Ollie Pope speaks after being awarded Player of the Match
"100 percent (best knock). To come here to India, probably the toughest place for a batter, to start the series like this, to do it in a winning cause, heads and shoulders above the other four (hundreds). I got a bit luckier in the second innings. I played and missed a few. First up, I was at peace with getting out caught at slip like I did in the first. I was focused on covering the inside edge. I knew that was the real danger ball. I maintained that mindset and really wanted to be positive with my sweep and reverse sweep. I have changed my technique slightly for this series specifically. I had a shoulder surgery, so I had a long time to prepare for this series. Made some adjustments, worked hard on my game. The family have had early starts throughout the week, they can finally get some sleep, will be nice catching up with them," said Ollie Pope at the post match presentation.
Ben Stokes speaks after England's incredible win
"Since I have taken the captaincy on, we have had a lot of fantastic moments as a team. We've got a lot of great victories, we've been part of some amazing games. Where we are and who were playing against, this victory is probably, 100% definitely, our greatest triumph. It's my first time coming out here being a captain. I am a great observer of the game. I learned a lot from our first innings in the field. I watched how Indian spinners operated, how Rohit set the field and tried to take a lot of that into our innings. Absolutely thrilled for everyone. Tom Hartley on debut getting nine wickets, Ollie Pope coming back after his shoulder surgery, incredible effort from everyone. Tom came into the squad for the first time. A lot of confidence given to him. I was willing to give him longer spells regardless of what happened because I knew I had to turn back to him at some point. We completely back people who we have been selected. I have been lucky enough to play a lot of Test matches in the subcontinent. Same Joe Root, I have seen some pretty special innings from him. But the situation we found ourselves in, coming in at No. 3, the shots he played, 190 on such a difficult wicket, he was able to manipulate the field with sweep shots and reverse-sweeps, the way he was able to rotate the strike, I think that's the greatest innings that's ever been played in subcontinent by an English batsman. If you lose, you wake up in the morning, you're still having a good crack at life, still breathing, got another four games after this. I don't fear failure, all I want to do is try and encourage whoever finds themselves lucky enough to be in this squad," said Ben Stokes at the post-match presentation.
Rohit Sharma reflects on India's loss
"Cricket is played over four days, so it's hard to pinpoint where it went wrong. Having got a lead of 190, we thought we were very much in the game. Exceptional batting, one of the best that I have seen in Indian conditions by an overseas batter, Ollie Pope played a brilliant knock. I thought 230 was gettable, there wasn't too much in the pitch. We didn't bat well enough to get to the score. I went and checked where we bowled, we bowled in the right areas.When you finish the day, you analyse what went well and what didn't go well. The bowlers executed the plans really well, but you got to take your hat off and say well played to Pope. That was some serious knock. Hard to look at one or two things. Overall, we failed as a team. After the first innings of their batting and our batting, I thought we were very much in the game. We didn't bat well enough to get to that score. I wanted them (Siraj and Bumrah) to take the game to the fifth day. 20-30 runs, anything is possible. The lower order actually fought really well there and showed the top-order that you need to fight it out. You need to show character, you need to be brave enough, which I thought we weren't. We wanted to take some chances, we didn't take chances with the bat. But that can happen. It's the first game of the series, I hope the guys can learn from that," said Rohit Sharma at the post-match presentation.
England win!
Mohammed Siraj has been stumped with 29 needed to win. England win the first Test by 28 runs. Tom Hartley finishes with figures of 7/62. England go 1-0 up in the series.
ENGLAND WIN ! India lose for the first time after taking 100+ lead at home. This has been shambolic from India after 190 runs lead. Questions will be asked about spinners, captaincy, batting & rightly so. This has been shameful from them. #INDvsENG #INDvENG #ENGvsIND #AUSvWI pic.twitter.com/G3sqRnoyWS
