England batsman Ian Bell admits that he was elated to rediscover his best form in the second innings of the first Test against Australia with a score of 60.

England batsman Ian Bell has revealed that his score of 60 his side's second innings against Australia was "perfect" for him to get back into form.

The 33-year-old had struggled for form over the course of the year since his innings of 143 in the first Test against the West Indies in April.

However, Bell found his touch at Sophia Gardens with a fluent half-century to end a run of nine innings without a score over 50.

He told Sky Sports News: "It was nice to go back to Warwickshire and score some runs there, although that guarantees you nothing. Getting runs and spending time in the middle is perfect and today it felt just how I wanted it to be.

"When I am playing at my best, I play it late and let it really come in tight. At the start of the year I was all over the place and New Zealand bowled incredibly well at me and I was going at the ball a bit hard.

"Today I let it come and the rhythm was much better and I have been doing a lot of hard work with Mark Ramprakash in the nets to do that."

England set Australia a mammoth total of 412 to record victory in the first Test.
