Vamsi: "What man DK is, stabilised the innings after a flurry of wickets and then finished the innings with a flurry of boundaries."

Deep: "DK doing finisher's job beautifully. I say he should be on the plane to Australia "

12.20pm So, India finish with 190 for 6, a score they will be delighted with. That India will reach 190 did not look a possibility at the end of the 16th over with the visitors struggling at 138 for 6. But Karthik, alongside Ashwin, changed the complexion of the innings as India smashed 52 runs in the last four overs. Earlier, Rohit got India off to a good start stroking a half-century but a middle-order stutter saw them lose wickets in clusters. Karthik and Ashwin, though, made sure the end was great. For the hosts, Akeal Hosein was miserly. The same can't be said of the other bowlers, though. Not long before the chase and it will Sudarshanan in the driver's seat when action resumes.
