- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36.2 slower ball and Hafeez didn't read it properly! He was on his knee to slog that away over the on side, the off cutter hits his back leg, you could see off and middle stumps, Gould was convinced 225/235.5 Irfan just manages to hang on! Jamshed gets on his knee and slogs and gets a top edge that swirls towards short third man, Irfan jogs forward and the ball nearly bounces off his palm 224/142.5 straight to short fine leg! Akmal tries to paddle it away down to fine leg, it's a low full toss swinging in and he ends up scooping it down to Gambhir who didn't have to move much 273/348.5 one of the more unbelievable catches you will see! Younis made room to scoop inside out over extra cover and Raina was at the edge of the circle, leapt and plucked it mid-air with his wrong hand, he was moving to his left so it was that much more difficult for him 323/547.4 he picks a full delivery and tries to hoick it over deep midwicket but hits it straight down Kohli's throat, temporary relief for India 313/449.3 India's catching of late should lift their spirits! Azam gets across to the off stump to to slam a slower delivery over the on side, wasn't in full control and Kohli managed to cup it while pedaling backwards, fell back and managed to hang on 326/6Extras15 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL329/6 (50 Overs, RR: 6.58)Fall of wickets: 1-224 (Nasir Jamshed, 35.5 ov), 2-225 (Mohammad Hafeez, 36.2 ov), 3-273 (Umar Akmal, 42.5 ov), 4-313 (Shahid Afridi, 47.4 ov), 5-323 (Younis Khan, 48.5 ov), 6-326 (Hammad Azam, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 doesn't take long to strike! Tossed up on middle and the ball straightens, Gambhir was trying to work it across the line but was struck in front of middle, easy one for the umpire 0/119.3 Full credit to Ajmal for this wicket! The doosra consumes Tendulkar, he was forward, waiting for it to turn in, he ended up getting an outside edge to Younis at first slip, that ends another fine Sachin innings, now the game is open 133/247.1 a top edge ends Kohli's special knock! Like Rohit he tries to launch a length ball over the on side and gets a top edge that swirls to point, easily taken, he walks back to the applause, equals the highest score by an Indian batsman in a chase 318/445.5 a little late in the day for Pakistan, Rohit tries to biff a length ball over the infield on the on side but gets a top edge that swirls just behind midwicket, Afridi pedals backwards and catches it 305/3Extras11 (b 5, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL330/4 (47.5 Overs, RR: 6.89)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Gautam Gambhir, 0.2 ov), 2-133 (Sachin Tendulkar, 19.3 ov), 3-305 (Rohit Sharma, 45.5 ov), 4-318 (Virat Kohli, 47.1 ov)
