England captain Alastair Cook has expressed his delight at the recent announcement of Trevor Bayliss as the team's new coach.

The 52-year-old will officially take over next month in time for July's first Ashes Test, following in the footsteps of Peter Moores who left his role three weeks ago.

"It's fantastic news for English cricket," Cook told BBC Sport. "I've spoken to Eoin Morgan and Brendon McCullum, who knows him from the IPL, and they only good things to say about him."

England kicked off a new chapter by beating New Zealand in the first Test of their series at Lord's this week, and Cook now wants his teammates to build on the "feel-good factor".

"It was a brilliant week and turning up here a few days after it you have that glow of a job well done," Cook said. "But one of the dangers is becoming over-confident and forgetting all the hard work that went into that match.

"We have to carry that feel-good factor through. In Test cricket the minute you get ahead of yourself it comes back very quickly."

The second Test against the Kiwis gets underway at Headingley on Friday morning.
