00:00We've got here today the crowds have been coming in
00:05Yes, the two teams of course come here from
00:08Hyderabad where one of the problems they had was getting used to the rather uneven nature of the pitch in a key game
00:14Like this they'll want a rather friendly pitch but to find out how this one's gonna behave
00:17We asked Jeffrey Boycott to go down there a short while back and this is what he had to say
00:22Pakistan five in the Sahara Cup six really haven't really had the kind of run chase that makes a one-day international so exciting
00:29You never know this game could just provide that kind of atmosphere the crowds would certainly love it
00:34Might just make it a good toss to win and to find out who actually won the toss a short while back Sunil Gavaskar was with the two captains
00:46Side onward tosses Tendulkar calls tails its heads
00:52You won the toss
00:54You're happy batting first looks like a good wicket
00:57Yeah, it looks full of runs and there's no wetness around I think it will probably play good and it might turn later on
01:04It must be a good feeling to win your first match as captain
01:07Yeah, it is but you should judge a captain in the login run not by this one match so
01:12Hopefully we'll play well today and as a combined team like you've been doing in the last game
01:16So it will be a good game all the best to you
01:19Thank you
01:20Sachin happy to chase
01:22It looks like a good track. I hope it doesn't break up towards the later part of the game
01:26But it should be a good match
01:28You must be disappointed at your lower order. They're not really contributing
01:31I know all I've asked them to do is score seven runs each so they score 28 runs among themselves
01:37Well all the very best to you there you are the Pakistan captain Said Anwar has won the toss and he has elected to bat
01:44Edged and this will be four runs the man at third man is two square
01:53Again some bounce and movement for Kuruvilla but in the end very well controlled by Said Anwar
02:00Again and this time a loud shout
02:05The keeper didn't go up
02:07The bowler thought he had got a neck
02:09But it was a very late appeal from Sabha Karim
02:12Once again Mohanty beating Said Anwar there and look at the reaction here of the batsman
02:21He's beaten there and he doesn't really turn back. Normally that's that's a sign to see when a bassman gets a neck
02:28The moment he plays very close to the bat and it's difficult to say whether there was a neck or not because we couldn't hear any sound
02:35But certainly very good bowling from Mohanty
02:41And that's what he's been sent out there for down the track over the offside the first boundary for Fridi
02:48And that's been hammered through backward a point by Said Anwar that's a top-class shot
02:58That really raced into the boundary
03:04This time he's found a gap right before runs for the taking
03:10Good cricketing shot from a Fridi
03:12Just stood up tall and punched it through the offside
03:15Nine runs coming off that last over of the bat
03:18And one wide signal so ten in total
03:21Three overs for 24 runs for Kuruvila
03:24Mohanty has bowled a lot better
03:27He has gone for ten runs but he has beaten the bat as well
03:38And four more runs here
03:39Vinok Tamli giving chase
03:40Oh that's a good piece of fielding
03:41Just put his boot in time there
03:44And saved a couple of runs
03:46Gets the applause even from the bowlers
03:54Oh that was smashed back past the bowler
03:56Luckily for the bowler the ball hit the stumps
03:59That was another boundary certainly
04:04He's really launched himself into this one here Fridi
04:06And the power with which it was hit
04:10The stump raffling out of the ground
04:15And this time
04:20He's found a gap
04:21Again hit with tremendous power
04:23Four more glorious cover drive
04:24Hit on the up again with tremendous power
04:26And Sachin Tendulkar really is having a tough time there
04:42Well the message is loud and clear now to the bowler
04:45That he has to alter his length
04:47He has to drop it a little shorter
04:48He's got cover now
04:49He's got a man at fine leg on the fence
04:51A man at square leg
04:52He's got to bowl into the rib cage of Fridi
04:55Otherwise he's going to continue being treated the way he is
04:59Four more
05:01He's given in the room
05:02And Fridi has hammered it
05:03So the third boundary of the over
05:05And the man here has taken off for Pakistan
05:18He's caught it
05:19So Tendulkar's plan has worked
05:21Sahed Anwar is caught and boiled
05:23And Rajesh Chawan actually a pretty good catch there
05:27Well it's exactly what I was mentioning about the change of pace
05:30You see Sahed Anwar he actually pushed through this ball
05:34It's fairly straight forward
05:36And he got to it too early
05:38Because he'd been used to the seamers coming on
05:41The seamers have come on
05:42And he's played through the line
05:43And here he's playing through the line
05:45And because he's a slower bowler
05:47He's played it too early
05:48I think that's a good result for the bowler
05:51But I think it's also nice for Tendulkar as captain
05:54It's lovely when one of your tactics comes off
05:56And that was a smart move by India
06:00So Sahed Anwar the man gone
06:02Cotton ball by Chahan for 18
06:03Shai the Fridi of course is going grey guns
06:05He's hitting every ball of the middle of the bat
06:07But Pakistan have already got away to the kind of start
06:10They'd love to have
06:11And they've got a very experienced man
06:13A man who's seen a lot of situations in life
06:15Coming in now, Ejaz
06:18Still a great run rate
06:23And it's just got better
06:24And straight back over the bowler's head
06:36This will take him to 50
06:39Another terrific knock by Shai the Fridi
06:42And he's given the Pakistanis a rousing start
06:46And what a tremendous way to get to your half century
06:50Treating a quick bowler like a spinner
06:52Abikkuru will I may not be as quick as he was two or three years back
06:58But he still is a very crafty bowler
07:01Very good with the new ball
07:03But after he's gone down the pitch as if he was a spinner
07:06And lofted him straight over the bowler's head
07:09Very impressive figures 44 balls to get to that 50
07:12And this is an even bigger hit
07:13And this is an even bigger hit
07:18He has really mittled that one
07:20And it's cleared the mid-wicket fence quite comfortably
07:24So this man is on a roll
07:26Ten runs of the last two deliveries
07:29And Pakistan really motoring along at this stage
07:32Well you talk about temperament in cricket
07:36This is what it is
07:38Having given him the charge
07:40It was fairly obvious that Corolla is going to pitch the next one short
07:43Anticipating that he would charge down the pitch once again
07:46But after he's staying put
07:47And when that short ball came along as predicted
07:51He was right in line with it
08:01This is again very good cricket by the young man
08:08It's been a very good innings for him
08:1191 for 1 Pakistan
08:12Rajesh Chahan here continuing
08:16Freebie the danger man
08:1957 just 46 deliveries
08:28Has he gone this time? Yes
08:30Giving Chahan the charge
08:32This time missing it altogether
08:34We'll have to wait and see whether Kareem put the bales off
08:37Or whether it went straight into his stumps
08:39But just what the Indians wanted
08:40Because he was looking really dangerous
08:43Shahid Afridi
08:45The Indians should be mighty pleased
08:47That they've dismissed the danger man
08:49And mighty relieved too
08:51Because he really was giving it some fearful stick
08:54Shahid Afridi
08:56This is the one that Chahan has bowled around the off stump
08:58Just outside he's been concentrating on the leg stump line
09:01And though Kareem didn't gather it
09:03It bounced off his gloves onto the stumps
09:05With Afridi well short
09:07So Pakistan have lost their second wicket for 91
09:10And he's given him in
09:12And like I said he's decided to press the other button
09:14That was out, no doubt about that
09:16And he's given him in and like I said he's decided to press the other button
09:18That was out, no doubt about that
09:31Well why that was not out is a mystery to me
09:44There's no doubt about it, that should have been given out
09:48Well Afridi stays there to live another day
09:57And the Indian Indian team just cannot believe it
10:02His gloves
10:05It drops here now
10:08He collects it clearly
10:10The bales are still intact
10:12It's 92 for one
10:17And Afridi scoring runs at will
10:20Heaved on the onside for another boundary
10:22And a glorious cover drive from Ijaz
10:23So Ganguly here welcome to the bowling crease with a cracking shot
10:36That's a very good shot from Ijaz
10:40And this will beat you know
10:44In fact it was Afridi
10:46Gave himself room and hit it wide of mid off
10:49So another boundary to end the over
10:52It's 120 for one
10:54This man's going to do a lot of smiling there
10:59Geez, hit some sensational shots today
11:01Shai, Afridi
11:03It's a big one
11:06It's got more height than distance
11:09And it's taken
11:11Abi Kuruvilla the catcher
11:15There's so much power behind that shot from Afridi
11:18That if he did it flatter he might even have hit it out of the ground
11:20As it happened
11:22Kulkarni gets his wicket after all
11:24Here we go
11:26If you notice Afridi's bottom hand
11:29And his back foot
11:31He's leaning onto his back foot
11:33Using his bottom hand
11:34That's why the ball went higher up in the air
11:37Rather than finding the distance
11:39It found the height
11:41I feel there
11:43It took a very comfortable catch
11:45So Afridi has gone for 72 from just 56 balls
11:48Six balls
11:49It's 126 for two
11:53And the crowd settles here at the National Stadium in Karachi
11:57Inzamamul Haqq has just walked out to bed
12:00At the fall of Afridi's wicket
12:04It's a lot more predictable now
12:10Six
12:11Got him
12:21Got him
12:23Muhammad Azaruddin down there at Galle
12:25That was a good catch
12:26Kept his eyes on the ball
12:27Got two hands to it
12:29And Pakistan have lost the wicket of Ejaz
12:31And Kulkarni's got one more
12:33Further proof that he's turning out to be a very good bowler
12:36Yes, what a brilliant catch
12:39Here we go
12:41Ball pitching outside off stump
12:44Ejaz
12:46Trying to play a square cut
12:48What a fantastic catch
12:50There's no evidence of any hamstring injury
12:53He went down to his right
12:55Took the catch in two hands
12:57So Ejaz is out for 31
13:00It's 148 now for three
13:01Salih Milai is the new batsman
13:0516 matches so far
13:07This could be a crucial phase as far as Pakistan are concerned
13:11Because he's someone trying to come back into
13:13The Pakistan side
13:15He'll be followed by Hassan Raza
13:17He was a young man trying to make it big too
13:19Ganguly continuing
13:22Oh, that's a good shot, isn't it?
13:24He is a deceptive player
13:27Then I think Pakistan will struggle even to get to 250
13:36That's very good running
13:39In all fairness to Inzamaa Mulhak
13:42There have been a lot of jokes cracked at his expense
13:45But he darted off very quickly for that first and that allowed him to come back for two
13:49Shohan showing the urgency that's so desperately needed in a situation like this
13:55You need to go through those overs
13:57He's gone up, I think the bat hit the ground, 188 for three
14:01Tenduka's pre-match plans must have had
14:12Robin Singh and Ganguly bowling
14:15Probably 14 or 15 in an ideal situation
14:1814 or 15 overs between them
14:20Ganguly's bowled 10
14:22And Robin is now in his sixth and looking pretty good
14:23That's a good shot
14:25That's an excellent shot
14:27That's a good shot
14:29That's an excellent shot
14:33Yes of course, that was a magnificent shot
14:35Because Robin Singh putting a very tidy line in length
14:39Not giving any room whatsoever to the batsman
14:42But here Salim Lahey stepping out
14:44And with the swing
14:46Playing in the vacant mid-wicket area
14:49And he timed it to perfection
14:52Beautiful shot
14:53Picking up four runs
14:54For his team
15:04There's a man in the deep
15:05Lahey wants a second
15:07He'll have to be happy with one
15:08It's 195 for three
15:12He takes it considerably
15:14So Chauhan picks up another wicket
15:15Will currently the catcher on that occasion
15:18And Salim Lahey's innings comes to an end
15:21Once again
15:25Bringing to the fact that
15:29When the bowler gives the ball just a little bit of air
15:32And then he can deceive the batsman
15:35Rajesh Chauhan didn't give it too much air
15:36Didn't bowl it too flat either
15:38But he deceived the batsman into playing a lofted shot
15:41When he wasn't quite to the pitch of it
15:42To Salim Lahey is gone for 18
15:45And Pakistan are 197 for 4
15:48So Mohen Khan comes out to the middle
15:53With Pakistan still having some work to do
16:00They've got themselves into a good position
16:02But they've also lost their way a bit in the last 10 overs
16:05This was the dismissal of Lahey
16:07Again not quite getting to the pitch of the ball
16:09Not hitting it clean enough to clear that man at long off
16:13And Kulkarni making no mistake
16:15So Sonny the Indians really have come back well in the last 10 overs
16:19They have indeed
16:21Particularly the way
16:23Angulkar has led the team
16:25The way Ganguly cut the scoring rate
16:28As did Robin Singh
16:30They have come on very well indeed
16:32So all credit to the Indians for having fought back
16:34At one stage they were looking as if
16:35They're looking at a score of 300 plus
16:38But maybe they might be able to get Pakistan for less than that now
16:42Yes and if they do get rid of Inzamam
16:46Then they can really contain them to around 260-270
16:48How's that? How's that? How's that?
16:59Good thinking there from Sabha Karim
17:02He first went up for a catch and has now appealed for a stumping
17:05I think Mohan Khan might have just made his ground
17:08Yes I think Sabha Karim showed very quick presence of mind
17:13He first went for the caught behind appeal
17:16When he actually should have tried to get the bales off
17:21Maybe he got the bales off a fraction of a second too late
17:24But he must have been very confident about the caught behind
17:28That's when he's gone up in the air
17:32Doesn't seem to be a deflection
17:34But this is the time when that little fraction of a second
17:38He's taken him away that jump if you see
17:40When he jumps up in that excitement
17:42It's taken him away from the stumps
17:45There he jumps up now
17:47And that jumper see he's gone to the right
17:50And which has meant that when he realizes that Mohan Khan is out of the crease
17:54It takes him a while to whip the bales off
17:57And that might have allowed Mohan Khan enough opportunity
18:00Enough time to get his foot back in
18:02Yes, sometimes you wonder if Karim had not appealed
18:05And his arms were down, it would have been an easy stumping
18:08But I think Mohan Khan is safe here
18:11Well he certainly has been pressing the green button
18:16Well let's hope he's consistent
18:27200 coming up with that single
18:30200 for for Pakistan after 38 overs
18:33A good effort there in the deep by Zadeja
18:47But that wasn't good enough
18:49Because Ims and Maam had really struck that ball well
18:54And that boundary bringing up his half century
18:57So another fine innings from the big man
18:58And that's one of the disadvantages of being an open batsman, Ravi
19:13In situations like this which are beyond your control
19:17You only get 10 minutes
19:19Batsman number 3, 4, 5
19:22Get maybe a little more time
19:24A little more time
19:29A little wide signal
19:33So another extra delivery
19:40Oh the river sweep in the air
19:43And still firmly unable to hold on to that
19:46So another children's girls are begging
19:48Trying the reverse sweep
19:58Mohan Khan the ball looping up in the air
20:00And the regulation catch there
20:03Spilled by Nilesh Kalkani
20:07And another problem
20:09Again a halt in play
20:12And again something to do with the spectators
20:16So this is the third time we've had a stoppage in play
20:19And again you can see the object being thrown there
20:22That doesn't look very nice
20:24And the Indian players aren't happy
20:36And the Indian players aren't happy
20:42We have a hurry on that one
20:44Oh!
20:46Parinzaman made it in time
20:47That's how it happened
20:48The throw was from short fine leg
20:50And that's how it happened
20:52The throw was from short fine leg
20:54And that's how it happened
20:55Yes quite comfortably in Nzimam
20:57When constructed Nzimam knew he was running towards the danger end
20:59He had to hurry
21:01He had to hurry
21:05That's beautifully played
21:23My just go all the way
21:25The right foot comes in in time from Jaja
21:28The right thing once again
21:29Throwing it in Zimam's in
21:30Because the man was slowing up
21:31Huge credit
21:33Beautiful shot
21:35Beautiful shot
21:37The slog
21:38And it's cleared the boundary
21:40You could almost see that coming
21:54The moment he missed that slow one
21:55There was a grunt of disapproval from Moin
21:57And he just launched into this next one
22:00And he just launched into this next one
22:01This is about the only time in the match you'll get to see shots like those
22:11Just a single
22:15Bit too wide outside off stump
22:18Moin Khan had no problem hitting the ball through the offside
22:22Yes, this is a real test for a young fastballer
22:26Coming onto the ball
22:27The closing stages of this match
22:28When
22:29Inzimam who is in tremendous form
22:32He has got 74 runs on the board
22:35And Moin Khan who is batting extremely well
22:3832, both batsmen are set
22:40And this is a real test for the youngster
22:42I fear, I really fear that we've got another problem here
22:49Because Saurav Ganguly has just come up to Sachin Tenduka with another stone
22:53This is very bad news
22:58This is terrible news
22:59I was just telling you that the last time these two teams played here
23:02At the National Stadium in Karachi
23:03The match had to be called off only in its 15th over
23:06And the interesting thing about the last stoppage was seen
23:09Was that the match referee Ranjan Madhugala
23:11Is an international cricketer
23:12He's also a young man
23:14And very friendly with both sides
23:16He just put an arm around Sachin Tenduka
23:17And said come on young man, let's get on with it
23:20Which is a pretty good strategy to adopt
23:23But I think Sachin Tenduka has now decided he's had enough
23:26This is a sad day
23:28Yes, I really don't blame Sachin Tenduka
23:30And especially the fielder who's fielding
23:32Or who are fielding on the boundary line
23:34It's just the one or two people who ruin for everyone
23:38You know the funny thing about this if you want to find something
23:44Is that Ranjan Madhugala was staying up in the game in Hyderabad
23:47But I haven't had much to do
23:49And look what he's got here at Karachi
23:51He's got his hands full, he's got everything
23:54He's got a plate full of problems here
23:56Does Ranjan Madhugala
23:57He's had to reschedule the number of overs
23:58He's got to decide that there will only be a ten minute stoppage
24:01He's got to rule on the number of overs
24:03As I batting second has
24:04And all those problems was now seem minor
24:08Because Sachin Tenduka has now decided he's had enough
24:12And while the players didn't walk off the ground on the first three stoppages
24:17They have decided to do right that
24:18Now Madhugala is out there in the middle
24:20And I don't think Sachin Tenduka is in too much of a mood
24:24To have a conversation with him there
24:27This is very sad and we keep saying it's very sad Vaseem
24:30But I'm not sure it adds up to too much more
24:34Because if somebody has decided that they don't want a cricket match
24:37Then I guess it's very difficult to convince them that a cricket match should in fact be played
24:43Now there's Indian team out there
24:47A lot of people out there in the middle
24:49And this is the situation
24:52Pakistan 265 for 4
24:54From 47.2
24:56Inzama was 74 not out
24:58Mohin Khan was 32 not out
25:00And he's decided that we cannot allow the Pakistan innings to go on any further
25:04Without disturbing the scheduled start of play of the Indian innings
25:06So the situation here is that the Pakistan's innings will now stand closed at 265 for 4
25:13The match referee will make an official ruling in the next few minutes about how many overs India will get
25:18When it's their turn to bat again
25:19I'm afraid all this is very confusing
25:22But it's had a lot to do with some unfortunate crowd behaviour that we've had over here
25:26So the required run rate over five and a half runs per over
25:42And this should be four runs
25:44Beautifully timed by Ganguly on the onside
25:46A chase for Anwar but the ball will win
25:47And that's a strength he won't have to run for that
25:59Superb timing again
26:02So consecutive boundaries on either side of the wicket for Ganguly
26:06Oh beautiful shot by Ganguly
26:12This time it's Wakar Yunus' turn to get the punishment
26:14Once he's given him width
26:17Oh he's blazed at that one
26:22That'll be four runs
26:24First boundary for the Indian captain
26:26Right on top of that one
26:31Well Akip is not enjoying this at all
26:34He's been hit around in the first over
26:37And now he's given width to the Indian captain
26:40Short and wide
26:41He's asking for punishment
26:44He bowled so well in the final overs in the first match at Hyderabad
26:49Bowled it up into the block hole
26:52Here he's giving the batsman a lot of width
26:56The Indian so far just about keeping up with the run rate
26:58And this will be another boundary
27:04A Cairn hit on the up
27:06Lovely follow through
27:08Nice straight back
27:14And that's been
27:16Dismissed from his presence by Tindulga
27:18A classic shot for six
27:20He didn't even go back on that back foot
27:22Off the front foot
27:23He smashed him in front of square for six
27:25So what an over that for India
27:2734 for no loss
27:31That's four more
27:33Don't have to run for those
27:35Again, exquisite timing
27:36Oh, brilliant
27:42Again, you can't get better placement than that
27:46There is a man at gully
27:48There is a man just at backward point
27:50There is only a slight gap between them
27:52Ganguly has rounded to perfection
27:54But what is hard to understand is why
27:57Vakar Yunus is trying to
27:58Ball to Ganguly's strength
28:00He's trying to ball around his off stump
28:02He got him out with a ball that tucks him up
28:04On the
28:06Around the hips in the first match
28:08Here he's giving Ganguly all the room in the world
28:11To play his shots
28:13One would have imagined that Vakar Yunus
28:15Would try to
28:17Ball to Ganguly's weakness
28:19Which is a supposed weakness
28:20Or supposed weakness
28:21Which is around his hips
28:23Around his waist
28:25Somewhere shortish around there
28:27But instead he's bowling to his strength
28:30The boundaries are coming from just about anywhere now
28:36He's played some lovely shots Ganguly
28:39But that's four runs he'll consider himself lucky to get
28:4250 on the board
28:44Well, it's a streaky one
28:45It's off the edge
28:46And they haven't got the confidence to have a slip in
28:48Because the balls disappear into all parts
28:50No footwork there by Ganguly
28:52But in one day cricket
28:53It's just a matter of how many runs you get
28:58Poor ass money from heaven that
29:00You keep bowling out there
29:01You've got to be crackers to keep bowling outside of stump
29:04The crucifier all day
29:05The super shot
29:06He's given it everything
29:07He's given it everything
29:12Once again some room outside the off
29:16And they say Geoffrey don't they
29:18Or probably they don't in your book
29:19Because you never slashed
29:20When you slash you slash hard
29:21The Javits two of us cost him 27
29:22And Azar Mahmood
29:23He's now bowling and he's got the wicket
29:24What a catch by Mohin
29:25The move was looking for that little space to the right of Mohin
29:39Played it a little too fine
29:41Breakthrough that the Pakistan team was looking for
29:43Well what a catch
29:44This was a real corker wasn't it?
29:45Well what a catch
29:46This was a real corker wasn't it?
29:47He had one like this in Hyderabad
29:48That he got his hand to and dropped
29:49Well what a catch
29:50This was a real corker wasn't it?
29:51He had one like this in Hyderabad
29:52That he got his hand to and dropped
29:53Well what a catch
29:54This was a real corker wasn't it?
29:55He had one like this in Hyderabad
29:56That he got his hand to and dropped
29:57But this time
29:58Not a second time
29:59This went quick
30:01Yes thank you
30:02And held on to it
30:03When he hit the ground
30:05That's what you want
30:06Your keeper
30:07Your fielders
30:08To back up the bowlers
30:10The Indian fielding
30:11I thought at times
30:12Was quite sloppy
30:13But
30:14So Pakistan
30:16The Indian fielding
30:17I thought at times
30:18Was quite sloppy
30:19But
30:20So Pakistan
30:21Can help their bowlers
30:22If they catch the catchers
30:25Feel everything
30:26And that's a really big breakthrough
30:28They needed something to happen
30:30And Yolka gone
30:32No disgrace
30:33It was a cracker of a catch
30:34Was that?
30:36He's gone for 21
30:37It's 71 for one
30:42We know Kamli's got a batting average of 37
30:44But it's more recent batting average
30:46If you look at the last 20 innings
30:47It would probably not be as high as that
30:49But this is a big occasion for him
30:55And he starts off here with a boundary
30:59That's pulled away
31:01In front of mid wicket even
31:02And this should be four runs again
31:13Fine leg was up in the circle
31:14A moment
31:15Akib Jagat
31:16Straight on to leg stump
31:17And Kamli got some bat on it
31:18In fact
31:19Gambuli
31:20It was four runs for the taking
31:21And what a way to bring up his half century
31:23A superb innings again
31:24From this very talented man from Calcutta
31:27It's 85 for one
31:31It's 85 for one
31:39And he's got hold of that one
31:40And four runs through mid wicket
31:43Again just a little short
31:45And we're not Kamli on that occasion
31:47Didn't waste any time
31:48Rocking back on that back foot
31:50So boundary there to end the over
31:5295 for one
31:55As I remember this is the bowler
32:02I feel that they are going to go after
32:05What a beautiful shot
32:06That one is
32:07Magnificent shot by Gambuli
32:08And it was sheer perfection
32:12Both in timing and placement
32:14They needed a boundary
32:15And they got it
32:16And I'm sure that will
32:17Relieve a little bit of tension
32:20From the Indian Bassman
32:26Interesting that he hasn't had
32:27Too many scoring opportunities
32:28In that area
32:30Straight skill lies in
32:33Using every one of them
32:34That come his way
32:40No ball
32:44It might just have been very silly
32:46Because you're going to get a run
32:48Of the no ball anyway
32:50Don't think either of them
32:51Would have seen any replay at all
32:52If it got run out on a no ball
32:57It's in the end I think
32:59They decided against it
33:00Because that really would have been
33:02Very silly
33:04Had they lost a wicket
33:05To a no ball
33:06That to run out
33:07But we know it calmly
33:08Was well home
33:16And they get their single
33:17Quite easily now
33:20That's the best
33:21That's what one day pitches really should be
33:29Because the crowds coming to watch the boundaries
33:31And the sixes
33:33They don't want to come and watch a low scoring game
33:36Where one team has got a hundred and sixty
33:38And the other team struggles to get there
33:40In forty-four overs
33:41Or forty-five overs
33:42Or forty-five overs
33:43As happened in Hyderabad
33:44Or as was happening in Toronto
33:47What they really want to see
33:48Is the big hits
33:49Oh!
33:50What a cracker!
33:51What a cracking shot!
33:52Lovely use of the feet
33:53Down the pitch
33:54And bang!
33:55What a cracker!
33:56What a cracker!
33:57What a cracking shot!
33:58What a cracking shot!
34:01Lovely use of the feet
34:02Down the pitch
34:03And bang!
34:05Well if the Pakistanis have had time to regroup
34:09So also have the Indians
34:11Because at the drinks interval
34:13Surely there would have been some instructions
34:15Given to both the batsmen
34:17What a shot!
34:21What a shot!
34:23Wasn't it?
34:25That was class!
34:26That's how young Cambly used to play
34:29I haven't seen him play like this for a while
34:31Down the pitch
34:32Use of the feet
34:34That's a good clean smack
34:46He's got him
34:48Wicket-taking bowler
34:50He's got the wicket that Pakistan so desperately wanted
34:52The wicket is Saurav Ganguly
34:54And is this match taking another twist?
34:57Saurav Ganguly is gone
34:58It's 169 for 2
34:59And as you'll see, Wasim
35:01Looking to play a little inside edge
35:02Chip shot
35:04Yes!
35:06There's Yunus
35:08Fishing it outside leg stump
35:10And Saurav Ganguly giving himself room
35:13Looking to hit the ball
35:14On the offside
35:16In the end just chipping it to extra cover
35:19As I said earlier on
35:20This is a very crucial moment for Pakistan
35:22And they should be taking wicket or two in this
35:25In these last ten overs
35:27Ganguly's gone for 89
35:28It's 169 for 2
35:34Muhammad Aziruddin comes out to bat
35:36Very experienced cricketer
35:38And that's Saurav Ganguly's contribution
35:3989 from 96
35:40Too slow, too wide for the man at third man
35:54Welcome boundary for India
35:58Probably going to get four
35:59Kamuly's on 49
36:00He's on 50
36:03In fact he's on 53
36:04Because there is no cover there
36:05That's not good bowling by Azhar Mahmood
36:07Because he's got a field on the offside
36:09He's just drifted
36:11Down the on
36:128 from the over
36:13It's 177 for 2
36:14This is outstanding fielding
36:26And I just have the feeling
36:28That Vinod Kamuly might be in very very big trouble here
36:32I think the fielder has won that contest
36:43He's starting to walk already is Kamuly
36:47Aziruddin played the shot
36:48Call for the run
36:50Kamuly was just a bit slow to get out of his
36:53Out of his
36:56Blocks
36:57Yes, he was about a meter short
37:00Fantastic piece of feeling
37:06So that's the wicket Pakistan wanted
37:08That's the wicket they've got
37:10And now
37:11We're going to have two new batsmen in
37:12It's going to be a completely different game
37:15India
37:16179 for 3
37:18With 15 overs to play
37:23Ajay Jadeja comes in
37:24At the fall of Vinod Kamuly's wicket
37:26Very well played innings from Kamuly
37:2853 from 76
37:30So India have lost the two batsmen
37:32Who'd put on 98 runs
37:33And had built up the platform
37:35For the victory charge
37:37Now they've got two new men in
37:38And this could be a crucial phase
37:39Take a look at this one
37:40A brilliant pick up
37:42And he got rid of the ball
37:44As soon as he picked it up
37:46A direct throw
37:48Kamuly was about a meter
37:50Out of his
37:51Trees
37:53Now
37:55The pressure
37:56Is mounting on India
37:57Two new batsmen
37:59Raka Yunus
38:00Bowling with great fire
38:10Spread the ball in the gap
38:11This might go all the way it does
38:12And another direct hit
38:13And this could again be close
38:14Azharuddin could be in trouble
38:15Well Pakistan has been very accurate in their
38:32At the target hitting the stumps every time they throw the ball
38:35That India was missing when they were fielding earlier on
38:37When they were fielding earlier on
38:38And here Jadeja
38:39Pushing it
38:40To Syed Anwar
38:41Who's a left-hander
38:42Picking up the ball
38:43And in one action throwing the ball
38:45And Azharuddin
38:48And that big cheer
38:50You can hear from this
38:52Massive crowd at the national stadium
38:55Confirms
38:57That Azharuddin is out
38:59And Pakistan has certainly fought back into this game
39:01In the air he's gone
39:02So another breakthrough here for Pakistan
39:04Shahid Afridi is struck
39:05Ajay Jadeja is dismissed
39:07And Pakistan here right on top of the stage
39:09And certainly that cricket
39:11Must have given the Pakistani supporters
39:12And the Pakistani field in the middle
39:15A lot of joy
39:16Because they all know
39:18They all know
39:19They all know
39:20They all know
39:21They all know
39:22They all know
39:23They all know
39:24They all know
39:25They all know
39:26They all know
39:27They all know
39:28And they all know
39:29A lot of joy
39:30Because they all know
39:31They all know
39:33Who just got out
39:34He has shown in the past
39:35And here going after
39:36Shahid Afridi
39:38Not getting on top of the ball
39:40And going away from his boundaries
39:42Spooning that catch
39:43to Ejaz Ahmed
39:44And delightful Ejaz
39:45Gratefully accepting that catch
39:47Ajay Jadeja getting out
39:49ih Jadeja's
39:50Bold Afridi
39:51for eight
39:56He was out for 53
39:5753, Azaruddin run out as well and Ajay Jadeja dismissed in the last over.
40:17So still 66 runs required, India reaching the 200 mark with that single.
40:27It's found one at Sabah Karim, first bounce into the boundary at mid-wicket.
40:39It's gone a long way, that hasn't cleared, six, no doubt at all, that's a big six straight over.
40:47No doubt that was almost a flat six.
40:51He really clobbered this against the spin, flat battered it almost.
40:56The ball wasn't quite full enough and it's over the top.
41:01We've still got a game on everybody, this is not over yet.
41:06I think they've done the hard part of India, they've got themselves within seven runs of a runner ball.
41:13And that was the difficult bit, where was the big over going to come?
41:20That's four, that's four.
41:22No doubt about that and I think it was deliberately played.
41:25That really you could say was a bit of an edge but it was also deliberately dabbed there.
41:30If you watch the bat, he sees it's outside of the stump, he's deliberately trying to get that little sort of edge, he places it there.
41:39That's smart batting.
41:40Very clever stuff.
41:4117 balls, 19 runs.
41:46Light's still good.
41:48He's got bat on ball and he's gone for four.
41:55Sabah Kareem is discovering powers of batsmanship that he hasn't displayed for a long time and he's discovering some inspiration.
42:06Oh!
42:07Oh!
42:08Oh!
42:09Oh!
42:10Oh!
42:11Oh!
42:12Stump him, stump him, run him out.
42:13There's all sorts going on.
42:16Kareem, Kareem, you can make a name for yourself in India, you can be the star in tomorrow morning's papers.
42:23You can be the star at every news station.
42:26Can you do it?
42:27So near and so far.
42:30Well that's one way of looking at it.
42:33From Kareem's point of view, I hope he's not telling himself.
42:35If I mark it from here, then I'm not going to be seen anywhere in India.
42:40I hope he's not written his winning speech yet.
42:42A lot could happen.
42:45It's never over till it's over.
42:48Concentrate.
42:49Concentrate on the ball.
42:50Don't think about what you're going to say if you win.
42:55Three dot balls and it's over.
42:57Already.
42:58Ball in.
42:59Great pass baller.
43:00Ball straight.
43:01He's not the stump's over.
43:02Robin Singh must feel all alone at the other end.
43:03Nine to get still.
43:04Just an over and a ball lift.
43:05I told you, Harsher.
43:06I told you that swinging Yorker.
43:07That's the one.
43:08Get it on target.
43:09Too much for the tail enders.
43:10Once he gets his line.
43:11They have gone absolutely mad.
43:12Here it comes.
43:13Sets out outside of stump.
43:14Through the gate.
43:15Thank you very much.
43:16Go and get an early bath.
43:17What a beauty it was.
43:18Still a very very good innings from Saba Karime.
43:19Made 26 from 32 balls and India.
43:20257 now for six.
43:21I told you.
43:22I told you that swinging Yorker.
43:23I told you that swinging Yorker.
43:24That's the one.
43:25Get it on target.
43:26Too much for the tail enders.
43:27Once he gets his line.
43:28They have gone absolutely mad.
43:29Here it comes.
43:30Sets out outside of stump.
43:31Through the gate.
43:32Thank you very much.
43:34Go and get an early bath.
43:35What a beauty it was.
43:37Still a very very good innings from Saba Karime.
43:42Made 26 from 32 balls.
43:44And India.
43:45257 now for six.
43:47six
43:56listen to that crowd going wild
44:03pressure you think you know about pressure
44:08what do you think johan's thinking this crowd is going mad
44:13all because wackers knocked over wacky it's carrying stumps
44:23watch chohan's eyes watch how he's going to try and open his eyes wide he's
44:27getting a bit murky here he knows he's going to get that in
44:30swinging yorker
44:35the umpires the pressure's got to the umpire
44:39what's he doing he's running he's set the bales again
44:43where's your money harsha not a gambling man jeffrey
44:48not an expert either
44:59i don't know i've seen this show honey i've made many runs recently but he
45:03come back to big candy who's your money on jeffrey
45:07my money's in me pockets oh i'm not that
45:11like the holding said this was important he's going to bowl him out of the
45:14swinging yorker oh he's got back on it he's got a run
45:19that's good and it's bad that's the run but it's the end of the
45:24over there so that means that johan has the strike
45:29it's 258 for six with one over to go
45:35so rajesh shohan he's got a century in first class cricket against him but he's
45:40really translated those runs into international cricket he doesn't want a
45:44century he wants a single somewhere get robin singh on strike oh full toss that's a long way
45:53what a shot to hit in a situation like this robin singh has slapped his bat
45:59and rajesh shohan has just hit the biggest six he'll ever hit in his life
46:02that cleared the boundary by a good seven or eight yards he won't hit a more important ball in his
46:08whole life the crowd is stunned there's almost silence as it sails over the boundary for six
46:15can you believe it the hardest bowler in both sides to hit saklay mustak bowls a full toss trying to
46:22bowl a book yorker an easy cross does he know the game in this one ball has disappeared just like that
46:33two runs to get
46:38sound of silence here at the national stadium in karachi two runs from five balls the field is in
46:51he wants a run robin singh has gone sprawling away and the umpires called for the third for the replay
46:59robin singh was diving away
47:01now this is going to be interesting two runs from five balls we've taken a chance against some
47:09excellent pakistani throwing here it is the throw is on its way oh he's got to be in
47:23you really can't tell from that but he looked like he was in by a long way
47:27so often you can tell from the body language before the decision has been made the fielders are
47:33getting back to business green light is on the scores are level why would you want to take a risk
47:40when all you want is two little runs why would you want to risk being run out two little singles
47:51it's one we're looking at it jeffrey the second is he'd say he was a yard in
47:54now just a run needed four balls left everyone is in everybody inside the circle the last man from
48:02mid-wicket is just being called in pakistan need a hat-trick
48:13he's gone through with a shot it's down to long leg there was a man there they've taken the single
48:17and surely they should be the bills are off and india have done it robin singh puts his arms up
48:24what a great innings and that's a smile of a very very happy man india have won they've drawn level
48:30in this wheels challenge great innings by robinson great little cameo but rajesh chauhan is going to
48:35relive that moment all his life the indians are out on the ground there is sure of ganguly realizes that
48:41it was probably his shot that started the collapse and robin singh is going to be the star not only
48:47in the indian dressing room here he's going to be the star all over india tonight it's a little after
48:53half past six in india they'll all be watching sensational win the wheels challenge is still alive
49:00second of october the final game at lahore we'll see the decider
