We will be back then to get you more cricketing action. Bye bye for now from our team. See ya!

Mayank Agarwal: Very happy with the win. The way we played in the first innings after the first session changed the game for us. The way we bowled in the first innings set it up for us. Because we knew there was not a lot on offer. If you bowl with consistency, wasn't easy for the batters. We spoke about creating an environment for the players that they will do well.

Shams Mulani, Player of the Match: It was tough in this heat. I am used to it. I wanted to replicate what I do for my state team. Discipline while batting helped me a lot. The wicket was getting a little slower. One odd ball was gripping. What I spoke to the captain and coach, they told me to bowl in consistent areas.

Shreyas Iyer: Right from ball 1, we were on the mark. Picked up four wickets. But Shams and Kotian have been performing brilliantly. That partnership of 120 plus took away the momentum. We came in and lost wickets. We were trailing from then on. The ball turned. The batters were getting beaten. The way their batters batted in the second innings was superb. 488 on a given day is not an easy task. We were calculating in our minds how to go about it. We will look to have a good contest in the next game.

A comprehensive win for India A. The first two days were a bit tricky for batting, and Mayank Agarwal’s team lost five wickets in the first session. However, they recovered thanks to a partnership between Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian to end with 290 in the first innings. In reply, India D stumbled as none of their batters barring Padikkal could make a telling contribution, with Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson getting out to rash shots. In the second innings, the pitched flattened out and Pratham Singh and Tilak Varma got impressive hundreds, while Shashwat Rawat scored a handy fifty. Setting a target in excess of 500, India D stumbled once again as Atharva Taide was out for a duck. There was a bit of a partnership brewing between Yash Dubey and Ricky Bhui, but after the former was dismissed in an unlucky run out, things began to fold. The spinners got into the game, extracting a lot out of the footmarks. Ricky Bhui was resolute from one end and scored a century, but nobody else could stay with him long enough and the game ended shortly before Tea. India D with this win are out of contention for the Trophy as they have lost two out of two now. India A after falling prey to India B have bounced back in style.

14:43 Local Time, 09:13 GMT, 14:43 IST: India A have won in a convincing manner. They took the first innings lead and then amassed 380 to hand a target of 488 to the India D team. That always looked improbable from the onset. Bhui was the only batter who batted deep and got a 100. The spinners - Kotian and Mulani - worked over time and gave their team timely strikes. Kotian picked 4 and Mulani 3 to ensure the India A team won with a session to spare.
