Moeen Ali "felt quite comfortable" batting

England all-rounder Moeen Ali says that he was "comfortable" batting until he was run out in a mix-up with captain Alastair Cook.

Moeen Ali has said that he "felt quite comfortable" at the crease before a mix-up resulted in him being run out on the opening day of the third Test against the West Indies in Barbados.

The all-rounder was on 58 when captain Alastair Cook called for a run from the other end, costing his batting partner his wicket.

The 27-year-old told Sky Sports News: "Once I played 30-40 balls I felt quite comfortable, it was just a shame I got run out again. Cooky hit it but I didn't think there was a run, but I trusted the call.

"It's great for him to get a hundred, it was a shame he got out at the end. We probably lost two too many wickets but we've still got batsmen and hopefully we can get to 350.

"I'm looking forward to bowling on there tomorrow, or hopefully the day after."

England reached 240-7 at stumps after Cook scored his first century in two years, before being dismissed in the final over of the day.
