward to it," Masood said. "The trick for us is that we should learn, obviously, from England as well."
