Washington Sundar's verdict

[Where’s the game at?] Definitely India winning, probably just after lunch!

Being one down at stumps would have been ideal. But the way we bowled, and the pressure the fast bowlers maintained, was amazing.

We expected some seam movement and up-and-down bounce with the hard ball. Akash Deep’s spell to get Brook out, when he was looking really aggressive, [was vital].

When the fast bowlers get tired it’s our turn! The way Jadeja and I bowled was very heartening. The plan was not concede many runs so the way it went for us was very good.

The UK has been very, very kind to me with the drft – I don’t get as much in subcontinent conditions.
