Post-match presentation
Gautam Gambhir: "I think we batted really well, but the first six overs the way van der Merwe batted, he took the game away from us. It was a very competitive total we put up."
Alfonso Thomas: "I thought I lost it when I brought Suppiah in to bowl against Yusuf. but this man behind me (Roelof) is a wonderful cricketer. The belief in the team (is one of our strengths)."
The Man of the Match is Roelof van der Merwe: "It is always good to play an innings to win, and help the team win. Very happy at Somerset and hopefully can help them do well. I have worked hard at my game in the (South African) winter."
