Presentation Ceremony

The Man of the Match is Luke Wright for his sizzling knock and here is what he says: "An important win for us. I tried to build in the middle period. Luckily I could bat till the end. I think we were always looking to attack some bowlers. I think personally Steve Finn should have been the Man of the Match."

New Zealand Captain Ross Taylor says: "I thought that Franklin batted really well. Spinners did well as well, but it didn't go our way. Good luck to Sri Lanka in all their upcoming games."

The winning England Skipper Stuart Broad says: "We are delighted. Steve Finn set it up with that bowling display. Later Wright batted well to take us to a win. It was a lot drier wicket. We have a huge game coming up on Monday."
