Great Opening Day!
Finally some action. Irfan Pathan had an unbelievable first over - a hat-trick to do away with the top three of Pakistan batsmen. The Zaheer and R P Singh chipped in with 2 more and Pakistan was tottering with only half a days' play gone. Then came the superb fightback by Akmal with Akthar and Razzaq. Akmal has heart of a lion!
With a not-that-bad score of 250, Pakistan had to bowl all out and that's what they did. Shoib was at his fieryy best giving Sachin one of the best deliveries a new batsman can get. Asif was also good bowling to his strength and getting his due. With Razzaq getting the big wicket of Sachin, India was in a real bad state at close of play. Yuvraj and Ganguly was at crease and they got lot on their mind for tonight.
Till play begins on the second day, at 0500 GMT/1000 Pakistan time/1030 India time it is goodbye from me @ 22 yards.
