Umesh Yadav: I have been bowling with the new ball since the start of the tournament, but happy that I got a couple of wickets today. Have been working in the nets, having a word with Ashish Nehra as well, so happy that I executed my plans today. If you are accurate in the powerplay, chances of getting wickets is high. Just had to hit the right areas. The wicket is a little spongy, think a little dew has also started to settle in.
21:15 Local Time, 15:45 GMT, 21:15 IST: GT will be very happy that they have kept LSG to 163. At least 20 short on this wicket.
