Jack Leach reaching 100 Test wickets
"Really pleased. I never thought that would happen. Amazing and I just want to contribute to a win. it's crazy to think I've got 100 wickets in Test matches just because of how difficult I've found it at times.
"But then you realise there have been some good moments along the way, you do some good things and I definitely feel like I'm getting better and better as I play more, so that's pleasing.
"On these wickets it's about being as patient as you can between those [sharply turning] deliveries. It's something I'll try to do better in the next innings, try to be clever with fields and stuff, patiently go about my work."
