Strauss showed the good shot selection
"It's a slow attritional pitch, but there were certainly signs of turn there in the evening session, which on day one
is quite a nice situation for us to have.
"But we have to set the game up well. It was a good first day, but we have to continue doing this day after day after
day."

Strauss showed the good shot selection needed at this level but never let his positive mood turn into recklessness, despite the temptations presented by a second-string attack.
As skipper he was more willing to surprise, handing a debut to Danish-born fast bowler Amjad Khan and bringing back slow left-armer Monty Panesar to play in tandem with off-spinner Graeme Swann.
