We had two fixtures today. New Zealand won by 1 wicket against Australia, which was a low-scoring match. The second match, India won comfortably against UAE by 9 wickets.

India captain MS Dhoni

We have had quite a few plans and it's important in these conditions that you execute them, not give opportunities to score freely. The bowlers have really stepped up, and in a team sport it starts to reflect in other departments too.

We dropped one catch today but the fielding has been brilliant. When we are losing quite a few games outside the subcontinent, it was an area of concern that we were not getting wickets in the middle overs. Now we are getting wickets with the new ball and the spinners are able to put more pressure on the batsmen in the middle overs.

We have to continue with the good effort. [Bhuvneshwar] looked good, first five overs he bowled he was looking sharper than he did when he came back from the injury and played the Test match. If he plays a few more games, we can see how he can bowl in the death overs also.

UAE captain Mohammad Tauqir:

It was not a par score on this wicket, we were outplayed by Indian bowling. They bowled really well, in good areas, we should have scored 200-plus. [Ashwin] bowled brilliantly, we couldn't cope with his bowling.

He was getting good bounce and turn on this wicket. That's our batting order, we know [Shaiman] can score a lot of runs down the order. I think the top order needs to be more responsible and score more runs for us.

R Ashiwn

I bowl at such phases of the game, it's more of cutting the runs out, it can get a little difficult, but [the lack of a four-wicket haul] was playing on my mind today after the first five overs.

When it comes to this format, I'm pretty much unselfish, it doesn't matter if I get the numbers or not as long as I put in the effort required. My wrist is getting into a good position, and that helps with the arm ball, the breeze helped as well. It was good to play the big teams initially, now we're on a roll

R Ashwin is the Man of the Match for his career best of 4/25

Rohit is on strike as Guruge continues his third over. First two deliveries ends in two dot balls followed by the first six of the innings towards leg side. Fine leg was just a spectator as he watches the ball go to the stand.

Rohit misses the ball and UAE players appeal as they believe there was an edge. Umpire seems not interested in the appeal and UAE go against using the review. There was a mix up between the players in the middle, no run was taken and both batsmen are safe. That's the end of the over.

Over 5: India 19 for 0: Shikhar Dhawan 10 (14), Rohit Sharma 9 (14)

Over 30: UAE 94 for 9: Shaiman Anwar 31 (46) Manjula Guruge 6 (10)

Over 23: UAE 68 for 8: Shaiman Anwar 11 (15) Mohammad Tauqir 0 (3)

Ashwin's fourth of the innings. Naveed, who had come out with a plan to dismantle the Indian attack, was bamboozled by the spinner, who broke past his defences as the player decided to give himself some room to slap him through the offside. One run of the over.

WICKET: Mohammad Naveed b Ashwin 6 (7b 0x4 1x6)

Over 22: UAE 67 for 7: Shaiman Anwar 11 (15) Mohammad Naveed 6 (5)

The seventh wicket goes down for UAE, who will do well to get past 100. However, Naveen has other plans, hitting Ravindra Jadeja for a beautiful six over wide long on. And as the saying goes, fortune favours the brave, he was given a lifeline by Suresh Raina, who failed to latch on to his poke, running straight into the fielder in the last ball of the over.

WICKET:Amjad Javed c Raina b Jadeja 2 (5b 0x4 0x6)

Over 21: UAE 61 for 6: Shaiman Anwar 11 (15) Amjad Javed 2 (4)

Seven runs of the over, facilitated by a brilliant boundary by Anwar. Short and wide, the batsman slapped it past cover, to take himself into 11 runs. The biggest over thus far for UAE, with seven runs coming of it.

Over 20: UAE 54 for 6: Shaiman Anwar 6 (12) Amjad Javed 2 (1)

WICKET: Rohan Mustafa lbw b MM Sharma 2

REVIEW: Rohan mustafa goes upstairs to overturn his decision for an LBW by Mohit Sharma

Two runs of the over from Ashwin, as Mustafa manages to keep the spinner at bay and keep his wicket intact.

Over 18: UAE 49 for 5: Shaiman Anwar 5 (11) Rohan Mustafa 0 (2)

Five runs of the over as Anwar hoicks Mohit Sharma for a four past square leg. The bowler recovers, bowling the next five balls, barring yet another wide, close to the wicket. India are truly on top and dont look like relenting any time soon.

Over 17: UAE 44 for 5: Shaiman Anwar 1 (5) Rohan Mustafa 0 (2)

Ashwin's third of the innings. UAE are not able to handle the spinner and are falling over like of a bag of pins around him. It is a wicket maiden for Ashwin, who is looking good to bulldoze through the UAE order, with the batsmen offering nothing of note thus far.

WICKET: Khurram Khan c Raina b Ashwin 14 (28b 1x4 0x6)

Over 16: UAE 44 for 4: Shaiman Anwar 1 (5) Khurram Khan 14 (24)

Three runs of the over for UAE, who are dealing in singles at the moment, trying best to keep the scoreboard ticking and not lose any more wickets. Three runs of the over takes their tally to 44 of 16 overs.

Over 15: UAE 41 for 4: Shaiman Anwar 0 (1) Khurram Khan 12 (22)

UAE are in deep trouble. Patil who was looking good with the bat has departed after yet another brilliant spell of bowling by Ashwin. The arm ball did in Patil, who was looking to defend but the ball swung away towards the slips, taking the edge and consummated by a brillant catch by Shikhar Dhawan. Shaiman Anwar is the new man on the crease.

WICKET: SP Patil c Dhawan b Ashwin 7 (19b 1x4 0x6)

Over 14: UAE 36 for 3: SP Patil 6 (17) Khurram Khan 9 (19)

A brilliant over yet again from india's perspective who are getting the hang of the innings. Mohit Sharma probed in and around the wicket for yet another maiden as Patil decided to play conservatively to preserve his wicket.

Over 13: UAE 36 for 3: SP Patil 6 (11) Khurram Khan 9 (19)

Two runs from the over by Ashwin, both coming in singles.

Over 12: UAE 34 for 3: SP Patil 5 (9) Khurram Khan 8 (15)

A productive over for UAE, taking five runs, with Patil hitting Mohit Sharma for a clean boundary down the off side. In other news, the wides continue and India continue to be on top in what can be a long evening for the UAE batsmen.

Over 11: UAE 28 for 3: Swapnil Patil 1 (3) Khurram Khan 8 (15)

The agony ends for Krishna Chandra as he edges an easy catch to leg slip from some crafty bowling by Ashwin. UAE find themselves three down as early as the 11th over. Mohit Sharma has come into the attack replacing Umesh Yadav at the other end.

WICKET: Krishna Chandran c Raina b Ashwin 4 (27b 0x4 0x6)

Over 10: UAE 28 for 2: Krishna Chandran 4 (25) Khurram Khan 8 (14)

The wides continue, their sixth of the innings thus far. It was a missed opportunity for Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Krishna Chandran edged past slips for his first single in over three overs. The two wides contributed to four runs as UAE trundle on, without any urgency whatsoever.

Over 9: UAE 24 for 2: Krishna Chandran 3 (24) Khurram Khan 7 (9)

A much needed boundary for UAE, who were stuck down by the probing bowling by the Indian pacemen. A short of a length ball by Kumar and Khurram slashed it to the left of the deep thirdman. A single put Chandran back on the crease where India alleviated the pressure by delivering yet another wide. Their fourth of the innings.

Chandran is clearly struggling, defending the ball back to the bowler for yet another dot.

Over 8: UAE 18 for 2: Krishna Chandran 3 (22) Khurram Khan 2 (5)

India need to keep a lid on the extras, with yet another wide ball taking the tally to three for the innings. UAE are struggling to cope with the pace duo of Kumar and Yadav and Chandran is struggling to get off the mark, having scored his last run over two overs back.

Over 7: UAE 16 for 2: Krishna Chandran 3 (19) Khurram Khan 1 (2)

Three runs of the over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar with four dot balls. Chandran did well to prise the ball through the covers for two runs and relieve the pressure. He has three runs of 19 runs and needs to get into the frontfoot or fear being caught into a tangle by the Indian bowlers.

Over 6: UAE 13 for 2: Krishna Chandran 1 (9) Khurran Khan 0 (0)

The first maiden of the innings for Umesh Yadav, as he stuck Chandran to the crease with some impressive bowling. Yadav was unlucky not to have a wicket in the over, having beaten the batsman more than once.

India are wholly on top and need to keep the pressure with the new ball.

Over 5: UAE 13 for 2: Krishna Chandran 1 (9)

Bhuvneshwar is in his third over and has conceded 9 runs from his first two. Chandran is struggling to get off the mark as no runs have been conceded from first four deliveries. In swing from Bhuvi and takes a little inside edge and runs down towards fine leg. Chandran gets off the mark with a single.

Bhuvneshwar pitches the ball hard and Ali tries to pull, only to take an edge and resulting in a simple catch for Dhoni. That's the end of Ali.

WICKET...!!! Amjad Ali 4 (12) c Dhoni b Bhuvneshwar

Over 4: UAE 12 for 1: Amjad Ali 4 (11), Krishna Chandran 0 (4)

Yadav is in his second over and concedes no run in first four deliveries. Yadav has been very good so far as he is pitching it in right areas. Ali tries to pull and Suresh Raina was at leg slip and puts the catch down. However, there was no bottom edge as it hits the thigh pad. Yadav finishes the over with a dot ball and he gets his first maiden over of the match.

Over 3: UAE 12 for 1: Krishna Chndran 0 (4), Amjad Ali 4 (5)

UAE manage to take five runs of the over with some conservative batting, taking five singles, a tactic they need to master if they have to put up a respectable score.

Over 2: UAE 7 for 1: Krishna Chndran 0 (2), Amjad Ali 1 (1)

A productive over for India as they manged to dispose of the dangerous Berenger and swooped into the top oprder of UAE.

OUT: AR Berenger c †Dhoni b Yadav 4 (9b 1x4 0x6)

Over 1: UAE 6 for 0: Andre Berenger 4 (6), Amjad Ali 0 (0)

UAE end the first over with a flurry, as Andre Berenger slices the ball through cover point to take the score up to 6/0. The opening runs had come from two wides after Bhuvneshwar Kumar had slid down the leg side.
