00:00What can you say about Saurav, is the luck running out or what do you see Ganguly bouncing
00:09back from this slump as we look at Sehwag just using that initial reprieve that he got
00:17as expected to his advantage?
00:18I think Saurav Ganguly has got a difficult one and only he can answer it, how well he's
00:22feeling out there as an individual because that is going to be crucial.
00:25If the captain is not feeling well then the team also may just collapse but Varinder Sehwag
00:32as we're just watching him destroy Pakistan, it was in the end Abdul Razak who got rid
00:37of him but Varinder Sehwag really is the difference in the two teams, we've been saying that in
00:41test matches and now we see it in the one days also.
00:44And Javed got tired legs at the worst possible time for India?
00:48Yes, he started off well, he was in company with Varinder Sehwag and he batted very sensibly
00:53but at one stage when there was more runs required and fewer number of balls, I think
00:58he got tired at that important puncture.
01:00And I think that was responsible for all these wickets that we've seen, Yuvraj Singh felt
01:05the need to up the run rate, so did Mohammed Kaif who came in next just looking to hit
01:10the big shots.
01:11Yes, the pressure then was built on Mohammed Kaif and Yuvraj Singh to go for those big
01:15shots and very difficult for the batsmen who've just arrived at the crease really to go for
01:19those smashing hits.
01:20And in the end good balling from Arshad Khan, he kept it within the stumps, he kept it up
01:25to the batsmen thereby curtailing the backswing of the bat.
01:32Kohni as well looking to hit a big shot, looking to get 6 or 7 runs and over, it just wasn't
01:38happening.
01:39Arshad Khan Rameez, he seems to have a lot of experience of limited overs, maybe not
01:42international but first class certainly.
01:45Well you can straight away feel that he's an experienced campaigner, he doesn't have
01:48a lot of hair on his head so he's been around for donkey years in domestic cricket and this
01:57should give him a lot of confidence.
01:58It's always important for any player or any bowler really to come good at this level which
02:03he did today.
02:04He dropped it in the end, getting run out, it was almost like, get me out, let me go.
02:17Well conditions hot and steamy here and even though this pitch may be fit for a one day
02:21game the fitness of the players surely will be challenged because of the conditions.
02:25Now one good look at it and straight away you can feel it's a very good batting track,
02:29in fact it looks like a highway, no humps, no bumps, I think it'll be great for batting.
02:34Now the question for the captain, what will he do?
02:37Win the toss and bat first, it's as simple as that.
02:40Saurav Ganguly to spin it, tails is the call, it's a head, well Saurav you won the toss
02:50what have you decided?
02:51We'll have a batter of it.
02:53Looks a good track?
02:54Yeah it's a good wicket, it's gonna be hot, might turn a bit later so we'll have a bat.
02:59Valenza Mam you've lost the toss, disappointed?
03:03Yeah I think it's a good batting track and I think it's a good pitch in the 100 overs
03:09I think, but last 50 overs I think his ball is a little bit gripped, it's not on the bat
03:15but hopefully it's a good track.
03:17The morale of the side, very high?
03:19The guys are very confident but I think this test match is a different game and Monday
03:23is a different game, if we win this game then we'll really work hard.
03:27What's your side for today's game, any new players?
03:31Yeah only Hafeez is coming and otherwise same side.
03:35And who are you going to open with?
03:36I'll open with Kamran Akmal and Suleman Butt.
03:40Well have a good one Inzy.
03:42Well that's the news from the centre, Saurav Ganguly has won the toss in this first one
03:46day game and he's decided to bat first.
03:48You can see the Indian team for today's game, there's no Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan comes
03:53back in the side, there's no Anil Kumble.
03:58Pakistan line-up packed with all-rounders, there you see them at the bottom, Abdul Razak,
04:02Shahid Afridi, Mohammed Hafeez, Shoaib Malik slotted at number 3, he can only bat now,
04:07can't bowl.
04:08But there's good all-round strength in this line-up.
04:13India batting first, Miranda Sivab, the man on strike and Sami for Pakistan.
04:18In the air, put down, sharp chance, goes to ground, Mohammed Hafeez the fielder, he's
04:28the new man in the Pakistan team.
04:33There's never a dull moment when this man is on strike, hitting it in the air and that
04:38should have been taken.
04:39Mohammed Hafeez is one of the better fielders in the Pakistan line-up, just scooping the
04:44ball in the air.
04:46And what a costly miss that may just go on to prove for Pakistan.
04:53Tendulkar cuts into the gap and a first boundary.
04:58Off the Indian innings.
05:07That shot brings a lot of joy to this huge crowd here, Rana Naveed, shorter in length
05:12and provided the batsman with that width.
05:16That's in the air, should be taken.
05:18He's misjudged the length.
05:21Yohanna makes no mistake, that ball just bouncing on him.
05:26And Tendulkar getting it high on the bat.
05:28He was looking to break free, Pakistan have struck.
05:32India have lost their first wicket.
05:35Well, well, well, what a breakthrough, it was Sachin Tendulkar who looked raw.
05:40And they all stunned.
05:41They were expecting great things from the little master, not to be.
05:45Carved a lovely boundary through square and then this shot.
05:48He'll not be too happy with this short selection.
05:51Ball not very short, he's just come in.
05:54Playing across the line was always going to be dubious.
05:59In the end, nice easy catch for Yusuf Yohanna and Pakistan are away, they've got the big one.
06:05India 4 for 1.
06:06Sarov Ganguly comes out to the middle.
06:08India have lost the wicket of Tendulkar.
06:11Vastly experienced the captain.
06:12268 matches, just under 10,000 runs in one day of the Nationals.
06:23The ball then.
06:24The leg stump has gone for a walk.
06:27He's walked across the stumps.
06:30Rana Naveed hits timber.
06:33Two wickets and two balls.
06:34The captain departs without tickling the scorers.
06:40This is incredible stuff from Pakistan.
06:43When things are not going your way, this can happen to you.
06:47You find new ways of getting out.
06:50His leg stump uprooted.
06:53Pushing himself across towards the offside and Rana Naveed, what a start for him.
06:59Two wickets of two deliveries.
07:01Two wickets of two deliveries.
07:03Sarov Ganguly gone for naught.
07:05India 4 for 2.
07:12This team in deep trouble at the moment.
07:15It's early on.
07:17Comes out with Rana Naveed on a hat-trick.
07:22Two wickets and two balls.
07:23This is the first one.
07:25Sachin Tendulkar, the ball getting just big on him.
07:28The ball getting just big on him.
07:35Johanna, safe as houses.
07:38As he takes that.
07:47That's a very good start from Rana Naveed.
07:50Four runs conceded in that over.
07:52Two wickets taken.
07:54It's 4 for 2.
07:58Wonderful over from Rana Naveed.
08:00In fact, wonderful start by Pakistan.
08:02Could easily have been 4 for 3.
08:04Had that chance been accepted by Mohammed Hafeez of Varinder Sehwag.
08:08Sarov Ganguly, well, finding a new way of getting out.
08:11Moving across the stumps and leaving his leg stump open for Rana Naveed to hit it.
08:20Yes, and Ramiz, you're right.
08:21If Pakistan had taken a catch of the first ball,
08:25the batsman concerned was Varinder Sehwag.
08:27This is what happened.
08:28Mohammed Hafeez putting this down.
08:31Realistically, India would have been 4 for 3.
08:37That's 4. First runs for Sehwag.
08:41And it's a meaty strike on the onside.
08:44It's 9 for 2.
08:48That's it, put down.
08:52And to add insult to injury,
08:55it goes to the boundary as well.
08:56So, second let off for Varinder Sehwag.
09:00Mohammed Sami, can't believe it.
09:01It was a good delivery, bouncing on the Indian opener.
09:06Second time unlucky.
09:08Guiding the ball away, got big on him and not a great effort from Kamran Akmal.
09:13Second time has not been taken.
09:21There you go.
09:22Two boundaries in the over.
09:24He was beating the first two balls.
09:26He let off the third one.
09:32Beautifully put away.
09:38Shaping away from him and for a moment I thought it was a pretty good delivery.
09:42But how well he carved it away.
09:47That's shifting. It's all happening here at the Nehru Stadium.
09:51Especially with Sehwag on strike.
09:52Rahul Dravid has not walked up to Varinder Sehwag.
09:57So he knows what to expect from his partner.
10:00He can expect anything.
10:02Leading edge, then go to Abdul Razak.
10:09Nicely played. Beautiful shot.
10:12Chase from Abdul Razak.
10:14Baguipar and Arshad Khan, but in vain.
10:1732 for 2 India.
10:22Oh!
10:24But mind you.
10:27Another 4.
10:29But this time a very controlled shot by Sehwag.
10:40And the last over.
10:43Rahul Dravid tried a similar kind of a stroke but he hit that ball straight to the fieldspan.
10:48Which is very wide on the onside.
10:52And the ball.
10:59Billy Bowden says no.
11:02The contention here is for Sami Heathings.
11:05He's hit the pad first.
11:07That's why he had a right for that one.
11:10He was on the stretch.
11:12Rahul Dravid.
11:14And the ball.
11:16And she wrapped him on the pad.
11:18That was a very good shot from Mohamed Sami.
11:22Pakistan operating without a slip.
11:26And that's a boundary.
11:28A costly one.
11:31I was hoping Inzamam really would be attacking at this stage.
11:35A little, not a lot.
11:37You've got to have a slip in placement.
11:39The ball is still doing a little bit.
11:41Very deliberately done.
11:43He saw that there was no slip.
11:45Third man was wide.
11:47Played it late, close to the body.
11:49And really all the time in control of it.
11:50Four good runs.
11:51Now that's pressure on the bowler.
11:53First ball of a fresh over.
11:55And you've gone for four.
11:56100 comes up for India.
11:59Talking about the hit.
12:00Have a look at that crowd.
12:01Nothing on their head.
12:03There's no roof.
12:05They're baking but they're enjoying themselves.
12:08There you see.
12:09He goes for the big one and finds the gap.
12:14Well in the last two overs,
12:15Virender Sehwag was looking to hit the ball over mid-arm.
12:19He didn't succeed.
12:21But this time around,
12:22changed his tactics,
12:23went through the covers
12:24and played it beautifully.
12:27For India,
12:28it's a win for India.
12:30It's a win for India.
12:32It's a win for India.
12:34It's a win for India.
12:36It's a win for India.
12:38Only one run away from the 50.
12:47Yes, he was lucky.
12:48No doubt about it.
12:49But really played well.
12:51Alongside with the vice-captain,
12:52Rahul Dravid.
12:54Who for me,
12:55batted very sensibly
12:56for his four runs.
12:59It was a chanceless innings.
13:01And here,
13:02we know Virender Sehwag
13:03is a sort of a player.
13:04He's going to go after the bowler
13:05and take his chances.
13:06Good placement.
13:08This is a good over for India.
13:12Razab just straying in line
13:14and Dravid,
13:15he's batted beautifully
13:16in this innings.
13:17You mentioned Ahmed Chanceless.
13:19You hardly noticed him around,
13:20but he's on 48.
13:28So, 50 now for Rahul Dravid.
13:33And a very,
13:34very good innings this
13:35because he came in
13:36with his side
13:37in trouble.
13:41But he's handled
13:42the situation
13:43like we know he can.
13:48Sehwag
13:50at his best.
13:52What a shot!
14:00Easy.
14:02Very successful
14:03in one day
14:04of the internationals
14:05for Pakistan.
14:07Well, he's decided
14:08to take him on.
14:09This is where
14:10he's so good,
14:11Sehwag.
14:14He didn't waste
14:15any time
14:16in getting the ball
14:17in that direction.
14:19Gets underneath it.
14:20Gets the elevation.
14:22Gets the placement.
14:30He goes for the big one.
14:31That's
14:32out of the ground.
14:34Sehwag.
14:42That's the beauty
14:43about Barinda Sehwag.
14:45Once he decides
14:46to play a particular
14:47stroke,
14:48the execution
14:49is always brilliant.
14:50Look at that one.
14:51Premeditated.
14:52No doubt about it.
14:54He picked up the length
14:55very early
14:56and then
14:57the execution was superb.
14:59Yes, no half measures.
15:00Second six for him.
15:01And he goes again.
15:02This time
15:03doesn't get the elevation
15:04but finds the boundary
15:05alright.
15:11Barinda Sehwag
15:13I mentioned
15:14was looking to take off.
15:16Beautiful shot
15:17once again.
15:18That'll be four.
15:20And he gets
15:21that boundary
15:22very early in the over.
15:24There's your one
15:25risk for the over.
15:27Let's just watch out
15:28how he plays
15:29the next few balls.
15:31He's got a boundary
15:32of the first ball
15:34and this is not really
15:35a risky shot.
15:36It's a poor delivery
15:37down the leg side.
15:38It's just helped
15:39that ball on its way
15:40for four.
15:41There it is.
15:42He's in the 90s
15:43and this is to be expected.
15:46Another biggie
15:47from Sehwag.
15:49You can talk of nothing
15:50else Sanjay
15:51when Sehwag is at the crease.
15:52Now take a look
15:53at this shot.
15:54There's a deep
15:55mid wicket.
15:56There's a long on.
15:57He hasn't tried
15:58to bisect them
15:59or get a gap.
16:00Wholeheartedly.
16:05A lot of running
16:06that these two have done
16:07and yet Sehwag is trying.
16:08He's coming back
16:09for the second.
16:10That's well run.
16:12It's Rahul Dravid
16:13who's struggling
16:14and they've asked
16:15for the third umpire.
16:16The heat has really
16:17got to him
16:18but a direct hit
16:19may have done it
16:21otherwise he's in
16:22comfortably.
16:26Navid Rana
16:27has come into ball.
16:28Sehwag on 99
16:30and he gets
16:31a 100.
16:32What a stunning
16:33innings this has been.
16:34Virendra Sehwag
16:35100 not out.
16:48He's very happy.
16:50He knows it's
16:51an achievement.
16:52Not necessarily
16:53the bowling attack
16:54or the pitch
16:55but just battling
16:56the conditions here.
16:57It's extremely hot
16:59and this is his
17:00seventh one day
17:01international 100.
17:07Great shot.
17:09This is a very good
17:10shot from Dravid.
17:11One bounce
17:12into the advertising
17:13hoardings.
17:16Beautifully played.
17:18Yes indeed
17:19that was an absolute
17:20treat to watch.
17:21Everything right
17:22about it.
17:23The follow through
17:24of the blade.
17:25The full face
17:26absolute delight.
17:27Kept the bat
17:28straight.
17:29All he needed to do
17:30was make contact
17:31and go over
17:32the infield.
17:35They were very sensible.
17:36They were looking
17:37to score singles.
17:38That's a dead ball.
17:40What's happened there?
17:41Has he strained something?
17:42He's an important
17:43member of this
17:44Pakistan side.
17:45I don't think he's
17:46going to bowl a ball.
17:49You could see it
17:50straight away
17:51when his hand
17:53went straight
17:54to the area
17:55and that had
17:56tickled him.
17:59Boundary.
18:05So blistering
18:06innings from
18:07Virender Sehwag
18:08finally comes to an end.
18:09It was a tired
18:10shot.
18:11It was on the
18:12cards
18:13but he will
18:14get a standing
18:15ovation
18:16as he leaves
18:17this ground.
18:20He had a share
18:21of luck early on
18:22but make no mistake
18:23in between all that
18:24he's played some
18:25magnificent shots
18:26till this happened.
18:28That short break
18:29really turning out
18:30to be
18:31in favour of
18:32Pakistan.
18:33Both the batsmen
18:34they were in the
18:35momentum
18:36and you really see
18:37Virender Sehwag
18:38when he decides
18:39to hit the ball
18:40out of the ground
18:41missing it.
18:42Well he played
18:43a tremendous
18:44knock for India
18:45when they were
18:46in trouble.
18:47So Yuvraj Singh
18:48comes out to the
18:49middle
18:52and gets some
18:53nicely played.
18:54What timing
18:55that was.
18:56Four rounds
18:57to end the over.
18:582-0-8-4-3
19:06Oh lovely
19:07shot.
19:08He's just
19:09picked it up
19:10chipped it
19:11over the infield
19:14He was
19:15struggling
19:16to start with
19:18Shahid Afridi
19:19looked out
19:20of sorts.
19:21First two
19:22dot deliveries
19:23and then
19:24the batsman
19:25had to take
19:26a chance.
19:28Smashed
19:29on the onside
19:30that's hit
19:31with tremendous
19:32power by
19:33Yuvraj Singh
19:35Short delivery
19:36he picked up
19:37the length
19:38quickly.
19:40It wasn't a
19:41great delivery
19:42but as a batsman
19:43you had to
19:44put it in the gap
19:45wrenched it
19:46away for four.

22:19cramp

22:21Naveed Ullasan

22:25a very good
22:26running catch
22:28conditions really
22:29hurting players

23:12just losing
23:13their way here
23:16now this ball
23:17was played
23:18in the direction
23:19of the fielder
23:20I think it was
23:21Mohammad Sami
23:22probably the fittest
23:23athlete
23:24out there
23:25bullseye at this stage
23:26of the game
23:27really credit
23:28must be given
23:29to Sami
23:33Rahul Dravid
23:34gone after
23:35playing a good
23:36knock very good
23:37innings
23:38hundred and four
23:39he got
23:40India two sixty
23:41five for seven
23:43there he goes
23:44goes for the big
23:45shot
23:46only to find
23:47his thumbs rattle
23:48by
23:49a very experienced
23:50Arshad Khan
23:51who knows exactly
23:52what the batsman
23:53is about to do
23:54brilliant match
23:56he was put away
23:57for plenty
23:58in his first
23:59couple of overs
24:00what a good
24:01come back
24:02this has been
24:03from Arshad Khan
24:04now
24:05describe
24:06that shot
24:07I'm unable
24:08to do that
24:09Balaji trying
24:10to whack the ball
24:11square
24:12two sixty nine
24:13for eight
24:14Zaheer Khan
24:15has walked out
24:17ninety one
24:18matches for him
24:19he can play
24:20some big shots
24:24there he goes
24:25Harbhajan Singh
24:26might just find
24:27himself caught
24:28by Salman
24:29but
24:30now he was
24:31going to lose
24:32his balance
24:33what he has done
24:34is just
24:35got the ball
24:36back into play
24:37but the umpires
24:38will just
24:39check that again
24:40he got right
24:41on the ball
24:42almost got it
24:43then realised
24:44that he wasn't
24:45going to be
24:46balancing himself
24:47well to be inside
24:48I think that's
24:49six
24:56more noise
24:57from the
24:58commentary box
24:59next to us
25:00the radio commentators
25:02nicely struck
25:04Harbhajan Singh
25:06is coming back
25:09and India
25:10who runs
25:11two hundredths
25:12from the Indian
25:13batting line-up
25:14Sehwag
25:15108
25:16and Rahul Dravid
25:17104
25:18no other contributions
25:19and here is the
25:20bowling performance
25:21of Pakistan
25:22with the new ball
25:23so did Rana Navidi
25:24picked up two wickets
25:25and then Abdul Razak
25:26operated for just
25:278.3 overs
25:28before he
25:29got all cramped
25:30up in his
25:31legs
25:32Shahid Afridi
25:3310 overs
25:34none for 50
25:35and Arshad Khan
25:36the pick of the bowlers
25:374 for 33
25:38of 6
25:39Pakistan innings
25:40about to commence
25:41the target
25:42282
25:44got 50 overs
25:45to get them
25:47Balaji on his way
25:54Kamran Akmal
25:55is going to be
25:56his partner
26:01first runs
26:02for Pakistan
26:03good solid blow
26:04by Salman Butt
26:05down the ground
26:06first boundary
26:07of the innings
26:08and Pakistan
26:09on their way
26:11and played with
26:12authenticity
26:16Balaji looking
26:17to pitch the ball
26:18up to the batsman
26:19looking for
26:20a bit of swing
26:21in the air
26:22but wasn't the case
26:23turned out to be
26:24a juicy half
26:25volley for
26:26Salman Butt
26:29in the gap
26:30very risky
26:31second boundary
26:32for Salman Butt
26:39that was a better run
26:42hitting the ball
26:43on the up
26:46just opening
26:47the face of the bat
26:48at the last moment
26:49and played it
26:50beautifully
26:54he's not quite timed it
26:55but this is a quick
26:56outfield
26:57the ball will still
26:58reach the boundary
27:01that's all what
27:02Pakistan want
27:03at this stage
27:04keep getting the boundaries
27:05keep putting the pressure
27:06on the bowlers
27:07it's kind of
27:08flat out there
27:09for the Indians
27:13oh that's a
27:15good shot again
27:16just standing up tall
27:17and punching it
27:18through the offside
27:19again a tease for the field
27:20again the ball wins
27:22so the boundaries
27:23coming thick and fast
27:24for the left hander
27:26already four boundaries
27:27for Salman Butt
27:32that is a lovely shot
27:34no need to run
27:35for that
27:36width on offer
27:38placement spot on
27:39from Atmal
27:44no margin
27:46for the error
27:47as far as
27:48the bowlers are concerned
27:50every time
27:51they're going to falter
27:52in their line and length
27:53this is going to happen
27:54to them
27:59it's gone through
28:00that will reach the boundary
28:03Saurav Ganguly
28:04was very close
28:05at short point
28:07and he just gets
28:08his hands to it
28:11and goes into the gap
28:12as well
28:13have a look
28:14at the reaction
28:15of Mohammad Kaif
28:19he was just standing
28:20very relaxed
28:21that Ganguly
28:22is going to stop
28:23that ball very easily
28:24it wasn't the case
28:25the ball was
28:26hit very hard
28:32that's who
28:33that's something
28:35poor fielding
28:36will give
28:37Kamran Atmal
28:38a boundary
28:39it's a good start
28:40by Pakistan
28:41throwing it over
28:42six runs per over
28:43at the moment
28:45that's in the air
28:46again past short point
28:49that went to the boundary
28:50in a flash
28:52Ganguly is the fielder
28:53in the firing line
28:54once again
28:57I don't think
28:58he had time
28:59even to react
29:00the first one
29:01he at least got
29:02a hand to it
29:03that's
29:06I think he's gone
29:07the other way
29:09rather than going
29:10in the direction
29:11of the ball
29:13I think
29:14you need a man there
29:15with very good reflexes
29:19and it's taken
29:21brilliantly done
29:22at point
29:24good reflex catch
29:26and it's Varinder Sehwag
29:28who has picked
29:29a very very sharp catch
29:30so that move
29:31paying off
29:33Ganguly replacing
29:34himself
29:35and putting Varinder Sehwag
29:36and he made it look
29:37extremely easy
29:40just the break
29:41India needed
29:43this is a blinder
29:46and like his batting
29:47his catching also
29:48looks so easy
29:53first wicket down
29:55chance for India
29:56to come back
29:57Pakistan 45-1
29:59Shoaib Malik
30:00is the new batsman in
30:02very handy cricketer
30:05is coming to replace
30:06Kamran Akmal
30:07who hit this one
30:08extremely hard
30:09but what a catch
30:10neat catch
30:12brilliant reflexes
30:14made it look
30:15extremely easy
30:24that's gone
30:25over the top
30:27not an auspicious
30:28start from
30:29Shoaib Malik
30:30but he'll take
30:31that boundary
30:33what a way to get
30:34off the mark
30:35this is modern day cricket
30:36doesn't matter
30:37where it comes
30:38see the belligerence
30:39with Shoaib Malik
30:40he's yet to get
30:41off the mark
30:43attempted
30:44almost audacious
30:45shot there
30:46catch it
30:47is the call
30:48and he's got it
30:49what a wicket
30:50Ashish Nehra
30:51has struck
30:54too late really
30:55to think about
30:56that shot now
30:58it's Saurav Ganguly
30:59who's picked up
31:00a good catch
31:03and India
31:04have been able
31:05to get rid of
31:06a well settled
31:07Salman Butt
31:12justice at last
31:13for Ganguly
31:14the ball was
31:15following him
31:16he wasn't
31:17catching those
31:18but this is a
31:19very good catch
31:21good read
31:22by the skipper
31:23and Ashish Nehra
31:24has struck on
31:25his comeback
31:27second wicket
31:28Pakistan
31:2949 for 2
31:37this was
31:38a critical moment
31:41just a bit of
31:42extra bounce there
31:44Salman Butt
31:45looking to come
31:46inside the line
31:47just push it
31:48strongly behind
31:49the square leg

32:24nature
32:26three wickets down
32:28Pakistan
32:29were on top
32:30of the Indians
32:31and they've lost
32:32three in a rush
32:34and Indians
32:35will make this count
32:3649 for 3
32:37Pakistan
32:41no siesta
32:42in Zaman Malik
32:43he's out there
32:44in a jiffy
32:45he's telling himself
32:46exactly that
32:47don't underestimate
32:48the bowler
32:51he's found the gap
32:52he's flowing
32:54very nicely
32:55in this shot
32:56stint
33:00this is beautifully
33:01timed and placed
33:04finally he gets
33:05the boundary
33:06in Zaman
33:07he was on the drive
33:08three times
33:09it's over
33:10couldn't pierce the field
33:1164 for 3
33:13now Zaheer
33:22is that taken
33:23he goes up
33:24that's a brilliant catch
33:27that is
33:28an absolutely
33:29stunning catch
33:30if ever there was one
33:32Zaheer Khan
33:33reacting on his
33:34follow through
33:36this is quite unbelievable
33:38coming back
33:39in another fresh spell
33:42first ball of that
33:43spell
33:45just take a look at this
33:46and it's to his wrong hand
33:47to his right hand
33:48what a take
33:49amazing
33:50awesome
33:52what a wicket
33:54Pakistan really
33:55pegged back now
33:56they've lost their 4th
33:57for 64
33:58Johanna gone for 0
34:00494 runs
34:01are still
34:02inexperienced
34:03at the highest level
34:08takes the single
34:10what's happened
34:11in the last 10 overs
34:154 wickets
34:1626 runs
34:19just the 4 boundaries
34:23he's got it
34:24in the gap
34:25and that's 4
34:29disdainfully done
34:32touch of arrogance
34:33in that shot
34:37a good shot
34:38what a way
34:39to get off the mark
34:41and again
34:42a pin drop silence
34:4376 for 4
34:50a big bull shot
34:51of a long hop for 4
34:54and it's 80 for 4
34:58looking for a big one
35:03so he understands
35:04the importance of run rate
35:05in Zaman Malak
35:06and that single also
35:07gives Pakistan their 100
35:12he's gone for the big one
35:13he's cleared it
35:14that's a 6
35:18it's come off
35:19Hafeez's back
35:22should provide a little bit
35:23of relief
35:24to Inzamam Malak
35:27also they know
35:28that the 5th bowler
35:29is there for the taking
35:31has he got him
35:33has he got the magic wicket
35:35definitely has
35:37Inzamam is not sure
35:39but I suspect
35:40he's got to walk back
35:42this is a big wicket
35:43for Sachin Tendulkar
35:47quicker one
35:48Inzamam Malak
35:49is still asking the umpires
35:50and I think
35:51they'll confer it
35:52with the 3rd umpire
35:53but I think it's good
35:54it's 4 in Zaman Malak
35:55that ball seems to have
35:56hit the wicket first
35:59Mohammed Hafeez
36:00is asking his
36:02captain to stay put
36:04quicker one from
36:06Sachin Tendulkar
36:08and yes
36:09clipped the top of the bale
36:11that's good enough
36:12for India
36:13that's good enough
36:14for Sachin
36:15and I suspect
36:16Pakistan are now
36:17in
36:18big big trouble
36:19it's 112 for 5
36:20Inzamam
36:21is back for 37
36:24Abdul Razak
36:25is a good striker
36:26of the ball
36:27averages 30
36:32he's gone for the big one
36:33he's connected

36:59he strikes gold
37:01with a useless ball
37:04well he'll take it
37:06but he's wearing it
37:07so much
37:08in flight
37:09he's bowling off spinners
37:10faster ones
37:11but take a look at this
37:12leg spin
37:13outside the leg stump
37:14full toss
37:15and he top edges it

42:14Ranan Abed
42:15missing the ball
42:17Zaid Khan
42:18has been on target

42:24a very fine victory
42:25by India
42:26that's the Pakistan
42:27batting card
42:28flattering to deceive
42:2945 for the first
42:30wicket
42:31they looked good
42:32then
42:33but then
42:34they just fell apart
42:35and no stopping
42:36India after that
42:37194 all out
42:40and it was
42:41Saurav Ganguly
42:42who bowled really well
42:43Balaji
42:442 for 32
42:45provided the initial
42:46breakthrough
42:47Zaid Khan
42:48wonderful
42:49cotton ball
42:50to get rid of
42:51Yusuf Yohanna
42:522 for 25 in the end
42:53and Sachin Tendulkar
42:54fantastic figures
42:55for the
42:56leg spinner
42:57I don't know
42:58whether to describe him
42:59as a leg spinner
43:00or an off spinner
43:01but he was
43:02mighty effective
43:03with both forms
43:04India win by 87
43:05but a 5 wicket
43:06call
43:07for Sachin Tendulkar
43:08so India
43:091 up in the series now
43:12Balaji
43:13started off
43:14well
43:15getting rid of
43:16Kamran Akmal
43:17who was batting well
43:18until he played that shot
43:19good catch by
43:20Varinder Sehwag
43:21very good
43:22reflexes
43:23and then it was
43:24Salman Butt
43:25who was thoroughly
43:26disappointed
43:27to this show
43:28trying to
43:29whip the ball
43:30over the infield
43:31couldn't find
43:32the middle of the bat
43:33good tumbling
43:34catch by
43:35Saurav Ganguly
43:38then it was
43:39Shoaib Malik
43:40beautiful shot
43:41and nothing shot
43:42in the end
43:43with the
43:44fielders
43:45all over
43:46that direction
43:47it was
43:48almost impossible
43:49to find the gap
43:50Yovraj Singh
43:51picking up a
43:52neat catch
43:53and then the
43:54stunner
43:55absolutely brilliant
43:56bottom bowl
43:57by Saeib Khan
43:58absolutely Ramiz
43:59I think the
44:00difference was
44:01that the Indians
44:02held their catches
44:03in some very good ones
44:04Pakistan let off
44:05a few
44:06in the morning
44:07specially the one
44:08Sehwag
44:09by
44:10Sachin Tendulkar
44:11this was a real
44:12big one
44:13the faster one
44:14Indy wanting to
44:15play it very fine
44:16for a boundary
44:17trying to use the
44:18pace
44:19just
44:20opened the
44:21pace of the
44:22bat too early
44:23and then it was
44:24Sachin Tendulkar
44:25all the way
44:26now Raza would
44:27want to forget
44:28this one
44:29this should
44:30have been
44:31put away
44:32but the
44:33pressure was
44:34mounting on them
44:35a full toss
44:36top edging
44:37straight into
44:38Sachin Tendulkar
44:39trying to
44:40accelerate
44:41playing against
44:42the spin
44:43and Sachin Tendulkar
44:44getting his
44:45fourth wicket
44:48it's always
44:49difficult really
44:50to go over the
44:51top in that
44:52direction
44:53good catch by
44:54Saeib Khan
44:55catching has been
44:56good today
44:57from India
44:58caught and
44:59bowled
45:00easy chance
45:01for Sachin
45:02Tendulkar
45:03made it look
45:04extremely easy
45:05in the end
45:06yes it's this
45:07legs spin up
45:08very consistent
45:09with that length
45:10as well
