debuting for India
0.2 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, short, on the legs, bouncing
harmlessly. ducks well underneath
0.3 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, outside the off, Ramesh just
clueless at this
pitched on the line of off, and moved away straightening, just
beating the outside edge
0.4 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, short, outside the off, ducks well,
as the ball flies into Moin Khan's gloves
0.5 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, down the lergs, ball flicks the pads
onto Moin's gloves. Moin jumps up with a n appeal. no damage
Ramesh wouldn't have faced anything like this bowling before
0.6 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, three runs, on the legs, pushes gently
through midwicket. First test runs for him as the crowd erupts in

Waqar bowling from over the wicket to the left hander giving him

to cover fence
as ganguly would have done

2.1 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, sharp rising bouncer, but harmless
as it goes over the heads of Laxman
2.2 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, on the stumps, pushes forward.
Laxman calls for a run as if it is an ODI
Dravid padded up
2.3 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, another big bouncer as Laxman sits
down - a bit unsteadily
that was actually an excellent bouncer
2.4 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, on the stumps, Laxman comes forward
to defend. somehow Laxman doesn't look all that compact
2.5 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, outside the off, through to keeper
shadows extending into the ground
a forward short leg brought in
2.6 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, short pitched. but rather poor

3.2 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, on the off, played defensively to
gully
3.3 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, outside the off, left alone by
Laxman
Ramesh has so far been impressive for a debutant. unruffled
3.4 Waqar Younis to Laxman, FOUR, on the legs, overpitched. That is
meat & drink for Hyderabadi batsmen. Laxman dispatches it to
midwicket
3.5 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, outside the off, defends but
somehow it doesn't look good. There was quite a bit of light
between the bat & the pads
Laxman needs to tighten his defence
3.6 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, outside the off, again defended but
the same problem as the previous ball

4.1 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, one run, pushed to covers. quick cheeky run
as the throw was also not collected cleanly
4.2 Wasim Akram to Laxman, no run, outside the off, angling away. left
alone
Both Akram and Waqar bowling from over the wicket
though Waqar could think of bowling from round the wicketto Ramesh
4.3 Wasim Akram to Laxman, one run, pushed to silly point and a quick
run!
4.4 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, FOUR, outside the off, lovely placing
between the 3rd slip and the gully. brilliant shot!
it was too full, too much width and ramesh played a classy shot
4.5 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, stands up and sweetly defends to
gully. you would fall in love with his batting if you have seen
Sidhu, jadeja and others open
4.6 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, FOUR, on the legs, flicked beautifully to
deep square leg fence

5.1 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, on the middle and legs, plays
straight to midon, and the shot still is not compact. a feeling of
discomfort when you watch the shot
5.2 Waqar Younis to Laxman, FOUR, pitched up on the legs. Now it looks
really good as Laxman flicks the shot superbly (like Azhar) to
midwicket
5.3 Waqar Younis to Laxman, FOUR, on the legs, glanced superbly, as
runs flow like anything
just past the wicket keeper
5.4 Waqar Younis to Laxman, no run, outside the off, left alone

apologies. last ball, there was no run

lovely stance and flow of the bat
6.3 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, outside the off, stylish shot, but
straight to the point fielder this time
6.4 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, outside the off. Ramesh is sure of
his off stump, as he lets the ball go, shouldering arms
third slip has gone to square leg
6.5 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, slow full toss, almost foxed Ramesh
there, as he plays it a bit early to midon
6.6 Wasim Akram to Ramesh, no run, outside the off, left alone

last over of the day coming up
Saqlain Mushtaq to bowl the last over of the day
The 2nd day of the first test of this India-Pakistan Pepsi Test
series will be underway in a little under 15 minutes from now
The crowd is slowly building up. India have got themselves into a
good position here
48/0, effectively 190 behind with 10 wickets in hand.
The crowd is certainly larger than it was at the same time
yesterday.
They would obviously be awaiting the performance from the two
Ramesh's on show today, one of them making his debut, the other
one we obviously know who
Six cops around the pitch area now
India would ideally want to get a lead in excess of 100, try and
bowl out Pakistan cheaply to close out the match with time to
spare
Pakistan would be looking forward to getting India out for <
200-250, bat a lot better in the second innings and then use their
bowling firepower to skittle out India in the 4th innings to win
this test
As Shastri would have put it, a cracking day in store
The pitch hasnt behaved dangerously at all. It is not a flat pitch
though. We did see Wasim and Waqar extracting life out of it
yesterday evening
The Pakistani players troop out onto the field to loud cheers from
this extremely sportive and wonderful crowd
Here are the umpires, to loud cheers obviously
And the loudest cheers of them all, reserved for Ramesh and VVS
Laxman
Wasim Akram will start proceedings from the Indian Oil Stand end,
which is the one opposite us
Ramesh will face him.
The anticipatory clapping again
7.1 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, two runs, on the legs, tossed up, turned
past midwicket
a slip, leg slip, silly point, forward short leg around the bat
7.2 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, no run, on the legs, goes on the
backfoot to defend
7.3 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, two runs, played past square leg,
another couple
7.4 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, no run, outside the off, defended - away
from the body. Moin congratulates Saq "very well bowled saqqy"
7.5 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, no run, driven to midon, and this time
Moin shouts: "unlucky, very well bowled saqqy"
7.6 Saqlain Mushtaq to Laxman, no run, well tossed up as Laxman
watchfully forward to defend it to silly point

Not fully forward, and Anwar having a dismissal similar to the
first innings
No doubt about this one, cut back at the last moment. This wicket
will do wonders for Prasad's confidence, his first of the match
4.1 Srinath to Afridi, no run, defended
Ijaz is the new man in, perhaps Pakistan wouldnt like to send in a
night watchman, what with a maximum of 3-4 overs more possible
4.2 Srinath to Afridi, one run, driven hard and in the air to Ramesh
who doesnt catch cleanly, that will go down as a dropped chance
4.3 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, FOUR
Major discussion there, possibly about the light
The crowd isnt going to be too happy about this
Long shadows are extending across the ground
Could spin be the solution ?
Pakistan had an atrocious over rate of 13 per hour
And they do continue
4.4 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, defended, goes across his stumps
4.5 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, FOUR, over pitched and crashed it through
cover. Bad light ? Naah !

edges and goes over third man

6.4 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, defends off the backfoot
6.5 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, good bouncer, Ijaz shaped to hook
did nothing right there as the ball swung away
For the statistic mongers, Afridi's highest scores have come in
this test, both innings 11

cover

Quite inexplicable, not more than 2 overs to go and no sign of
Kumble yet
7.1 Prasad to Afridi, no run, defended to covers
7.2 Prasad to Afridi, one run, turned to sqleg
Azhar was placed for a mistimed hook but that was not to be
Crowd applaudes the great throw

Prasad running on the wicket no official warning yet though
7.4 Prasad to Ijaz Ahmed, one run, short, pulled but kept it down,
Azhar fields and the crowd applauds the throw

innings
Kumble can wait, here is Srinath
8.1 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, outside off, left alone
8.2 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, pushed to mid off, off the backfoot.
Surprise, no cheers for Tendulkar's fielding
The duck definitely had something to do with this
8.3 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, backfoot defense to cover
8.4 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, outside off, left alone
Batting last might turn out to be quite tricky on this pitch. 200+
would be quite difficult, bounce isnt exactly even, turn too
8.5 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, bouncer, Ijaz sways away
Appeal again
Bad light again appealed for
Steve Dunne practices his stance
Long wait here
And that, unfortunately, is play
bad light appealed for and given
The crowd doesnt protest though
Match State: Close of play, Day 2
Pakistan lead by 18 runs with 9 wickets in hand.
Match State: Close of play - Day 2
The 3rd day of this extremely eventful test will be underway
shortly in 5-10 minutes from now
Pakistan 18 ahead, 9 wickets in hand
Six cops still there around the pitch
India would obviously be looking to repeat their performance of the
first innings of the test where they got Pakistan out cheaply.
India would want to get Pakistan all out cheaply so that they dont
have anything more than 200-220 to chase
The pitch is offering support for Kumble and Saqlain.
They have been able to extract bounce and turn from the good length
spots
Cheers for Messrs Dunne and Ramaswami
The Indian players jog out, hopefully a sign of their eagerness to
get the wickets
Ijaz and Afridi join them at the pitch
There must be a lot of batpad appeals from now on, hopefully the
decisions, if bad, will not affect the esult
Srinath has 1 ball to complete in his 5th over, from the Anna
pavillion end
here goes
8.6 Srinath to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, defended, inside edge onto the pad

crucial day blah blah
9.2 Prasad to Afridi, FOUR, down the legside, superbly timed drive
through midwicket

2 slips, point, cover, mid off, mid on, sqleg, fineleg and third
man
9.5 Prasad to Afridi, no run, driven to Dravid at mid off

BCCI Secretary Lele shown on the telly in front of us
Field for Kumble:
Slip, short leg, mid on, mid wicket, long leg, point, cover, mid
off and a silly point wearing his shin pads
Dravid at silly point, VVS Laxman at short leg, Ganguly at slip
10.1 Kumble to Ijaz Ahmed, no run, forward defense. Ijaz will make sure
he doesnt do a 'no shot offered' like he did in the first innings
They appeal for a ct and bd
The Indians think so, umpires confering about whether it was a bump
catch
Third umpire referred to
That looked out on the replay
Played it on the half volley

Match State: tea
Wonderful session for Pakistan, just one wicket lost
It has been Afridi's day/session whatever
Parnership of 97, Malik has only 29
Afridi scored 64 runs off 70 deliveries he faced from Kumble
I fail to understand why Saqlain, Wasim etc. are getting practice
here. There is no way they will be required to bat if the Indian
"attack" bowls in the same vein
The last session of the third day gets underway, Pakistan firmly in
command, 250 ahead, 6 wickets left
The pitch suddenly has ceased to be of any help, or is that becasue
of the inability of the bowlers?
63.1 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, guided to third man
63.2 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, one run, pushed past sqleg, midwicket came
running around feigning to field it but gave up
63.3 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, good delivery, kicked up but
equally well played and that is hte 100 partnership
63.4 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, one run, cut through point
63.5 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, one day cricket here, guided
through to third man
63.6 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, flicks over diving midwicket who
fails to latch on (if he got a hand to it), Tendulkar at deep
sqleg gtives up the chase too
