England wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings said on Saturday that his test debut at Hobart against Australia was like a"free hit" after being drafted in as a late replacement for the injured Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow ahead of the fifth match.

He was twice named in the test squad last summer but failed to make his debut.
