How Virender Sehwag flayed the bowlers to all parts en route to his double-century
On a day when he bulldozed past several batting records, Virender Sehwag has said that Shoaib Akthar, Pakistan's strike bowler, "hasn't lived up to expectations"
Karachi - and not Lahore - was originally scheduled to host the first Test against India, according to the Pakistan Cricket Board

Bob Woolmer has given his full backing to Shoaib Malik in his role as opener and asked the media to end speculation about Pakistan's opening combination
A refreshingly positive response from Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid was the only saving grace on another day when India's bowling came from the Chamber of Horrors
If not for a wet cricket ball, Test cricket might have witnessed a stunning first

Sometimes on days that defy comprehension, you can only look to statistics to help you begin to understand what actually passed

Records continued to tumble at the Gaddafi Stadium as Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid led an emphatic Indian response to a mountain of a total on a start-stop fourth day of the first Test at Lahore
Rain and gloom ensured that just 14 balls were possible on the final day at Lahore as the curtains came down on a record-filled Test
It's not often that a fantastic 199 is overshadowed but three other stupendous hundreds made it a day of revelry for the Pakistan batsmen, amassing a mammoth 679 for 7 declared
An inspired 90 from Younis Khan, India's tormentor in the previous series back home, and two contrasting knocks from Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Yousuf put Pakistan in a dominant position on the first day of the series at Lahore

Rahul Dravid has admitted that he had decided to open the batting "the night before the game"
Younis Khan peppered the off side with plenty of boundaries en route to his unbeaten 147
On a pitch that could best be described as comatose, Younis Khan played the dazzling lead, reprising Virender Sehwag's effort of 22 months ago
Greg Chappell has said that "experience and knowledge of the conditions" had been one of the reasons for picking Sourav Ganguly for the first Test of the series at Lahore
As the Indians look back at the first day's play at Lahore they may have to demystify the Y of it, with Younis Khan's triumphant century and Mohammad Yousuf's classy 90 putting them well and truly on the back foot
