Full commentary

and the crowd invades the pitch!

Prasad caught in the midst!

as the crowd just lifts him up. Kokinos tries to protect Prasad and is mobbed himself

poor Prasad in danger of life as a happy crowd just toys with him

this is a crazy crowd out there

India enters the super six on run rate, ending the group at 2nd position

it is South Africa, India and Zimbabwe in that order

however, Zimbabwe goes through with 4 points, South Africa with two point and India with nothing in hand

Match State: India won by 63 runs

presentation ceremony

Alec Stewart receiving a cheque for $3000

Gavaskar asks him whether Stewart should have batted first in hindsight

Gavaskar also asks him a rather funny question: "where does England cricket go from here"?

Stewart just escapes that question with "we have New Zealand to play next... and so on"

Azharuddin picks up $6000

Azhar says he always knew Mohanty will bowl well in this conditions

and allowed him to bowl first

says he is not worried about Zimbabwe going through with 4 points

that he will have to win everything now

man of the match: Saurav Ganguly

Ganguly says he enjoys bowling here (in England), and brushes aside the way he was dismissed (runout from Dravid's stright drive brushing bowler's fingers)
