Ben Stokes (England Skipper): "No, coming into the last innings, we had full belief in ourselves to chase it down. We tried to take down the bowlers. But the number of runs to chase just added more to the excitement. The process and the best of ourselves come out when chasing a big total. But they played a fantastic game and it was great to be a part of this game.
There's no suggestion about how to play. You just play with whatever you think. Everyone are quality players and they have the better feeling whenever they come out. They know to assess the conditions and make the decisions.
(On captaining an inexperienced spin bowling attack) It's not a challenge. I absolutely love it. Only five to six Test matches between Bash, Tom and Rehan. Without Root and Anderson, they have showed great maturity and I'm proud as a captain.
Jimmy is incredible. You look at the way he and Bumrah bowled this week, it's great. Two quality bowlers bowling and you just have to take your hats off. You also saw the way Bumrah bowled this week and Anderson is that guy for us."

Rohit Sharma (India Skipper): "Yeah, it is. He (Bumrah) is a champion player for us. He keeps delivering for us. When you look at the performance, we did well overall. We knew it wasn't going to be easy in these conditions. So happy with the performance.
Jasiwal looks like a good player. Knows what to do in different situations. He has a long way to go. It was an exceptional knock in the first innings and I hope he stays humble and focuses on what needs for the team.
The wicket was good to bat on. A lot of our batters got starts but failed to convert them into big scores. We have to look into it but all are new to Test cricket. We just have to give them the confidence and play freely.
You know, very proud of the young squad. To come up against a team like that which won the first Test match, very positive. As I said, a lot of guys are young. It will take time but we have to be spot on and give them time and freedom. Keep talking about giving them time in the change rooms.
We love challenge. In the last two years, England have been playing great cricket. To win this game, it was quite pleasing. But we know the series is not over yet and we will look to keep performing in a similar manner going forward."

Player of the Match: Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah (Player of the Match): "I don't look at numbers. When I was young, I looked at numbers and got excited. But I don't look at it now. It gives extra baggage. The important thing was to win and I'm happy with it.
The yorker was the first delivery I learnt. While playing with the tennis ball, I learnt it. I saw on the television Waqar, Wasim and Zaheer execute it and I learnt it.
Not a leader. But I feel I have played a good amount of cricket as we are in a transition period. So, I feel it's my responsibility to give the youngsters knowledge.
Rohit has seen me growing up. We have conversations about what we should be doing and what not to do.
Not really, because before coming to cricket, I'm a fast bowling fan. I love watching fast bowling and I don't feel I have to pull up my socks. I feel happy when someone does well.
I try to solve the problems that are there. I feel I must have all the options in my armory and should not be a one-trick pony. I should execute it on the conditions that I play in."
