MATCH REPORT:- LUNCH DAY 4
-----------------------------------------------
At lunch on day 4 the Indians score has reached 4/511 off 68 overs. (7.5 per over).

The run rate was fierce and the Indians smashed the ball all around the place, they had a few casualties but it did not bother them in the end.

Patel was first to go, he tried to smack one over Samaraweera's head and got caught at mid on.

next to go was tendulkar, a close run out.

Laxman was the final one to go, he tried to smach one over mid wicket, but all he hit was air.

That left Gangully at the crease on 14* and Chopra who is still in on 220*.

The pitch is not bouncing much now and it should be very tough to bat on, on day 5.

Batting:
Akash Chopra: 220* off 190 balls
Parthiv Patel: 71 off 58 balls
Sachin Tendulkar: 53 off 32 balls
VVS Laxman: 32 off 29 balls

Bowling:
C.Vaas: 20 overs, 1 maiden, 0/104 (5.2 per over)
