4.35 pm That's it. The players shake hands, Test one has been drawn. A spectacular fight from England to give themselves a chance, a shot at the win. At one stage, it looked like Kohli stood between England and the win, that's what it proved to be for the final hour. England's spinners were mighty effective on a wearing fifth-day track. India's batsmen fought and fought and just had enough. Kohli kept one end shut with 49*, and Jadeja's unbeaten 32 at his home ground helped India save the game. Not many would have expected England to come this close and credit to their spinners at the end.

Time for the presentation.

Moeen Ali is the Man of the Match: "Very good pitch. Enjoyed batting with Rooty. We feel like we've prepared really well. Something I've developed over the past few years, in international cricket, the pace is important. I thought we played spin really well here."

Alastair Cook: "Really tough five days, good toss to win. In India if you score 530, you're always in the game. good cricket wicket. Relentless with the ball, we didn't let India score too quickly. To keep them to 480, we did well. The way Has (Hameed) played was brilliant. Wanted to make them score something they couldn't get. Flat for the first three days, and then turned more and more. He (Hameed) looked the real deal in the first innings, we certainly found a batsman there, he certainly looks a good 'un. Adil stepped up another level."

Virat Kohli: "Good opportunity to find out new things about your game. Couldn't get a better chance to practice other aspects of your game (towards the end). Important to convince yourself you can negotiate what's thrown at you. We could have been much better on days 1 and 2. We dropped five catches. England are a side we are not going to take for granted. Good to get things done in the end. Need to correct the things we need to. England's bowlers put constant pressure. We need to accept what happened."

Joe Root: "Slight frustration, credit to Cooky and Has for setting the game. A lot of confidence going into the next one. We have to make sure we put the hardwork in for the next Test. We're doing some good stuff at the moment. So many chances that could have gone, that could have happened. We gave our everything in those 50 overs. That second innings score is not a fair reflection of the wicket, the top order was outstanding."
