00:00Sachin Tendulkar, the captain, demoting himself, low down the order,
00:02Mohamed Azrutin, Ajay Jadeja, Anil Kumle, the lex winner is there,
00:05Javagal Srinath, the fast holder, Abhi Kuruvila, the medium placer,
00:07tall and lanky, and Rajesh Chouan, the off-sinner, also included in this lineup.
00:10The Pakistan lineup, Seed Anwar and Shahida, Philly, at the top of the order,
00:13Ejaz Ahmed, Akhtar Sifra, the young left-hander, included in this game,
00:15Manzoor Akhtar, the right-arm lexpin, an all-rounder is also there,
00:17Inzamamul Haq, Moin Khan, the keeper, Vaseem Akram, Azar Mahmood,
00:20Saklan Mushtaq, and Akif Javed.
00:22The toss was won by India, and they elected to bat first.
00:25There's a view from one of the light pylons over the Sahara ground.
00:30That's a fine show.
00:33So the first boundary is shot by Saba Purim,
00:37the tumultuous chairs from the Indian supporters.
00:43They're going to go all the way, fine line, it is too scared to collect it.
00:48Coming off the pad and going to leg buys.
00:52That's a lovely shot, and it's going to go to the 10th, square length to 4.
01:02Beautiful shot, history one, and the crowd to their feet.
01:07Well, it's the first real time that Akif Javed has erred in his line.
01:10The length was okay, but take a look at the line.
01:12That's another lovely shot, 4-round square, and the way 50-70 pounds to their feet.
01:23Beautiful shot by Akif Javed, magnificent timing, 4 all the way.
01:29Already very early in the spell, using this lower delivery.
01:34There's an appeal there for...
01:36I think he'll have to ask for the third empire, because I think he's out, yeah?
01:40As I see it, the first reaction, I think Saba Purim will have to walk back to the pavilion.
01:46It's unfortunate, but I guess he'll have to go.
01:49Steve Buckner was reluctant in asking for the third empire,
01:52but I think in the end it's a good decision that he's asked for it.
01:55Now watch the ball, hitting Wasimakram's hands, and then going on to hit the stumps.
01:59He's definitely out, his bat is in the air, you can't see from this angle.
02:01But I'm sure you'll get to see it clearly from the camera on the top.
02:12Now this will give you a clearer picture.
02:14The ball hits the stumps, he's shot off his ground.
02:18So India have lost their first wicket here.
02:19I think what India would look for is Navjot Sidhu to be there for a little while.
02:40Take his time, because he's a man in good nick.
02:43Fresh from a good series against Sri Lanka.
02:44No ball.
02:55It's a lovely shot, square of the wicket, and that could go for four.
02:58There's a fielder after, he won't cut it off, four runs.
03:02Manzhu Raster couldn't cut it off, so four more to Ganguly.
03:05Well, he's very, very strong square of the wicket, especially on the offside.
03:09South of Ganguly.
03:18Sayed Anwar.
03:20We had very bright sunshine in the morning, but it's not a little cloudy now.
03:27Now watch this, the man at cover is back.
03:29Ganguly is set off for a single.
03:30Now if the ball hit, the stumps there.
03:33And Ganguly trying to jump, he would have been given out.
03:35Down the wicket, what a glorious shot, and it's six.
03:41What a glorious shot, the shot of the day so far.
03:55A direct hit, there's an appeal.
03:57And the third umpire coming in question.
04:01Now the Pakistan fielder's think that was close, but once again the umpire thought that it was okay.
04:07Well, I think he's okay here.
04:09He may have asked for the third umpire, but you'll soon find that Sidhu has made his ground quite comfortably.
04:14A direct hit from Azhar Mahmood.
04:18But I guess not good enough.
04:19It was a great shot, no doubt about it.
04:35That's what the banner says.
04:36And India certainly looking good at the moment.
04:42There he is.
04:43That's his favourite shot.
04:44He's a magnificent striker.
04:45Oh, good ending to the over, 68 for one.
04:56Typical civil stroke.
04:58Using his feet down the pitch, over the top, four ends.
05:02Well, he will never resist a condition of going over the top to an off spinner.
05:05And especially when his bidon is up.
05:07That's how they differentiate the movement.
05:12Oh, fuck it.
05:12Oh, well, that's a real sight.
05:15That's a knockdown.
05:17Sidhu has gone into Steve Buckner and has he hurt himself?
05:22Taking the helmet off.
05:23Quite a crunch there.
05:42And both go down.
05:45Well, two strong men, two big men.
05:47Look at this collision.
05:47Sidhu's eyes were on the ball.
05:48Not on Buckner.
05:49Buckner was trying to take position.
05:50And that is a real, you can call it a footballer, a rugby tackle, that.
06:12That's a kind shot.
06:15What a shot, absolutely.
06:16How do I do?
06:35We'll go right away.
06:36I'm forward to Sidhu.
06:39So if Sidhu did the head start.
06:41Has now passed him, Sidhu is down to 43 and Rudi is 41.
06:49That's going to be a great sharp bounce, into the fan.
07:02Well that is 50, what a splendid way to bring it up.
07:06He displayed that shot awfully well.
07:08That is 50, down to Banger, 50 to Sidhu.
07:18Sidhu won't hang around him, that's right.
07:21He likes to get after spinners.
07:23He's so quick on his feet, he won't allow any spinners to dictate to him.
07:28Even if he gets off occasionally, Sidhu is a man who likes to get after them.
07:32He doesn't mind whether they hit him on the floor or go on the aerial route.
07:38That would be close if it's a drag kick.
07:40There is an appeal.
08:08It is a fan.
08:09He does not.
08:12Good to see you.
08:16Good to see you, Adam.
08:18I'll see you in the next hour.
08:21I shall have a seat.
08:23As you can see, I'll hold on to the first.
08:25You can see you.
08:27Good to see you.
08:29fried in the first half.
08:30I'm going to go, stop, and I'm going to look at it, stop, and I'm going to look at it,
08:59well I can't believe it, first, first time he gets the opportunity to hit anything, he doesn't have a sighter, he doesn't try and play himself in, he's in a great position, he has one ball and he's slugged it straight up in the air, well that's inexplicable, he's got himself in a great position of India, even though they send him in to score quickly,
09:28you really don't have to slug straight away.
09:38It's Inzaman, going across the square leg, one, four, seven, four, three.
09:43Well there's always going to be drama in this match, we're never going to get through the day without the emotions and passion rising, one wicket goes, and three goals.
09:55Well there's always going to be drama in this match, we're never going to get through the day without the emotions and passion rising, one wicket goes, and three goals.
10:10Well another big wicket, we don't see those as big, but you can't get any bigger than this.
10:17Just a simple little chip to mid wicket, and as they say Inzaman won't catch them all, important fish than that.
10:25Then Ilka gone, one forty seven for four.
10:31What a turnaround, one forty three for two, one forty three for three, one forty seven for four.
10:37Collapses on, he's trying to just turn it to leg for one, it's a little single.
10:42He's just spooned it to Inzaman, and there's been a dramatic bounce on his ribs, that's right.
10:47Well, he'll probably like a little rest, because he's not too keen on feeling it, you know, one forty seven for four.
10:55Well with all those wickets going down, and the new batsman Im, I have it as a rooting, we've forgotten that Ganguly's not out at the other end.
11:02He's been backing beautifully, and he's been stood there watching all this happen.
11:06And he'll go on the way, as beautifully can.
11:14Lovely shot from Ganguly, everything was right about it, the placement, the timing, and that'll just relieve some of the pressure from India.
11:21That's some of the pressure from India, but she's...
11:2374.
11:24Oh!
11:36Catch it!
11:37He's got it up in the air, there's a man coming under the lead, but luckily for Ganguly, if it lands in safe territory.
11:42Two more runs.
11:46Oh, that's played very nicely with Adi.
11:48It's a perfectly controlled sweet shot from India.
11:58So, I know there's remaining...
12:00Oh, they are here!
12:06So, in spite of losing those three wickets, that's it pretty quickly, India's still in a reasonably good position here.
12:10Well, I think they are, because they have...
12:13...and they have to go down to...
12:14frock!
12:15...eal Koppangudi, has to close to going lock up.
12:19...and it's a close to going lock up.
12:21...wasimakran is down the job for Pakistan here...
12:22...giving them it to another break-through, and will he dismiss our propanities?
12:25And once again, Vasimakhan coming in, doing the job, swinging the locker, Ghandani missing
12:38it completely.
12:39And that is the joy Vasimakhan has derived out of that scenario.
12:42Finally comes out of Ghandani, goal by Vasimakhan, India at 200 for five.
12:47He's golden.
12:48He's a very intelligent goal at the end of the beginning, again varying his pace,
12:54Jadija focks for that one, and India lose their 6-0.
13:01As we have seen in the past, once again Saclayne, pulling at the depth, not putting anything away
13:07in Jadija trying to hit him over the top, missing it completely, playing follow-up spin which
13:12is not there, the ball going straight, hitting off-stamp, and Jadija out for six, and India
13:172-24 for six.
13:19The backstudy goal is already working overtime, finishing the cut-off of 2-0.
13:26He's going for a big one, and this is a big one.
13:28He's going right out of the ground.
13:30And in from there, using the long handles, look at the effect.
13:33Suddenly the crowd up on their feet.
13:35That's a big six.
13:38That's a big one.
13:39He goes for the big one.
13:40He's got the out-top here.
13:41Passing up on funding.
13:42And then he gets .
13:43So the Indian A's comes to an end.
13:46A few overs gone.
13:47The first second of overs, 239 for seven.
13:50So the target for Pakistan, 240.
13:52Just under five runs for over.
13:54Again, Azaruddin looking ahead across the line with a stop spinner from Saklan.
13:57Getting the leading edge.
13:58It's all going high up in the air.
14:00No problems for the Pakistan captain.
14:04So good hand by Muhammad Azaruddin in the end.
14:0639.
14:07And India, 239 for seven.
14:09India got to 239, thanks mainly to Saurav Ganguly, who got 90 of 128 deliveries.
14:13And Navjot Sidhu, who got 54 from 64 balls.
14:16Pussimakram, the Pakistani captain, picked up one for 34 from his 10 overs.
14:19Two for 55 for the offs winner, Saklan Mushtaq.
14:21So the target for Pakistan, 240 to get at 4.8 runs per over.
14:25One of the best supporters in the game.
14:55He's set up a brilliant ball.
14:57The bowling leg is way better than the bowling.
14:59He struggles to look at the blade as a helping shot.
15:05So he licks them again.
15:09He's finishing the bowling.
15:19That's a good one.
15:21Really well shot with Ayla.
15:25He has been very strong off the legs.
15:27I've seen that in the Freeway Silver.
15:29And he hadn't known the lesson.
15:33Bowling around the wicket now to Saeed Anwar.
15:37But it's a little bit late in the day.
15:39I'll let him get off quite quickly to have some early runs.
15:45He's starting to play well this season.
15:51He's got a lot of support here.
15:57Particularly from the stand to the left.
15:59Let's see what he does to the upspin.
16:01He's got a lot of support here.
16:03Particularly from the stand to the left.
16:05Let's see what he does to the upspin.
16:07He's got a lot of support here.
16:13He's got a lot of support here.
16:15Particularly from the stand to the left.
16:19Let's see what he does to the upspin.
16:21Down the wicket. He's got a shot.
16:23Oh, what a magnificent shot.
16:25And what a huge...
16:27Well, it didn't take him long, did it?
16:29We just mentioned...
16:31That he loves getting off for the upspin as he didn't even wait for...
16:35Oh...
16:36what a brilliant 5-0.
16:38Hell.
16:40A champagneij Bardemonts.
16:42Oh, what a brilliant catch we know, Shahan makes one of the most spectacular matches that I have seen, and this is absolutely superb for the 48-for-1.
16:54Simply sensational, if never there was a classic catch, then this is one. Have a look at Shahan, this is a fantastic reflex effort.
17:07That ball was travelling at the rate of knots, like a tracer bullet. Magnificent one-handed effort by Shahan, brings it in to three of these breezy innings.
17:1619 balls for 19 runs, Pakistan lose their first wicket, 48 runs, two changes in Shardler.
17:20From nowhere, a wicket falls, from nowhere, a couple of wickets falls, and then suddenly you have a match on your hands.
17:27And that's going to be four-arms, a minute that the chains against the ball, slows down the dust, as it drops, loses space, and it's coming back for the...
17:35to the third. Very happy state number.
17:42A man with a deep square leg, because Anwar loves to pick the ball on the onside.
17:46That's going to be four-arms to the fourth, boundary on the upside.
17:54State breaking the shackles, finally getting a boundary after a long time.
17:59We've seen in the first two matches, at least the teams have struggled to get two targets of 240, 250.
18:04That's it!
18:06That's it!
18:08That's it!
18:09That really won't be good.
18:11Cumball drop in the gate, so short, that it really was a long hop, set up there.
18:14No one up in the deep, and easily put away by E-Giles for more.
18:18Now he's going to drop it, and loft it passes.
18:23So when he's short, E-Giles holds him away for four.
18:28And then he up, E-Giles moves those, and loft it to six.
18:34How is it?
18:36He gives him.
18:37That's what's going to come next.
18:39What an overview had.
18:41Anwar Steve Bakker, as usual, giving his time about it.
18:46E-Giles goes right before wicket to Kumball.
18:50So what are we fast by the next winner?
18:53Hit for four, hit for six, and then a wicket.
18:55This is a very good comeback plan, he's getting a clipper, and trapping E-Giles.
18:59Anwar in front of the wicket.
19:01Anwar Bakker taking his time.
19:03This is the picker delivery, the flipper.
19:06It's beaten E-Giles, with the speed at which it's come off the pitch.
19:10So Pakistan have lost their second wicket for 79.
19:12Now Chon comes back.
19:16Intriguing tactics here from the Indians.
19:22I love him singing the field here.
19:24Cora Villa, had five overs to start with.
19:27It was then taken off.
19:28Chon came on, was hoisted for a huge six.
19:32By Shahid Afridi.
19:34And then took a wonderful return catch.
19:36To dismiss Afridi.
19:38At the end of that over, having got rid of Afridi.
19:41Chen Wilkamp took him off, and brought back.
19:43And now he's removed Karabara, who's had six overs for 36.
19:47And he's brought Chawan back.
19:49Well the field restrictions are no longer.
19:57Going down the next side.
19:59In the air.
20:00Well clear of the fielders.
20:02And they're not quite naked.
20:06And they're going to make it.
20:09Amparar Steve Pachmolo, Jester Consult, the television replay Amparar.
20:14to consult
20:44And Pakistan leading 240 to win on 93 for three.
20:52So Mansur Aftar off the mark with a single.
20:53But Ansu, what must be really worrying for Pakistan and their supporters is that still no sign of Inzamam.
20:58Well, yes, I think the news about Inzamam is he has damaged.
21:02Before he started the game, he had a bad leg.
21:04He had a problem with his knee and pain from injection was given to him.
21:06But I think when he...
21:07Whereas they certainly...
21:09Yes, he deserves the applause.
21:21He's got the back very responsibly now.
21:23He started off in blazing fashion.
21:26How's that?
21:29Now see Buckner takes a good hard look.
21:31And I think both the Indian supporters in the crowd tried the session there outside the line.
21:45How's that?
21:45And that's got a bit close.
21:47He's given it.
21:48That's what close to him.
21:49This time he was struck on the line.
21:51And that's what he had.
21:52He got straight into the middle next round.
21:54And he'll come there struck with another flip-off.
21:57Pakistan have lost their fourth wicket.
21:58And this time, unlike the previous humility, the ball hitting, the batsman,
22:05pitching within the line, within the stamps, all that hit him on the front foot.
22:08And this time, Steve Buckner having no hesitation, watched it over.
22:11Pakistan has lost their fourth wicket and 1-2 for 4.
22:14He continues to attack him.
22:19This one's one of the outside.
22:21It's a chase machine.
22:23And a boundary here for Saeed.
22:24That's a welcome boundary for Pakistan.
22:25So he's got a convincing shot that he still managed, but he'll not battle it.
22:30He's got a full run.
22:35And that's going to be four.
22:36To the mid-riff of chance.
22:37First bounce, all the boundary line.
22:39And Aja Man, after a long time, breaks the tackle and makes a beautiful four.
22:45If that is so, then Robin Singh should not be bowling on his left right now.
22:54That's a full bowler.
22:56You've got to sum up your players.
22:57And he's obviously got difficulty with those rigs on his left side.
23:02Weakiest two bowlers on.
23:04Oh, no!
23:04Oh, that's out, is it?
23:06That's out, I thought it was!
23:08Yeah, that's out.
23:09You've got to go.
23:10Sorry, but you've got to go.
23:12I've got to hear it from here.
23:13The moment's pause and hesitation where you thought, is he going to give him?
23:19But Siddle Midgley didn't miss it.
23:22He heard it and the finger of doom went up.
23:25Now that is a big one.
23:28Inzy Man, very dangerous customer.
23:30Trying to late cut it.
23:31Ganguly struck again.
23:32The Prince of Calcutta.
23:34He's had a wonderful year with Batten Bowl.
23:3719 for Inzy Man and 144 for 5.
23:40Three guys to come are pretty good players.
23:43Moim Khan's had a good year with the Bat.
23:45He's a fighter.
23:46He's a gutsy player.
23:47And then there's Wasim Akram, who's a dangerous hitter.
23:50He hasn't had too many runs lately, though.
23:52And as our Mahmood, I would have promoted him.
23:58And that'll be four hands.
24:00Good will I need to stop that ball?
24:01He's got that fine.
24:06No chance for the man to find it.
24:11Sorry, Bangor is really controlling the game, will you?
24:17Oh, he's again played by Klein.
24:19He'll get another couple for it.
24:20And once again, cleverly played by Moim Khan.
24:26He didn't really hit it.
24:27He just gently guided it, knowing that there is a fine leg.
24:31Again, using just one hand, not being able to reach that ball
24:34with both hands to make sure that he got enough bat on the ball
24:37and picked up two rounds.
24:40This is a very good shot.
24:45He's going very sensibly out there.
24:46He's using the sweep shot to good effect.
24:48He's swept in.
24:53He's a particularly good player of the sweep shot, Moim Khan.
24:59He can sweep it from around.
25:02Oxfam just outside.
25:04Very, very good player of the sweep shot.
25:09That's a cheeky shot.
25:11Just banged and helped him out along.
25:12It probably is a good fish face.
25:18Yes, it's going to be a six.
25:20Yes, it is.
25:26And then, that's it.
25:26That's going to be yet another hundred.
25:29For Saeed, that was...
25:29I'm going to be a six.
25:30I'm going to be a six.
25:30I'm going to be a six.
25:31I'm going to be a six.

25:34I'm going to be a six.
25:34I'm going to be a six.
25:35I'm going to be a six.
25:36I'm going to be a six.
25:36I'm going to be a six.
25:37I'm going to be a six.
25:38I'm going to be a six.
25:38I'm going to be a six.
25:39I'm going to be a six.
25:40I'm going to be a six.
25:41I'm going to be a six.
25:42I'm going to be a six.
25:43I'm going to be a six.
25:44I'm going to be a six.
