Make callback after play button is pushed - Youtube embed video

I have a Youtube video embeded on my website. The code is as below

<iframe width="280" height="180" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U5BVeZybEV4" title="YouTube video player"  allowfullscreen></iframe>

What I want to do is, when I click on Play button of the Video, it should execute a javascript alert function as

alert("Clicked Play");

Same way, if I click on Pause button, it should execute a javascript alert function as

alert("Clicked Pause");

Any suggestion how can I catch these Events ?

Thanks in advance.
