00:00those two teams for you. Pakistan making the one change with leg spinner Mushtaq Ahmed coming back
00:05into the side and taking over from the young batsman Shadab Kabir. As for India, well, they
00:09were not surprisingly unchanged. We'll pick up play in the fourth over. It's Waka Yunus bowling
00:15to Sachin Tendulkar and the score, three without loss.
00:22Cut away gloriously through point for four.
00:30What a shot. Shot of a length is going away from the bat and he just whacked through point and
00:36covers. Absolutely. Look at that shot. This is shot going away perfectly on it. See the sideways
00:46perfectly timed. Bang it goes. Important thing to note here. He's playing it off the front foot.
00:55There's enough time to see the ball and punch it through the offside.
01:03Tendulkar again on strike. Again, he's been given the whip and the result is the same. He's found the
01:08gap on the offside and again goes into the fence for four. So good over this for India.
01:13Yeah, that's not sensible balling from Waka because he knows that Sachin is absolutely brilliant
01:21off the back foot. Mind you, he was still, look at that shot again. This hammers that and perfectly
01:30placed between cover and point. Much better footwork from Tendulkar today, at least at the start of the
01:36innings. Saw him yesterday being a little cramped in his footwork, but today he seems to be moving
01:41a lot better. Quit to get on to that front foot, but then once he sees anything short, quit to move
01:47that back foot too. Well, Ravi, I think that was bad balling because Vakar is giving him room.
01:53Yesterday he was balling up to him, bringing the ball into him, but today he's balling short and outside.
01:58That's the line we were talking about. Into the right-hander.
02:12Again, punched away through the offside at Tendulkar for yet another boundary.
02:19Again, the short run in Tendulkar. Hammers it through the covers. What a magnificent shot.
02:24Anything loose, he's not going to spare. So the Pakistani bowlers have got to be careful.
02:30Look at that. Forward and back foot, and there it goes. He's got so much time that he goes forward,
02:37then comes back foot, and hammers it through the covers. What a magnificent shot.
02:42That was an action replay of his previous two boundaries in exactly the same area.
02:47And he's already scoring at more than a runner ball.
02:57Oh, that's a beauty.
03:00This is a terrific delivery from Azhar Mahmood. He's bowled from the edge of the crease.
03:06And it's a perfect leg cutter.
03:08That's what Wazi would like to see from him. Look at that ball.
03:13Goodland comes in and moves away off the wicket.
03:16That's what he should do, especially against a class batsman like Sachin.
03:20And that's what Wazi would want from him.
03:26A little bit of wet there.
03:28Azhar Mahmood coming from the Wilson Avenue end.
03:31Chance at mid-on. Wazi Makram has got him.
03:36And what a blow the young man has struck for his team.
03:39A much-needed one.
03:42Yes, I think that ball was up there for driving.
03:44That probably just stopped a little bit.
03:47We saw yesterday that there are one or two bare patches.
03:51And if the ball hits them, it just powders and stops on the batsman.
03:55It's nicely pitched up, right in the slot for driving.
04:06Yeah, I think that just didn't quite come on to him.
04:09And it was an easy catch for the Pakistani captain at mid-on.
04:13Big wicket for Pakistan, that.
04:16India 32 for one.
04:25Well, Dravid is on strike now, coming in at number three.
04:33He was quite impressive yesterday after the slow start.
04:37Played a couple of lovely pull shots.
04:39Post a big score.
04:42Now it's up to the other batsman.
04:45Monge is holed out mid-on.
04:48So was him, Akram, as the ace catcher in the Pakistan side.
04:51Well, not too difficult to catch at mid-on, but he caught it nicely.
04:58What was important that Azzer Mahmood pitched the ball up.
05:03And if you pitch the ball up here, fairly straight, you're going to create problems for the batsman.
05:08Monge tried to slug him over mid-wicket.
05:10I don't think you could describe that in any other way.
05:14Just going to whack it anywhere he could get the bat on it.
05:17And India now 44 for two.
05:21Personally, I think he should be batting a three for India, but that's his spot.
05:30That's the one that he likes.
05:31I guess that is important for the batsman.
05:34He's got to be comfortable in a spot to bat well there.
05:37Just a touch for centre.
05:38He's talking about how India need to post a big total and to do well without getting a contribution from Sachin Tendulkar.
05:46However, this is the man who's got to make a big score for India if they're going to do that.
05:51He's a fine player.
05:53His form has been down a little in the last 12 months.
06:00There were signs in Colombo that he was coming back to his best.
06:04He's got a good opportunity now with Mongear back in the pavilion.
06:07His record or his average is down quite a bit against Pakistan.
06:13I'd like to boost that.
06:24Well, that's beautifully bowled.
06:2644 for two.
06:27It's Waqar Yunus to continue to Mohamed Azaruddin.
06:36Played away nicely on the onside.
06:38Again, such a good timer of the ball when he plays in that area.
06:42No problems here in the ball reaching the fence.
06:45Didn't try and hit it too hard, but leaned into it nicely.
06:49And once it hit the bat, it was four runs for the taking.
06:57Interesting, they left that area open in the previous over when Waqar was bowling to Azar Amir.
07:05Sohail was at mid-wicket.
07:06And Ravi is going there now.
07:09Nice, juicy half volley on his leg stump.
07:12He's not one to miss out on that.
07:13Very strong on the onside.
07:15Oh, that's brilliantly struck.
07:24Four more to Azaruddin.
07:2659 for two after 15 overs.
07:38He's not got enough bat on that.
07:39Fielder under it.
07:40Takes it quite easily.
07:42And Azar falls.
07:4312 shot of 100.
07:44This is the wicket that Pakistan were looking for.
07:47Azar gone for 88.
07:49It is 205 now for three.
07:59Can we see Azar comes down in the wicket?
08:03Very well planned to hit it right over Mid-down for a six,
08:06but he just mistimed it.
08:10And Azar Mahmood took a very good catch.
08:12India, 205 for three in 42 overs.
08:20The North Kamali is a new batsman in.
08:23It's really up to him now to get this momentum going.
08:26He's coming in the fall of Azaruddin's wicket.
08:28There he goes.
08:33Well, I give full credit to Azar for this.
08:36Instead of going for 100, he went to score big runs for his team.
08:40He changed his mind just a bit upwards with that shot.
08:47He's best.
08:48There he is.
08:4910 matches, 181, 25.9.
08:52Best 56.
08:53Not bad at all.
08:55Let's go.
08:55And yet, Mohsin, just a bit of a contrast.
08:58Upwards of 40, which is probably brilliant by one-day standards.
09:01He'd want to do a little better against Pakistan to try and level things up a bit.
09:05But mind you, Asha, he's got only 10 matches he's played against Pakistan.
09:09He's got only staying, and now he's going.
09:23Lovely catch, just what the doctor ordered for Pakistan.
09:26What a marvelous catch, why I must have.
09:28Absolutely brilliant.
09:30I mean, these are the things which Pakistan really need to come back in the game.
09:34Otherwise, like I said, there it is.
09:37Oh, we haven't got a clear vision, but still beautifully taken.
09:44Diving forward and rolling sideways.
09:49214 for four.
09:55Ajay Jadeja, the next pass when he's in, because India have just lost another wicket,
09:59that of Vinod Kambli.
10:02Just a shy away.
10:04Jadeja.
10:04Big stop.
10:05There it is.
10:07Off he goes.
10:08Last time I have a four to come.
10:10And he takes it there.
10:12I think that's a clean catch, yeah.
10:14Very good decision by the umpire, I must say.
10:16And a beautiful catch taken.
10:22In front of the stumps.
10:24If you stand up over the stumps as the bowler.
10:26Oh, that's well bowled, that's the top spinner, he bowles out extremely well.
10:34Well, he did, uh, Raul Dravid in the flight.
10:38Beautifully bowled.
10:39Trying to get down the pitch to him.
10:42And this is a batsman who's played splendidly today.
10:45He's worked the ball around very well as Raul Dravid.
10:47He's beaten in the flight.
10:49A batsman trying to use his feet.
10:58Well, that's a lovely view.
11:00A little bit of skill there from the off spinner.
11:02But a wonderful innings by Raul Dravid.
11:05Ninety, two forty-five for five.
11:11Javagal Srinath has been sent in.
11:14He's a very good hitter of the cricket ball.
11:16And he's the sort of player who can clear the boundary once or twice in these last few deliveries.
11:26He'll be facing the off spinner.
11:31And he's gone.
11:33Bozzy Mac Graham has, uh, has been presented with three catches now.
11:37That's the simplest of them.
11:41Well, Srinath didn't really, uh, have a look at the bowler at all.
11:45He just come in to do, uh, one thing, one purpose only.
11:49Whack it to the boundary.
11:51Big spin ball outside off stump.
11:53Trying to hit with the turn.
11:55Seemed to me as if he got it low down on the bat.
11:57It didn't go that hard to Wasim Akram.
12:00Simple catch.
12:01One ball.
12:02Out for naught.
12:03Two forty-five for six.
12:09Well, this is a terrible time for a front-line batsman to come in.
12:12But that's the job facing Saurav Ganguly.
12:16It's been pushed down the order because, uh, they've promoted some of the hitters.
12:20It didn't work in the case of, uh, Srinath.
12:24Because he holed out from the bowling of Sarklane.
12:29And Sarklane now will be bowling to the left-hander.
12:33He's actually coming over the wicket.
12:35Ganguly's great strength is through the offside.
12:37And he plays spin bowling quite well.
12:46Ganguly off the mark immediately with a well-timed shot.
12:51In Toronto with two good innings.
12:55And India posting a very, very competitive total.
12:58Something around, uh, two-sixty-five, two-seventy.
13:05And it's going to take a lot of getting.
13:17Another leg buy.
13:18Well, you expect all sorts of, uh, shots in the last over.
13:34And a chance here for Syed Anwar.
13:53Plenty of height.
13:55But he's not able to get there.
13:57In fact, I don't think, uh, Syed Anwar picked it up off the bat.
14:00Otherwise, he would have got there easily.
14:02Yes, I agree with that, Ian.
14:04It went up a long way.
14:05There was quite a bit of time.
14:06And I think he's damaged his hand.
14:08I hope it's not serious.
14:10But he's certainly running towards the captain umpire.
14:13This ball went up.
14:13He got under it.
14:15He hit it nicely.
14:16But he got too far under it.
14:18It went up a long way.
14:19Look, it's real steeplejack, is that?
14:22He only had to run about 25 yards.
14:24But he was struggling at the end to get there.
14:26And he must have lost it from the hit.
14:31And in the end, you see, he was never really comfortable.
14:33He was outstretched.
14:34He was low.
14:38And it looks as if it's the end of his finger, which is, uh...
14:42I wouldn't say it's a good thing, but it's not the webbing, I hope,
14:45which will put him out of the game in the next few Sahara Cup games.
14:50Well, that's very well bowled.
14:59He almost delayed that delivery just to see where Ganguly was going.
15:03It was very clever bowling.
15:05Yes, you could sense that the left-hander Ganguly was trying to get to the leg side,
15:09trying to shuffle to leg side.
15:12Watch him there.
15:12He threatens to come.
15:14Then he's staying leg side.
15:15Beautifully bowled by the Houston.
15:17And again, out-thought Ganguly.
15:21That's a clever bowling.
15:22He did well there.
15:28Well, that was a really powerful performance by India's batsmen,
15:31Dravid, 90, and Mohamed Azaruddin, 88, the main contributors,
15:35after Mongia and Tendulkar had got India off to a good start.
15:38And really, all of the Pakistani bowlers suffered, rather.
15:42Wazimakram, 0 for 52.
15:44Waka Yunus only bowled six overs, 0 for 37.
15:48And I suppose the spinners were the ones who put the brakes on most,
15:52with Saklin Mushtak, perhaps, the pick of them.
15:55So Pakistan needed 265 to win the game.
15:58A tall order indeed.
15:59We'll see how they got on right after this break.
16:01Well, we're certainly in for a bright afternoon.
16:08Weather-wise, the sun has come out.
16:11There's still a bit of wind around,
16:12but it was quite amazing yesterday how the outfield firmed up.
16:16And hopefully under a bit of sunshine,
16:18it'll improve even more today.
16:21Saeed Anwar is on strike for Pakistan.
16:23He's not generally tied down for too long.
16:30He would, as I mentioned yesterday,
16:32have to break up there with Jair Saria
16:34as one of the most dangerous openers
16:37in one-day international cricket.
16:41His partner's no slouch.
16:43That's the record of Saeed Anwar.
16:45Eight hundreds.
16:46And that's when he's at his best.
16:54And he gets the ball up there
16:56that brings the batsman forward,
16:58particularly bowling to left-handers
16:59because he's angling towards the slips.
17:06Amir Sahail, the vice-captain of Pakistan.
17:11So Captain Pakistan on a few occasions.
17:13His record, not quite as good as his partner's.
17:28Amir, off the mark.
17:39Well, Ian, look at that fielding by Jadeja.
17:43He definitely saved about a couple of runs there.
17:47Look at that diving, left-hand stop.
17:55And the asking rate was 5.3 at the start of the innings.
18:02Prasad just getting a little bit onto the leg stump.
18:05And that's where Saeed Anwar is extremely strong.
18:08Very risky player.
18:13Yeah, yeah, and they both are very talented players
18:15and they can work the ball around.
18:18There we see.
18:19Office legs perfectly placed between
18:21short, fine leg and deep square leg for a couple.
18:24And if these two can stay out there for about
18:29for a good margin of part, let's say down about 100 runs,
18:33they can really do it in very quick time
18:35and that will bring Pakistan back into the game.
18:37That was a bad delivery and it's been punished.
18:42Six.
18:50Well, as Ian said, bad delivery, short,
18:52pulled straight out of the ground.
18:55I can remember these two batsmen going out
19:00to open in the World Cup against India in Bangalore.
19:03In my word, what a game they play.
19:06We all are the fans of Jai Surya and Kalu Rathirna.
19:09And I tell you what, these two batsmen
19:11showed that they are probably one of the best
19:13opening pairs in the world
19:15as far as test cricket is concerned
19:16or one day cricket is concerned.
19:18I think what basically Pakistan needs here
19:40is to just keep their head cool
19:42because these two players,
19:44they are basically stroke makers.
19:45they can always pick up what do we need in over
19:49in 5.3, which is, I think,
19:53with the batting lineup of Pakistan,
19:55it's very much gettable.
19:57It's not going to be easy,
19:58not going to be easy at all
20:00because Indians will be right on them.
20:02But I think if they bat sensibly
20:04like Azhar and Dravid did,
20:06they can get it.
20:15A good take there by Nayan Mongia
20:25and Amir Sahal doesn't even bother
20:28to look at the umpire.
20:29He just walks.
20:30That's an excellent catch.
20:33What a catch.
20:34Just got the inside edge
20:41down the leg side.
20:42There it is.
20:45Very slight edge.
20:47Not an easy catch.
20:49Full stress diving catch by Mongia.
20:52Absolutely marvelous.
20:54This is the difference
20:55which is going to make.
20:5710 for 1.
20:581.5
20:59Ijaz Ahmed is the number three
21:04batsman for Pakistan.
21:06Played very intelligently yesterday.
21:08And obviously the news has got around
21:10that there's a pretty exciting
21:12contest in prospect.
21:14And that's how Amir Sahal
21:16lost his wicket.
21:21Players of India and Pakistan
21:23enjoying a bit of sun
21:25on their back at the moment.
21:25Start to continue.
21:32That's beautifully timed.
21:39One shot Ian.
21:40Perfectly timed off his pads.
21:43Right on the ground.
21:46There it is.
21:48Roll of the wrist.
21:50Side angle to you.
21:52Roll of the wrist.
21:54Perfectly placed.
21:55No chance for the feeler
21:56to squarely
21:57to stop the ball.
21:58Races to the boundary.
21:59Beautiful shot.
22:07He just played
22:08very intelligently yesterday.
22:11Pakistan now need
22:12to develop a partnership
22:14as India did.
22:18That wasn't so intelligent.
22:19That was a bit wild,
22:20that shot.
22:21That's exactly what Pakistan
22:24doesn't need.
22:25Because Aijaz,
22:28Anwar,
22:29Inzimam,
22:30they're all stroke makers.
22:31They don't need to slot.
22:33They just have to play
22:34according to the merit of the ball.
22:36And like Srinath and Prasad,
22:38they're two good bowlers.
22:39They have to give respect to them
22:41and play according to the need.
22:43Five and over,
22:44reachable.
22:47That's an excellent delivery.
22:48It's going to cost the ball
22:49of four.
22:51That's reminiscent
22:51of some of the leg cutters
22:53that Mahmood produced
22:55earlier in the day.
22:58What a delivery.
23:00Love the arc cutter.
23:02Look at that.
23:03Aijaz was very lucky
23:05to get a thick edge on it.
23:07Otherwise,
23:08it could have been
23:08straight to the first left fielder.
23:12Ravi Shastri now
23:13moving into the commentary position.
23:17Swung away on the onside
23:19by Sahid Anwar.
23:20This will go all the way
23:20to the fence.
23:21Long chase for Vinod Kamli,
23:23but he won't get it.
23:25Short delivery from Srinath
23:26and Anwar quickly into position.
23:28Not quite getting hold of it.
23:30Getting enough bat on it
23:31to help the ball to the fence.
23:33Well, Sahid Anwar
23:34is a great player
23:35off shot,
23:35which is a very good puller
23:39and a very good square cutter.
23:41Look at that.
23:41Perfectly timed.
23:42He just waits for this ball.
23:44Superb shot.
23:46That's what Sahid Anwar
23:48and Anwar should do.
23:49Wait for the loose ball,
23:50hit that to the boundary,
23:52otherwise play save.
23:56Driven this time
23:57on the offside.
23:58You'll have to hurry
23:58for a single.
23:59Got a miss field there
23:59from Tendulka.
24:01We'll give the batsman
24:01the second run.
24:02That's very unlike Tendulka,
24:07but it always happens
24:09when it can happen
24:10to anybody.
24:11Mr. Jeffrey Boycott
24:13is here.
24:26Srinath to continue.
24:28Again to the left-handed Anwar.
24:34And again,
24:35the full shot.
24:36He's timed this
24:37magnificently.
24:38Way over square leg
24:39and out of the ground
24:40for six.
24:41Terrific shot
24:42this from Anwar.
24:49Well, you're going
24:50to be crazy
24:50to be bouncing
24:52the batsman
24:53on this pitch.
24:54It's so slow.
24:55It sits up
24:55and begs to be whacked
24:57and he's bowling
24:58this Srinath
24:59to one of the
25:00great players
25:01in the world
25:01who's in top form.
25:06Really was a glorious shot
25:07and it's gone
25:08a long way
25:09over square leg.
25:19So what's Srinath
25:20going to do now?
25:21This is already
25:21an expensive over.
25:22loud shout
25:26for leg before
25:26but may have just
25:27pitched outside
25:28leg stump.
25:29Have to wait
25:29for the in-bye signal.
25:31It's a leg
25:31by signal there.
25:37Well, it's hard
25:37to get an LBW
25:39bowling over
25:40the weeds
25:41and left-handers
25:42unless you pitch on
25:43and bring the ball
25:44back into them.
25:45This one
25:45pitching around
25:47leg stump
25:47very difficult
25:49to say
25:50that that pitch
25:50on in fact
25:51it looks as if
25:52he's pitched
25:52just outside
25:53but most umpires
25:54will give any benefit
25:55of the doubt
25:56to the batsman.
25:57Right arm over
25:58to the left-hander.
26:03Cut away by Ijaz
26:05for a single
26:05so this is a good
26:06over for Pakistan.
26:09They obviously
26:09have decided
26:10that when the ball
26:11is new and hard
26:11and it's coming
26:12onto the bat
26:13they're going to try
26:13and score
26:15as many runs
26:15as possible.
26:16That's another look
26:17at that six
26:18from Anwar.
26:18Terrific shot.
26:19It really was
26:21a glorious piece
26:22of timing.
26:26Still a lot of
26:27cricket left
26:27in this game
26:28and you have
26:29got a big score
26:30Pakistan have a
26:32very strong
26:32batting line-up.
26:37Edged and again
26:38brilliantly taken
26:39by Nayan Mongia.
26:42Much better line
26:43from Venkatesh
26:44finding the outside
26:45edge
26:45and Pakistan
26:46lose the second
26:47wicket.
26:49Well that ball
26:50was an absolute
26:51beauty.
26:51It was right
26:52in the corridor
26:52which I think
26:54all batsmen
26:54have difficulty
26:55with.
26:55Off the middle
26:56to about
26:57four inches
26:57outside
26:58on a fairly
26:59goodish length.
27:00You've got to
27:00play at them
27:01and if the ball
27:02moves at all
27:03as this one
27:03just did a touch,
27:04just held its line.
27:06There, a little edge
27:07and a nice
27:08diving catch.
27:09Well caught
27:09by the keeper.
27:10Low to his right.
27:11He wouldn't have
27:12carried the first
27:13slip.
27:14That's a big blow
27:15again for Pakistan.
27:1644 for two.
27:21Of course,
27:22Pakistan have
27:23lost one wicket
27:24too many
27:24at this stage.
27:25Inzamamulhaq
27:26comes out
27:26to the middle.
27:27Big responsibility
27:28on his broad
27:29shoulders.
27:33The reason
27:33why he's here
27:34is because
27:35of this.
27:36Watch where
27:37the wiki
27:37keeper
27:37in Ayam Mongia
27:38caught.
27:39It's very low
27:40in front of
27:41slip.
27:43That's all
27:44bad.
27:48Srinath
27:49to continue
27:49and driven
27:50by and were
27:51beautifully
27:52through the
27:52covers for
27:53four.
27:53In fact,
27:54played it so
27:55late,
27:56square drove
27:56that.
27:58Yet another
27:58boundary
27:58does look
27:59in magnificent
28:00touch.
28:00well,
28:05while we're
28:06enjoying that
28:06cover drive
28:07for side
28:07and,
28:08well,
28:08let's just
28:08have a look
28:08at the
28:09wicket again.
28:09Lovely line
28:10and length
28:10and it just
28:11carries to the
28:12keeper.
28:12That wouldn't
28:13have carried
28:13to first slip.
28:14Would have
28:15been at least
28:15two yards
28:16short of him.
28:17Now,
28:18it was interesting
28:18after the wicket
28:19keeper caught
28:20that and all
28:21the players
28:22joined in the
28:22celebrations.
28:24Sachin Tendulke
28:25with a smart
28:25cricket brain
28:26went and told
28:28both slips
28:28to come forward
28:29at least a
28:30yard.
28:30and shows
28:32that he's still
28:33thinking about
28:34the next
28:34batsman
28:35or the next
28:35wicket to
28:36come.
28:43Looking to
28:43drive again,
28:44just leaving
28:44him late.
28:46Well,
28:47there's even
28:47a nod of
28:48approval from
28:49the batsman.
28:50We're talking
28:50about pitching
28:51the ball up.
28:53It's up there.
28:54Anwar thinks
28:55it's in the
28:55slot to hit.
28:57It's much
28:58harder if you
28:59pitch it up.
29:00Great delivery
29:02this from
29:03Srinath
29:03ball from
29:04the edge
29:04of the
29:04crease
29:04and just
29:07leaving the
29:07batsman
29:08late.
29:11Jadeja
29:12bowling to
29:12a predominantly
29:13offside
29:13field.
29:15He's got
29:16a man
29:16in it's
29:16slip and
29:17four on
29:18the wing
29:19of the
29:19offside.
29:21And
29:21Syed Anwar
29:21has found
29:22the gap.
29:23Beautifully
29:23trying through
29:24the covers.
29:25Just
29:25leant into
29:25it.
29:26Didn't try
29:26and hit it
29:26too hard.
29:27Four runs
29:28the moment
29:28it left
29:29the bat.
29:30A lot
29:33of people

29:50Well

30:51Well
30:52he's
30:52a
30:52terrific
30:52player

30:55well
30:55today
30:56I

30:57better
30:57he
30:58seems
30:58to

30:58range
30:59of
30:59shot
30:59not
31:00too
31:00many
31:01people
31:01in
31:01the
31:01world
31:02have
31:02certainly
31:03Pakistan
31:03's
31:04answer
31:04to
31:04Jaya
31:05Saria
31:05of
31:05Sri
31:06Lanka
31:11shot and
31:15pulled away
31:15over square leg
31:18for yet another six
31:19really did pick up that short ball quickly
31:2212 overs gone
31:23Pakistan 77 for two
31:25I
31:27think Pakistan needed that little single to be taken because India seem quite content
31:40to have Inzamam on the strike only two runs that come from the earlier two overs
31:44yeah there it is well Inzamam like I said just walked in and the ball definitely
31:49is swinging a little bit
31:50Jadeja being not one of the likely bowlers for the batsman because he's slow in pace and
31:56sometimes even he doesn't know what he's bowling so which is very deceptive for the batsman and on the other
32:02hand Joshi is there so for Inzamam for a right-hander it's a bit difficult to start with he should just
32:07just try to stay on settle down and play play a secondary role to say
32:12then we're at the moment
32:18we're looking for two here
32:24to be satisfied with one Inzamam mildly ponderous between the wickets
32:31it's always a bit tense when you're running a second with them Inzamam
32:35you're right Arsha he's not one of the most popular runners in the Pakistan team
32:42but I'll tell you once Inzamam gets going tends to make up for all the singles that he might have let go
32:50no one there to cut it off
33:00Jadeja knows it's something you should have done
33:02well yeah I mean this kind of ball which is the bowler was very unlucky because he tickled it very
33:08there it is very slight tickle and very fine it goes to the boundary line which are very very useful runs and it will give Inzamam a lot of confidence if he gets a few
33:18more boundaries like this
33:22good with a shot that was asking to be hit
33:24Inzamam said I've held myself back for too long
33:26and he's hit it into the stands
33:28what a great shot Arsha
33:30Inzamam
33:32just said to himself look pal you have put enough pressure there it is dancing down the wicket
33:38middling it perfectly over mid-off right into the stands
33:42right into the stands for a six
33:46and
33:48just a single air but this is a this is a fascinating contest isn't it the nook is telling Inzamam look I don't think you're up to it
33:56and Inzamam is saying I don't like those two clothes and feelers around fantastic tactical battle this
34:02oh
34:04oh
34:06that's not in Toronto anymore
34:12goodness gracious me
34:14that was some shock
34:16down again
34:18off you go
34:20off you go all the way
34:22over this green my word
34:24I hope it didn't get stuck in the tree there
34:28I'll tell you
34:30where that one was going that tree was in some danger
34:32this
34:34has to be one of the most amazing blows you will ever see
34:36what a shot
34:38what are the best shots of the match
34:40oh it's it's gone in the garden
34:42oh my god
34:44and 25 places a while behind it
34:46but anyway they've got it now
34:48wonder if you know Kamli was offered a cup of tea as he dropped by there is a lovely little lawn there
34:52few more blows like that from Inzamam we can have a second-hand balls counter set up over there
35:00interesting we're at the Sky Dome yesterday and hits like those
35:04they go into the crowd you're allowed to keep the ball
35:12yeah
35:14big shot
35:16I knew Kumble thought there was something there
35:18so did the close infielder Lloyd Barker didn't
35:20well that is more of an excitement from the Indians than it was anything close to it
35:24it was just off the pad
35:26Kumble appeal for the league before first
35:28then they went for the back pad
35:30which is fair enough
35:32well that
35:34hmm
35:36debatable
35:38leading edge
35:44he does get that ball to turn occasionally
35:46well what I like about Sachin's policy is that
35:50he's here a very decent target of 263
35:54instead of defending he's attacking
35:56and he knows that if he gets a couple of quick wickets
35:58he's gonna go through this game
36:00oops
36:04oops
36:06dropped
36:08there could be a run out over here
36:10but Inzamam gets back
36:12so just about everything happened
36:14in that one ball
36:16I was within the man there
36:18at slip that ball is flying off the outside edge
36:22oh
36:26oh he gets an edge
36:28twice
36:30not too long
36:32not too long
36:34come on
36:36Azhar drops it
36:38and to rub it in
36:40Seidama then goes across to the other and then smashes in for four
36:42exactly right
36:44that's so unlucky for Joshi that he gets dropped
36:46in Zaman through Azhar
36:48and then they expose
36:50Seidama comes dancing down the wicket
36:52and he knocks him over his head for a boundary
36:54look at that
36:56perfectly timed middle shot
36:58right out of the meat of the back
37:04oops
37:06I saw Tusa I heard Tusa and Inzamam walks
37:08Lloyd Barker didn't need to be called into action
37:10he's caught there at silly point
37:12rub it the catcher
37:14and this is the wicket India desperately wanted
37:16Inzamam is gone
37:18it's 115 for 3
37:20so Kumlay has struck
37:22Ringer
37:24there it is
37:28Inzamam goes forward
37:30inside edge onto the pad
37:32and straight a very well taken
37:34beautifully taken catch
37:36by is it
37:38very good catch
37:40like I said
37:42this field of Sachin
37:44it paid him
37:46so Pakistan lose their third wicket
37:489
37:50it's 115 for 3
37:52Salim Malik
37:54is the new man in
37:56and he's in because
37:58Rahul Dravi took a wonderful catch
38:00to dismiss
38:02in Zaman
38:04138 for 3
38:06Pakistan
38:10at the end of that over
38:12as compared to 116
38:14to what the Indians were at that stage
38:16as Srinath continues to Malik
38:18other way on the offside
38:20back for the point
38:22big chase there for Kamli
38:24big attempt there from him
38:26in vain as the ball crosses over the fence
38:28still pretty damp there in the outfield
38:34I guess
38:36also that gives the fieldsman a bit of a problem when he's diving
38:40because it is so damp
38:42never quite sure
38:44where to start your dive
38:46on that occasion
38:48the note Kamli
38:50had absolutely no chance
38:51the ball bounced
38:52over his hand
38:56Jendulkar continues
38:58and he'll be bowling
39:00to the left-handed onward
39:02that's it
39:09and that's pulled away
39:10straight to the man at square leg
39:12and the Indian captain has got the breakthrough
39:14India wanted
39:16just what Pakistan didn't want at this stage
39:18but it lost the wicket for Saeed Anwar
39:22yes he hit it extremely well
39:24but he hit it near
39:26a man who's exceptionally good
39:28in the outfield
39:30both catching
39:32and on the ground
39:34and that was well taken
39:36he picked it up off the bat immediately
39:38and he was in quickly
39:40now it looks a fairly simple catch there
39:42but he made it into a simple catch
39:44by
39:46his judgement
39:48it's 144 for 4
39:56the new man out there in the middle
39:58the Indians picking up that wicket chest
40:00in the nick of time
40:02Saeed Anwar was looking dangerous
40:12Saeed Anwar getting a shortest delivery
40:14which he timed extremely well
40:16the problem he had was he hit it straight
40:18to the man in the deep
40:20and that's the man in the middle
40:22and that's the man who made no mistake
40:24square driven
40:26and he'll get his first runs here
40:28could go all the way to the fence
40:30a long chase for the Sunil Joshi
40:32a third man
40:34and the ball just crossing over the line
40:36tried to put his foot out there
40:38the ball going over it
40:40and Nguyen Khan gets his first boundary
40:42the boundary boards are coming up quickly
40:44and
40:46you start to think about your safety
40:48as well as trying to stop the ball
40:50and you probably just take your eye off the ball
40:52a fraction
40:54wanting to not run into the boundary boards
40:56the ball is snuck past the boot
40:58it's wonderfully played by
41:04Salih Malik
41:05pick up two here
41:06just got the feeling that
41:08Dendut was going to hold
41:10a new Kumbleback a little longer
41:12he probably just senses another wicket here
41:14trying to squeeze a couple of overs more out of him here
41:18150 comes up for Pakistan
41:22although
41:24we need 115 to win
41:26123 ball that's okay
41:28wickets
41:30oh dear oh dear
41:32that nearly was a wicket
41:34that kept low on Salih Malik
41:36couldn't do much about that
41:38just fortunate it wasn't straight
41:42I don't think you could say
41:44that it was skill from the ball
41:46it just died on the batsman
41:48going between the week keepers legs
41:50hardly bouncing 12 inches
41:58I know Kumbleback's expression saying it all there
42:00I
42:04almost played on again
42:06no justice
42:08Kumbleback to believe
42:10well he's trying to play
42:12against the top spinner running in
42:14he's trying to open the face and run it
42:16keeping his hands quite relaxed
42:18but the ball's bouncing back once your hands are relaxed
42:20so I don't think
42:22I don't think a hundred to get
42:24he's as important psychologically
42:26he's getting past that 200 mark
42:28you feel then you're on the downward
42:30side of this
42:32the mountain you know
42:34getting 265 is a hell of a lot of runs
42:36you get over 200
42:38then you can start to count down
42:40to the target
42:42still got quite a bit of work to do
42:44of Pakistan
42:46still got two catches
42:48in the air
42:50he's gonna be caught
42:52Moengan waited for the signal
42:54umpire Orchard says you're out
42:56and that's a wicket Pakistan didn't want to lose
42:58Sunil Joshi picks up a wicket
43:00with his first ball of the new spell
43:04well the change of bowling did the trick
43:06I don't think you'll convince Moengan
43:08he seemed to indicate
43:10that he came off his arm
43:12but he seemed to be
43:14the only one
43:16I reckon that ran up the glove
43:18right up the arm
43:20see here on the spin vision very carefully
43:22watch it
43:24yeah I reckon that ran up the glove
43:28yeah might have been a top edge
43:30and the glove and up it went
43:32but I don't think there's any doubt
43:34he was out for 14
43:3639 for 5
43:40well Vasi Makram is the new man
43:42in the last really of the
43:44recognized batsman
43:46Pakistan a big job on the hands here because
43:48they've lost the wicket of Moengan
43:50and that's how it happened
43:52watch it very carefully from this closer
43:54we get down to sweep
43:56look so we slide right down
43:58and if it's just
44:00gonna
44:02run up the edge of the back
44:04glove you can see it bounce off the glove
44:06quite clearly there
44:08over the top
44:10and a very simple catch by as a Rudy
44:12interesting to see how Pakistan played from here
44:14they really cannot afford to lose another wicket
44:16but they cannot afford to let that asking rate go up either
44:18but they cannot afford to let that asking rate go up either
44:22average 14.9
44:24oh
44:26he decided what he's going to do
44:28you can't keep Vasi Makram quiet
44:30that's it
44:32wasn't that a magnificent shot
44:34really I mean that was an orthodox cricket shot
44:36I've seen him play all sorts of slugs and hits
44:40cross-back shot but that's as good a cricket shot
44:42as any top-class basketball
44:44lovely use of the feet
44:46down the pitch
44:47just hit it straight
44:48didn't try to hit it too hard
44:49and it still went for six
44:54job done
44:55and I'll play the orthodox offensive shot
44:58I was just about to say that
45:00they might as well think positively
45:02because there's nothing for draws
45:04you know you've just got to win
45:12how often do we see this
45:18we see my friend is coming in and
45:20smashing and rolling around
45:31required run rate 5.51 at this stage
45:36importantly leave it there
45:3889 from 97 balls
45:40now that equation is going to look even better
45:50that is a top shot from Salim Malik
45:5411 from the over
45:56building a wicket it's 180 for 5
46:06Wasi Makram
46:08has already hit one six before him
46:10Saeed Anwar hit three sixes
46:12one of them bouncing
46:14just short of the club window
46:16you see there the little red mark
46:18on the white wall
46:20just
46:24just there
46:26little red mark
46:28little red mark
46:29I don't think the gentleman
46:30was sitting there when the ball
46:31went past
46:38and an edge
46:39umpire Orchard says no
46:40there's a huge appeal from all of the Indians
46:44let's have a look at this
46:50let's have a look at this
46:54yeah
46:56look out there was no sound there
47:06oh but
47:08I think we should try and look at that incident once again
47:20there is a sound
47:22but
47:34like I said yesterday
47:36uh such and survived a very
47:38plumb lbw appeal
47:40so did was it
47:42that's a good shot
47:46beautifully played
47:48that brings up the 200 for Pakistan
47:54trouble if he hits
48:04but he doesn't pick the ball up
48:06and Prasad is annoyed
48:082.05 for five
48:10the standard of the fielding hasn't been as good today from India
48:23they were absolutely brilliant
48:25in the field yesterday
48:27athletic and sure-handed
48:29but today there's been a few fumbles
48:32that ball swung quite late
48:42interesting to see what he gives here
48:45four wide so it's an extra delivery
48:48that's handy for Pakistan
48:51you're right here in the end
48:54Indians feeling is not up to the mark as it was yesterday
48:57the feeling in patches they start one good ball
48:59then the next one is a fumble
49:01and this one wide down the lakeside
49:03there is
49:04and the keeper is not able to hold it
49:07and Pakistan get four bonus runs
49:10with one extra ball
49:12chance of third man
49:15and so Tendorka's move has paid off
49:21yes you're right Ian
49:23he keeps on changing his bowlers
49:25his field placements
49:26he's all the time attacking the Pakistani batsmen
49:29and he's just lucky and
49:31he's trying to play it
49:32year
49:34and there's a deep third man wider
49:36and there he takes a drawing
49:37there he takes a drawing
49:40very comfortable catch
49:42well
49:45well played innings but
49:46then Pakistan two 13 for six
49:48Do 13 for six.
49:53Azam Mahmood, who bowled pretty well in the Indian innings,
49:58is regarded by the Pakistanis as something of an all-rounder.
50:02That theory is going to be tested out now.
50:09That's well played.
50:10Pushed it into the gap.
50:12Well, they're asking for the replay.
50:15India think that they've got him.
50:18Oh, what a lovely piece of fielding.
50:23Straight hit to the stunts, and the Indian seems that they've got him,
50:26but I have doubts for that.
50:30But we have to see the replay to exactly find out.
50:33It was a lovely piece of fielding.
50:37This is Jadeja, the danger man.
50:44It's going to be tight, very tight.
50:45I think he's gone.
50:49He's gone.
50:56Yes, I think the red light is going to be on very soon.
50:58There it is.
50:59That was absolutely marvelous fielding by Jadeja,
51:03and that puts the pressure again on the Pakistanis.
51:08Well, suddenly, Malik and Wasim started creaming it,
51:16and then Wasim got out, and then this run out.
51:18Yes, he's out.
51:22He miles, at least six inches out.
51:262.15 for seven, Pakistanis.
51:30And on strike will be the new batsman,
51:33Mushtaq Narmid.
51:34That could well be a wide.
51:39Salim Malik is appealing for a wide.
51:42Orchard checks with Lloyd Barker at square leg.
51:47Lloyd says no.
51:48Well, that's a bit funny, Ian.
51:52It was clearly a wide.
51:55But anyway, then again,
51:56the umpires are out there.
51:58They see over his shoulder.
52:02Definitely a wide.
52:03Or a no ball.
52:10I'm not sure he'll get away with two.
52:12No, he won't.
52:13I don't know what Srinath is trying to do.
52:21Instead of pitching it up to the bat,
52:23I think he can try and get him out,
52:25because there's a tail end there.
52:26On top of that, he's just come in.
52:28And he's digging in short to him.
52:36And gone.
52:36Straight back to the bowler.
52:39So Mushtaq has perished.
52:41And in the process,
52:42Salim Malik is being frustrated.
52:47Well, Rousey and Mushtaq just pushed it back to the bowler.
52:52A gentle cotton ball.
52:54Srinath is pretty good in catching those.
52:59Oh.
53:00Oh.
53:01I think he could have just blocked that ball
53:03and tried to take a single.
53:06There he pushes it.
53:07Straight back to Srinath.
53:08Srinath looking at the ball right from the word go.
53:11Taking it nice, making it nice and easy.
53:1522, 221 for it.
53:17Srinath looking at the hand.
53:18Slain Mushtaq comes to the crease.
53:25I think that Salim Malik would have said to him now,
53:27your job is to make sure
53:29that I get as much strike as possible.
53:31a lot of swinging and missing dissipate that ball very carefully first ball he's
53:42in is trying to drive that ball he could have been easily caught behind
53:45swings it away square the wicket on the offside and finds the gap a welcome boundary that for
53:53Pakistan the lovely wristy shot only expected that to be hit through the covers we're hitting
54:03it late turning the wrist at the moment of impact gonna take a tremendous effort if Pakistan are
54:12gonna get there can't afford any mistakes certainly not from this man we bear right
54:23till the end slower delivery flicked away on the onside for a single to bring up selling
54:32Malik's 50 it's been a fine innings from him played with a lot of common sense Pakistan
54:39need him to stay till the very end if they are to get past this Indian score
54:43cutting it away I just could go all the way to the fence and it does beating the man there
54:56when Ganesh Prasad was a deep extra cover well I did tell you he's been in these precious situations
55:03before he out for an outmaneuvered Joshi Joshi should have followed him fix it up more they bought a normal
55:13lens with selling Malik backing away he could crash it through square point square on the leg side if he's
55:32he's gonna sweep it it'll go square like that he's gone behind now sometimes he paddles it steady like that sometimes he
55:42hits it hard when he hits it hard it'll go square that's why it's so important that you bowl full because that
55:48won't allow him to hit it too hard you have to paddle it it's exactly what Joshi did on that last occasion
55:54because if he bowls the length behind didn't he Ravi and he's gonna get it square this is a man out here
56:02don't want to get him too far at mid wicket I don't think that's right if he does pull the length to
56:08Malik that's where the ball will go that man square at deep mid wicket now he's got certainly must
56:14starting strike so what did the young man do needed a fly ball it's four needed a four balls now the
56:24tension mounting everyone feeling the pressure this is where you want 15 field isn't it when you're
56:34bowling he's played away on the offside for a single and give Malik the strike this is a typical India
56:44Pakistan game right down to the wire three runs required of three balls make sure you get to that's
56:56what I would be thinking we got a tie out of it then I'll play for the win don't get out before I get
57:02two runs I'll be saying I was selling Molly really wait for the end will you do something with this
57:08delivery that's well bowled by Joshi Malik had given himself room he's asking for the white good
57:15decision by Empire David Orchard she went a long way down like side didn't he just go a little bit to
57:25give yourself room we went too far and then he really couldn't reach the ball when it spun three runs
57:31he's required two balls to go it's that pressure or what again giving him to room and again hit in
57:39the air and he's found the gap this could finish the match let's go in the gap before Sonny Malik has
57:44done it for Pakistan he's done it on numerous occasions and this just is another one and what a
57:53terrific game of cricket that was Pakistan winning by two wickets with a ball to spare to level the series
57:58at one match all for India Anil Kumble was his usual miserly self and in fact Kumble's figures there
58:05were the most economical of the match incidentally Sally Malik 70 not out won him the man of the match
58:12award so one all with three to play and you can see
