That’s all for today, though we’ll be back in the morning for a big one: Australia v Pakistan. Goodnight!

Updated

As does the Indian captain Rohit Sharma

Yeah it was a good win. We didn’t start well but we pulled it back in the middle and at the end. Our fielding has been superb and we continued that today. It’s something that’s within your control. We’ve got a fielding medal to give out after each game, it’s something nice within the group. Whoever ends up with the most, there’s something special for them.

The effort was great in the field and the bowlers are smart enough to know what lengths and lines to bowl. [Ravindra Jadeja] was brilliant with the ball, and he took a great catch as well. But I guess a hundred is a hundred, you can’t beat that.

[On Hardik Pandya] He pulled up a bit sore. There’s no major damage but with an injury like that you have to assess it day by day. We hope he pulls up okay tomorrow.
