That is all for tonight. Good bye
Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match for his 3 for 26. Yadav: "I am very happy with my bowling and that we have won. I stuck to my plan, I have been working hard, my rhythm came back. I have been working on my basics. It was a good wicket, there was bounce, swing, I was enjoying bowling on it."
Gautam Gambhir: "I would not have reacted that way had I nicked it. Just happened in the heat of the moment. It was a big game for us. Happy with the way the rest of the guys batted. Want to give credit to the bowlers on such a wicket. Looking at the wicket, playing three spinners, we were looking at chasing 160-odd. The three spinners bowled brilliantly to restrict them."
Darren Sammy: "The dot balls at the end (of our innings) cost us. The bowlers fought back to make a game out of it. We know that catches win matches, we dropped two crucial ones today. Different conditions from last year (in Hyderabad) but we have had some good games. We have not capitalised on key moments. It is not over, we have to win all three and hope some results go in our favour."
Players shake hands and Yusuf gets a long, warm embrace from Irfan. Wasn't as easy a chase in the end as it seemed to be at the innings break but Yusuf and Ryan ten Doeschate stepped up at the death
