That’s all for today. Thanks for your company and emails – we’ll be back tomorrow for Pakistan v Afghanistan. Goodnight!

Rohit Sharma’s verdict

It’s a good start to the tournament. We know the job is only half done. It’s important for us to stay balanced but to enjoy the moment as well.

[Mohammed Shami] took the opportunity with both hands. He’s got class and used the conditions really well. At one stage we were looking at 300+, so I have to give credit to our bowlers at the back end. It was a great effort to restrict them to 273.

[On Virat Kohli] There’s nothing much to say, honestly, we’ve seen him do this for so many years. He’s such a calm head.
