I’ll deal with the football first – delighted Ronaldo is back at Manchester United, there’s a real buzz that he’s back in the Premier League… India today, (just) fantastic. Because the ball did a bit, it was seaming around… That opening partnership played with great substance and Pujara, I don’t know what he’s been drinking but he came out playing! He found is mojo and that was great to see” said Vaughan.
