In the end bit of an anti-climax there as the match was looking as if it will go down to the wire It was a thoroughly professional performance from the Kiwis, Bond bowled like a champion defending a small total and took the game away from the Indians with an accurate and ruthless spell Pathan and Yadav put up a fighting 9th wicket partnership but in the end it was too little too late we hope you have enjoyed the coverage as we did bringing it to you For the latest bulletin on today's play, features and other stories please visit ww.cricinfo.com We welcome all feedback - on our coverage and on the game.
