India 68/4 after 15 overs
Harsha : A mini recovery in progress for India . They are 68/4 after 15 overs . Dravid is on 26 an Yuvraj on 23. A decent run rate still being maintained but the concern is wickets in hand . Dravid is playing beautifully nudging th ball into gaps and with Yuvraj at ehe other end, we hav 2 players who run well between the wickets .
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE :
Harsha Bhogle : Just when things started to look good for India, thy have lost 2 quick wickets of Yuvraj and Kumble . Dravid for some strange reason has sent in Kumble ahead of Dhoni but the move has certainly backfired . All that after a breezy 54 by Yuvraj Singh and a partnership that has certainly rekindled the hopes of an Indian fightback . Dhoni is out there batting with Dravid and India are 151/6 after 31 overs . The drinks trolley is out on the field .
Navjot Sidhu : India are certainly in soup . Now their mind is in a sea of doubt whether to attack or defend and a player like Dhoni can never bat defensively . He is as explosive as a tornado . The Indians will not believing their boubts and doubting their belief but there is still hope with the Wall out there . Mind as cool as ice for the Indian captain . He should continue playing the way he has done and Dhoni should play himself in till the 40th over and then attack . Mind You, the Indian RR is still 5 RPO which is very good .
ITS NOT AS BAD AS IT LOOKS FOR INDIA on this good batting track ! ITS WORSE !!!
Harsha : That was Navjot at his Sidhuismic best ! We have a competition running throughout this series called `Score Predicta ` for the Plantcricket viewers . All You have to do is post what you think will be the first Innings score , in this case for India before completion of the Innings and you have reputation points waiting for You .
The options are
a) below 200
b.) 200-225
c.)225-260
d.) 260 +
So post in your entries for he `Score Predicta` contest and win reputation points .
(Note : I will be giving the reputation points to all those with correct predictions)
We`ll update you with the scores after completion of the Indian Innings !

India Collapse to 194 All out / Pakistan recover after a poor start .
Harsha Bhogle : Welcome back to Star Sports . Pakistan are 83/2 from 22 overs . A great recovery after they were 10/2 losing Butt and Inzamam early .Very unusual to see Afridi bat the way he did . 31 off 56 balls . Well, it has helped Pakistan get back on top . Youhana is batting the way Dravid did for India .
Sidhu : The worst thing in the world is to sit back and wait for things to happen and thats what India hav done . They have let things drift away after getting a great start . They should have gone for th kill and tried to pick up a few more wickets . At the moment nothing seems to b happening . Also, India seem to have missed a trick or two picking kumble ahead of Harbhajan . We saw Sehwag turn a few deliveries visciously . They are surely missing Pathan . At the momen , things looking very bleak for India unless they pick up a few quick wickets . A score of 194 can never be defended unless you pick up wickets . Its looking all hunky dory for Pakistan .
Harsha : Before the Pakistan Innnings began , I told th viewers something about the Score Predicta contest for the Planet Cricket viewers . Since there were not any entries before the Pakistani innings concluded, we have decided to put up another question ,
1.) Which team will win this match ?
a.) India
b.) Pakistan
c.) Draw
Post your entries as soon as possible .

As far as Pakistan winning this one is concerned , I still believe I can win this one for India . I have a trick or two left in my bag . Hope that it works !

India Strike back ! Pakistan 128/6 after 37 overs ! Game On !
Rameez Raza : India have struck back at Egbaston in dramatic fashion . Sachin Tendulkar - you can never keep this man out of the action .He picked up 3 wickets in his 5 overs giving away 17 runs. The game now is delicately poised with Akmal and Razzaq batting . Pakistan have to get 66 of 78 balls . We have a game on ! If Razzaq can strike a few lusty blows , it would releive the pressure on Pak . The pair which did the rescue at Mohali has to get back into action now !
Sidhu :: You are not obligated to suceed , you are obligated to try Rameez ! Sachin reaped rewards for his consistent bowling . He bamboozled the Pak batsmen by bowling round their legs and turning it away from th righ handers . He frustrated them and got them bowled round the legs . Now , there is a new dimension to the game . If India keep things tight for an over or two , the req RR will be 6 an over and India can tighten the screws .

India win comprehensively at Egbaston !
Alan Wilkins : Amazing scenes here at Egbaston . India have beaten Pakistan by 58 runs, a victory which never looked possible 10 overs ago . Pakistan have lost 8 wickets for just 20 runs . At one stage, they were sitting pretty on 83/2 off 22 overs, weren`t they Wasim ?
Wasim Akram : Yes , they must be very disappointed on not winning this game . Losing 8 wickets for 20 runs is inexplicable . I still think there was nothing wrong with the pitch .There was a littl bit of m,ovement in the air which you always get in England. We saw Youhana,Rahul and Yuvraj bat well but the othrs just threw away the wickets .Sachin Tendulkar bowled an outstanding spel;l to compensate his failure with the bat . He bowled tight and picked up crucial wickets when pakistan were sitting pretty at one stage .
Alan Wilkins : 2 defeats from 2 games , where do Pakistan go from here ? Their next game is against the mighty Australians and they can expect no respite, can they !
Wasim : It is still very early stages of the tournament . The tournament is just 3 games old . Pakistan have to pull up their socks and will have to be at the top of their game to even compete against Australia .
India, have got a superb start to the series and now they must not let it slip away . According to me , they are the favorites to reach the finals along with Australia, unless there are a few upsets along the way !
Alan Wilkins : Thank you Wasim, for your thoughts ! the presentation party is ready down there with Rameez !
-------------------------------Presentation-------------------------------
Rameez : We have witnessed a thoroughly professional performance by India to outplay Pakistan and acchieve their second straight win in the Natwest Pentangular .
I would like to call upon Inzamam Ul Haq to hav a chat .
Inzy, disappointed ?
Inzy : Yes , boys tried hard but in the end India played better cricket .
RAmeez : Agla match Aus ke khilaf hai . Ladkon ka morale kaisa hai !(How is the morale of the team for the match against Australia)
Inzy : Dekhiye ji, morale to achcha hi hai . DO match har jaane se series khatam nahi ho jati . Koshish yahi hogi ki inshallah Australia ko hara deen ! (Morale is fine . God willing , I hope we can beat Australia)
Rameez : All the best Inzy !
Now , I would like to call upon the Indian captain Rahul Dravid !
Rahul , well played
Rahul : Ya, we played well . At one stage we were looking down the barrel at 21/4 but myself and Yuvi had a partnership of 100 odd but things again went wrong and we did not score 200 . WE knew it was defendable at Birmingham . The last time w came close to defending 203 in the Champions Trophy match ! Hopefully , we can cary the momentum .
Rameez : All the best : Rahul, I would also like you to collect the man of the match award for your stoic effort with the bat !
Thats all from the presentation !
