It is such a money spinner thanks to its integrated advertising packages that the network doubled it to two series each year in 2013 without killing audience enthusiasm.
He had given up 145 runs for his three wickets and there was nothing the young spinner could do to halt the fiercest hitting he has had to deal with.
The tourists recalled Monty Panesar and Sajid Mahmood in place of Ashley Giles and James Anderson, with the spinner making an immediate impact, taking five for 92 as Australia were bowled out for 244.

Watson, who emerged from a miserable personal series with a dominant Test-best 176 to fire Australia to 307 for four, burst out laughing when asked whether he had been pleased to hear that England were handing a debut to the young Lancashire spinner Simon Kerrigan rather than recalling Chris Tremlett to their bowling attack.

Chris Rogers had been a victim for Graeme Swann on five occasions in the first four Tests and took the no-shot approach to facing his nemesis at The Oval, scoring off only four of the 52 balls he faced against the spinner before falling to him once more.
Swann, 34, is behind only Derek Underwood as England's most prolific wicket-taking spinner – with 255 victims in his 60 Tests.
