And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with India claiming an impressive victory by 23 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by India and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said India proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
