That's not a panic situation we just have to keep working hard.
It's a great day for me and a great day for the England team. I felt in pretty good form all the way through.
The wicket looked flat but it didn't transpire that way. We've got to be ready for any type of wicket... we've got to be able to react quickly to how the wickets start off that's what we haven't done quite well enough so far on this tour.
It was a fantastic effort from three pretty young, inexperienced bowlers. To get India five down early was the key to winning the game and they deserve great credit.
This has been a little while coming, to be honest.
The young seam attack did very well in testing conditions.
The way the series has gone it's a great possibility it might be a very close game,
The one-day series is a big challenge for us. India is a great one-day side but we are looking forward to carry forward the momentum of the Test series.
The heat got to a lot of us, including me. But this is India and it was a good experience for us.
The guys are all pretty confident about their techniques,
The key was to get a good start, keep wickets in hand and we were able to do that. A lot of credit should go to the seam bowlers. They set the game up for us. It was a very flat wicket and they did a great job first up.
