Man of the Match is Ishant Sharma: The way batsmen played in the first innings, Ajinkya played really well in the first innings, that gave us the momentum. Also the way Vijay played, Jaddu and Bhuvi also. Cricket is a great leveller, the way MS bhai handled the team, the way he keeps on motivating the guys. I think all these wickets are not for me, it is only for the captain, he told me you are tall enough, you have to try the bouncer. A famous win for India, finished off with a barrage of short balls. But there were plenty of solid performances from the others: Pujaras patient 28 on the first morning when the track was at its deadliest, Ajinkya Rahane accelerated to his century later in the day, Bhuvneshwars batting in both innings and his bowling in the first, Vijays again showing he has the patience and concentration to flourish in Tests, and also Jadejas manic counterattacking half-century which turned the game yesterday. Where do England go from here? End of the road for Prior? How close is Cook to getting the push? The England team will be picked tomorrow. The sad thing is after this astonishing Test, the headlines over the next few days could be dominated by the Anderson-Jadeja spat after the hearing tomorrow. Thanks everyone for joining us on comms. Our gang at Lords will have plenty for you to read shortly. Till then, this is Sid Ravindran saying goodbye.
