Former England captain Michael Vaughan has praised Alastair Cook for leading the team to victory in the first Ashes Test.
The Three Lions took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series on Saturday as they beat Australia by 169 runs in Cardiff.
Vaughan believes that Cook deserves credit for his tactics following persistent criticism of his captaincy.
"Everything Cook has touched has worked," Vaughan told BBC Sport. "He has been backed up very nicely by his bowling attack - they all have different styles.
"Michael Clarke is right up there with the best captains but Alastair Cook has just out-captained him this week, he has tactically manoeuvred his field better. Who thought we'd be saying that?"
England and Australia get the second Ashes Test underway at Lord's on July 16.
