"It's been a bit mad on Twitter and Facebook for the last couple of days," Elstone said. "I've known for a couple of weeks that I was going to be doing 12th man in the Test, but it was only when Jonathan Trott got his shoulder injury that I realised I was going to be on the field quite a bit. It's a bit daunting going into that England dressing room in the first place but all the players were great."
