Scorer: S Balasubramanian | Commentator: Abhishek Purohit
That's it from us for this Test match, Join us for the third and final Test that starts in Sharjah on November 3. This is Abhishek Purohit signing off along with our scorers S Balasubramanian and Venkat Raghav. Cheers
Misbah: "Credit to the team, they have been playing good cricket for the last year and a half. Everyone is fulfilling responsibilities and that makes it an easy job for me. I am happy about that [captaincy record]. Whatever we have played here, we know that this wicket, in the later part of the Test, it turns. But the initiative given by the fast bowlers was the key for us. That gave us the sniff to win this match. Win is always good for the team, and it is reward for the hard work we are putting in."
Dilshan: "We have to put at least some runs on the board. We have to think about the batting, get runs in the first innings, we have to improve. Murali did a great job for us, now we have to carry on with youngsters. Bowlers did a good job keeping them to 400 on a flat wicket. Every time we play four bowlers, I will have to bowl 10-15 overs as support."
Man of the Match is Saeed Ajmal. Ajmal: "We thought of stopping the flow of runs, and then getting the wickets. Captain told me to stay at the wicket when I was batting. The pitch was very good, for the first three days it was good for batting, we got bounce after that."
We are getting done with some 'special' awards at the moment, for fours, sixes and special performances.
