India and Pakistan locked in royale battle!

India and Pakistan have fought tooth and nail so far in this Pepsi Test series and we are going to see the end of this fascinating series tomorrow on Day 5. It's really absurd to pick a winner now as the fortunes of both teams have fluctuated greatly thoughout the last two test matches! One can say the sporting ties between India and Pakistan can receive a great lift with this series!

Pakistan have ended Day 4 on 147/4 with Inzamam Ul Haq out in the last over of the day off the 3rd ball. He skied a Zaheer Khan wide delivery straight to mid off and was out for 45.

Youhana and Razzaq are now there at the crease. They have been a very reliable pair for Pakistan this series and the Pakistani fans must be really hoping to see this pair take Pakistan through to a historic win!

India have tightened their screws for most of the day though one was not impressed to see them give easy runs to Inzamam in the end of Day 4. One expects them to bowl tighter if they have to win this one!!

SO, OVER TO DAY 5!! WILL INDIA WIN?? WILL PAKISTAN WIN?? WILL IT BE NEITHER?? DAY 5 WILL TELL YOU THE STORY OF THIS SOON TO BECOME HISTORIC SERIES

India are the favorites at the moment..

But Pakistan cant be discounted. I am sure and also seriously hoping they take it close!!

Latest Update

Good news for Indian fans. Yousuf Youhana bowled by Zaheer Khan for 37! Pakistan 178/5 with Afridi on 9* and Razzaq on 6*. Pakistan need 221 runs to win! Shoaib Malik is the only recognised batsman left in the line up of Pakistan!

Pakistan need less than 200 runs to win!

The target is getting smaller! Pakistan need 199 more runs to win this final test and the series 2-1. Pakistan are 201/5 with Shahid Afridi is not out on 17*. Afridi endured a nasty over of fast bowling when Zaheer Khan hit him on the body 3 times with short deliveries. But Afridi stays on!

I dont think so now borncricketer!

India inching towards big win!!

Looks like India might get a comprehensive win in the end. Pakistan have lost Shahhid Afridi for 17. India's ploy to bounce out Afridi has finally worked. After lots of bouncers which Afridi successfully, Pathan put forward a well directed bouncer aimed at Afridi'e helmet. Afridi tried to hook it and top edged the ball and

Pakistan enduring a torrid time in the middle!

India have found a new weapon to unsettle the Pakistani batsmen - BOUNCERS!! And the Pakistani batsmen are getting hit on their bodies by Pathan and Khan. Afridi fell to a bouncer from Pathan which he couldnt resist hooking. This looks similar to the bodyline bowling of the yesteryears. This dusty wicket has not much to offer for spinners. The pacemen are coming to the party with Pathan picking 4/78 and Zaheer Khan 2 wickets!

Dude, not really fair now is this? I can put in five players at square leg and bounce the team out for less than 50.

Ha Ha.. But still here, the CPU doesnt get out easily to bouncers. I try to mix a bouncer with a slower ball or an in cutter but still the CPU defends it or plays it well. Tutsi Beta Patch 5 works like a charm for me!! Only one wicket so far has been gone to a bouncer!!
 
Go India GO!! - so 4 more wickets needed?? and how many runs needed??
 
Pakistan start Post Lunch session with a bang!!

Pakistan have started post lunch with a bang, scoring 23 runs off 3 overs. They need 160 more runs to win with most part of the Post Lunch session and the final session remaining. This match still can be won by anyone!! The last recognised batting pair for Pakistan is at the crease. Razzaq is on 47* and Shoaib Malik is on 5*. This match is looking to be another close affair!!

4 wickets needed, 160 runs to win!! Razzaq & Malik at the crease!!

Razzaq GONE!!!

Finally, India now look the team who are going to win this series!! Razzaq has holed out to the mid off fielder for 47. Pakistan need 160 more runs to win with the tail and Malik fighting it out there in the middle!!

Yes. But now the tail is in!! India can hope to wash them off quickly!!

Pathan strikes! Ul Hasan goes for a nought!

Irfan Pathan is on cloud nine! This is turning out to be a memorable day for him. He has picked up his 6th wicket with Naved Ul Hasan being LBW in front! Pathan bowled a leg cutter and Ul Hasan left it but it hit his pads in front and was LBW! India need 2 more wickets to wrap this up!

Pakistan's endurance going slowly into the wind!

Pakistan's dogged performance and resistance seems to be unravelling quickly as they are on verge of a defeat with only one more wicket to go! This is the first wicket in their second innings to a spinner on a spinner's paradise! Kumble has trapped Shoaib Malik LBW and India now have one more wicket to finish this off! Score: 244/9

Looks like Naved ul Hasan and Shoaib Malik both got dicey lbw decisions. Thats the problem with unbiased umpires!! Haha.. just kidding Saisrini. Good win for you. Nice thread too.
