I’ve probably played about 50 of those scenarios in the back garden growing up – trying to chase down a target or even trying to take three wickets.

And I reckon it’s even harder to bat in the garden because it’s usually one hand, one bounce!

Seriously, it was really tough trying to get the 79 runs to win with Steve Patterson because Jeetan Patel’s a proper bowler. But I loved every minute of it, and I’m over the moon that we won.

Jeetan was bowling really well, and we just had to stick to the game plan, which I stopped doing with one run to win. I was leaving the ones going down leg stump line before edging one to leg slip.

I was then pacing around the dressing room and couldn’t watch at the end. It was ridiculous.

Credit to Warwickshire. They came at us with a lot of heart and bottle, especially for a team who have gone down. But I thought we deserved to win at the end of the day.

I’ve said before that playing Championship cricket is the pinnacle of the county game for me, so to achieve a win for Yorkshire in that competition has got to come above anything else I’ve achieve so far.

You like doing well individually, but to have that team success is fantastic. The feeling in the dressing room at the end was incredible. This will stick in my memory for a long, long time.

It’s good to know that we’ve got a good cushion ahead of Essex next week, where we need to put four good days of cricket together like we did in the Championship-winning seasons.

It just seems like we’ve struggled to do that this year, although this win has given the lads a lot of confidence. With it being my first game of the season, it was great to get off to a good start with the five wickets. Then I really enjoyed the batting in both innings.

It’s important for everyone down the order to contribute, and fingers crossed I can continue to do that because it can take pressure off your bowling.

I want to be involved in games, and if one thing can work when the other perhaps isn’t going so well, it’s a massive help.

I have to say I was pretty calm throughout the run chase either side of lunch.

I knew that if I played the way I did for my 37 in the first innings, I would have a good chance of doing well.

I had a clear plan to Jeetan, who was going to be spinning a lot of balls past the outside edge.

But it’s about putting them behind you. Mind you, most of the time, they turned too much and went for four byes or leg byes.

Patto batted beautifully. He kept saying ‘five-run chunks’. To be honest, I wasn’t even thinking about that.

I was just thinking about digging in and getting a hundred.

I know that wasn’t possible with the small target, but that was the mindset I had.

I wasn’t chasing a score, I was just there to bat time.

Once you start thinking about runs and see it go from 70 to 50 to 30, you think the job’s nearly done.

If you keep it as if there’s no end to the game, you have to keep going.

It was only when there was six runs to go that I started thinking about the win. Then my beans were going and I did something silly.

I loved the fact that the crowd were so involved in it all.They supported us brilliantly, and I kept looking around, wanting to get them involved. As a sportsman, you’ve got to enjoy playing in front of a crowd.

When I was stood at the non-striker’s end, I could even see all the club’s office staff on the fifth floor on the edge of their seats, and I kept looking up trying to engage with them a bit. Hopefully we can now finish the job off with a strong performance at Chelmsford to send everybody connected with the club into the winter on a high.
