Journalist Piers Morgan: "All the criticism about Alastair Cook has been denounced by victory. If you win you shut up the critics - critics like me who were very vociferous. I'm very pleased to be proved wrong. It's a magnificent victory for England.

"I don't think today is the day to bang on about the KP debate. In a way that has been answered by England's victory.

"Having said that it annoys me the way Pietersen was treated. This is a guy who won four Ashes series. So when it comes to him being a supposedly non-team payer it sticks in my gullet and his. He's 35 now. It will be difficult to see him getting back into the team."
