With that India have ended a drought of 15 years. Their first Test win outside the subcontinent in 15 years!

The players all walk off the ground now, it's all pleasant scenes all around as the players shake hands

It has been a good Test match to watch for everyone. There's been all the elements people look for - Good batting, spectacular fielding and yes some effective bowling as well

India go into the second Test at Harare in a position from which they cannot lose the series

1-0 up is a good way to be and Sourav Ganguly will be well pleased
