Last Wicket: Ashok Dinda 3(4)

Over 50.0  

Captain Cook says that his team has made most of the decision to bat first after winning the toss. The difference he says was the finishing fireworks from Samit Patel. He says that it wasn't easy to defend 325 because of the quick outfield. Cook feels that Tredwell was simply brilliant with his off spin which gave him four big wickets.

The Man of the Match as expected is James Tredwell for his bowling figures of 10-0-44-4. We got wickets at the right times says Tredwell and he says that he had learnt from the way the Indians had bowled in the first half and made the adjustments.
Dhoni thinks that 325 was chaseable as the outfield was very quick and the pitch was very good. He feels that he could have batted for two more overs to give India the chance of a victory. Dhoni appreciates Raina for his bowling which prevented England from running away with a total of 350. He excuses the bowlers for being inexperienced.

Dhoni says that he and Raina could have won the game easily but once they got out the match was over. He insists that the set batsmen need to convert their starts into bigger scores.
