Rohit Sharma: Hard to pinpoint where it went wrong. Having got a lead of 190, we thought we were very much in the batting. Exceptional batting, one of the best I have seen in Indian conditions by an overseas batter. We bowled in the right areas. The bowlers executed the plans really well, you got to take your hat to Pope and say well played. Overall, we failed as a team. We didn't bat well enough. I wanted them to take the game to the fifth day. The lower order fought really well there. You need to be brave enough, which I thought we weren't.

England played very well and they won the game with ease.

Congratulations to Eng.

What happened with gill man?

Such a disappointment

Ben Stokes: Since I have taken captaincy on, we have had a lot of fantastic moments. This victory is probably 100% our greatest triumph. It's my first time coming here and being a captain. I am a great observer of the game. I watched how Indian spinners operated, how Rohit set the field. Absolutely thrilled for everyone. Hartley to get nine wickets and Pope after his shoulder surgery. Tom came into the squad for the first time. A lot of confidence given. I was willing to give him longer spells. We completely back people who we have selected. The situation we found ourselves in, the shots he played, 190 on such a wicket, he was able to manipulate the field, that's the greatest innings ever played in subcontinent by an English batter.

Ollie Pope | Player of the Match: 100 percent (best knock). Coming here to India, toughest place for a batter, to start the series like this, heads and shoulders above the other four (hundreds). I got lucky there in the second innings. I played and missed a few. I was focused on covering the inside edge. I maintained that mindset and wanted to be positive with my sweep and reverse sweep.I have changed my technique slightly for this series. I have 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 game, they can finally get some sleep, will be nice catching up.

All the talk leading into the series was about how Bazball will fare against the spinners. They've certainly won the first round. There was a vast difference in terms of experience between the two teams in the spin department. Things got worse for the visitors with Jack Leach having a niggle for most parts of the Test. But England found a way to come out on top. Stokes's crucial runs with the lower-order, Root's four-fer, Pope's incredible ton ... England, however, will be most pleased with Hartley's performance. He was taken to the cleaners by Jaiswal in his opening spell on day one but the debutant bowled beautifully today to pick seven wickets in an innings.
