21:04 (IST) Nov 05

Played good cricket. We bowled very well. This is what we planned - to bowl in the right areas and get them out early. Odd ball was spinning, odd one went straight. I was just looking to bowl in the right area and the wicket was doing the work. We wanted to bowl so that we can take full advantage of the pitch (with three spinners). Finally we won the toss today. Yes, dew seems to have come in now. It does play a big part in the second innings. They have not got a big score. Yes we will look to chase it down early.

Ravindra Jadeja (4-0-15-3 --- His best T20I figures)
