England pacer Steven Finn expressed his happiness over taking eight wickets to help his side beat Australia in the third Ashes Test played at Edgbaston this week.

The 26-year-old bowler, who returned to the Test squad after a gap of nearly two years, said nothing felt better than taking a few wickets and helping the nation to win.

England captain Alastair Cook was quoted by the BBC, as saying that Finn's comeback was amazing, and added that the change room was absolutely thrilled with his success.

Former England spinner Graeme Swann wrote on twitter, "I'm so happy for @finnysteve on how he's performed on his comeback. A nicer bloke you will not meet #alwaysinthewickets"

Finn was adjudged as the Player of the Match after England chased down a paltry target of 121 in 32.1 overs, thanks to Ian Bell's fluent 65 not out and Joe Root's unbeaten 38.

The fourth Test will commence from 6th August, while the fifth and final Test will be held from 20th August.
