Colly: Jeering fans fired us up

Paul Collingwood last night revealed boos from India supporters provided the motivation for England’s victory at lord’s. ‘obviously there were a lot of indian fans here today and we got booed by them when we came off the nursery ground after training earlier,’ said the England captain.

‘it’s a bit strange on your home ground. and it gave everyone the motivation to go out and put a party piece on. ‘There are areas i thought we could improve on. i thought maybe we could have got 160-plus, 170 at one stage. But it was a fantastic performance. The bowlers came out and put them
under a lot of pressure.’
