That's going to wrap up the proceedings for this game and the English summer that we have had. It was a great summer to be a part of. Hope all of you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash alongside scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Zak Crawley has received the trophy and now the England team pose for a photograph.
Zak Crawley (England Captain): "Yes, a great honour to captain the side and get the series win as well. Yes, it is a great sign for us and the second team can put pressure on the first team. Great for English cricket. I think it is about role clarity and they went and played there and take the attack to the opposition. The main side does well. I want to play ODI cricket in the future and hope to get better at it. I want to play in many formats as possible and want to improve as there is competition for places in the English team. So, want to improve our game."
Paul Stirling (Ireland Captain): "Yeah, obviously very disappointing, how we went both days today, even in the half-day, kind of feels like a loss, almost. So something we've got a couple of weeks off now or longer than that, to reflect and sit down and see where we're going to go as a side. You're bowling the world-class players who put you under pressure, and that's when you see if you stand up and that's how I went today. Very difficult couple of overs and it just sort of kept spiraling from there. We couldn't get any control back in the game and they were definitely off for a very big score, so maybe the rain got there in time for us.
I think we've always had talent and produced cricketers who are at a world-class level, but we haven't quite made that into a team yet. And I think that's the focus over the next sort of period or four years is to try and make us into a very good team that's hard to beat, instead of a collection of individuals who have pushed on in different areas and in different formats. So I think that our main focus is to make sure that we can get together and put in great performances more often."
Still absolutely love to play in cricket. Continue to open the bat hopefully, and still as enjoyable hitting the ball through the covers for four getting off the mark. So along that, may that continue, and hopefully a few more runs still left in the bank."
Will Jacks (Player of the Series): "Really shame today. We were going for a big score, but rain had other plans. Good to have fun out there. I have to be keep improving and enjoy my batting and bowling as well. Salt made it easy and that was unbelievable to say the least. If we had gone on, who knows where we would have gone from here. Happy to win the series in the end."
Player of the Series: Will Jacks.
ODI Player of the Summer: Dawid Malan.
Time for the presentations.
Deepak: It's quite surprising to witness a match being called off after just 20 minutes of rain. Perhaps the ECB should consider sending their groundsmen to Sri Lanka for some advanced training! 😄 Just kidding! The facility here in Bristol is not enough and things are not in the hands of groundsmen.
