Hardin Panda is the player of the series,
White ball is something close to me. We all know such a good team England is. For us as a team, it was important for us to come here, set out the plans what we'll bowl. Important for me to stop the runs, bowl as many dot balls. They were cruising at one point. I love short balls. Don't fancy people taking me on. Gets me into the game. Don't mind getting hit for six sixes also if I can get a wicket. That's his game as well, he takes his chances. I always feel I'm shameless as a bowler. Don't care how far I get hit. We all know what talent he has. Finally, today he was playing the situation. The partnership changed the game for us. The way he finished the game was also special.
Player of the match, Rishabh Pant speaks,
Hopefully I remember (this knock) for the rest of my life. I was focusing on one ball at a time when I was batting. When your team is under pressure, and you bat like that, "something" I aspire to do. I always enjoy playing in England, at the same time enjoy the atmosphere and the situation. The more you play, the more experience you gain. Nothing to take away from the bowlers, it was a good wicket to bat on, and the bowlers did a commendable job to restrict them, they were brilliant not only today but for the entire series.
India win!!
Wiley in to bowl the 42nd over and Pant hits back to back fours!! India is very close. Make that 3!!! Just 12 more left, as Pant has really come into his own. 4 more to follow. Oh. my word. He is not wasting any time here. That's four, number 5!!!! Just 4 more left. And over!!! India wins by 5 wickets.
Rishabh Pant scores a magnificent century, as the visitors win by five wickets in Manchester!
That century for Rishabh Pant as he ends his 27-game wait for an ODI 100. And what a game to get it in. The decider. IND 236/5 after 41 overs.
SIX from Pant
Wiley in to bowl the 40th. Starts pretty well with 3 runs from the first 4 balls until THAT!!! Pant takes the charge and hits a 6!!! IND 231/5 after 40 overs,
Pant on the prowl,
Less than 50 runs needed now as Moeen Ali is brought back into the attack. Pant rotates strike with a single. The next 2 balls also yields two singles. This is what they need to do. Singles are enough at this stage. A four to end the over. IND 221/5 after 39 overs. Need 39 runs more to win
Finally
