Kevin Pietersen praises England teammates

Injured Kevin Pietersen has hailed the performance of some of his England teammates following their series success over New Zealand over the last couple of weeks.

The hosts won the first Test at Lord's by 170 runs and backed that up this afternoon by securing a 247-run victory at Headingley.

"Lovely from Swann. Good to see him ripping it! Finn tops! Root & Bairstow excellent too! Cook will be all time record breaker! #myroundup," he wrote on Twitter.

Pietersen is currently suffering from a knee problem, but should be available for this summer's Ashes.
