PAKISTAN GETTING THEIR A$$ KICKED :

18/4 after 7 overs
sensational hat-trick by Irfan Pathan in the first over....

.Mr. lonely, it's too early to predict the result on the second day.

Now, it's the tea time on the third day. The final session will begin soon.

On the 3rd day, Indian bowlers have been struggling since the beginning as the pitch has become slow and batsmen getting more benefit. Thanks to Y2 {Yousuf Youhana (i follow his previous name and will always) and Y. Khan} for playing so brilliantly through out the series. However, unlucky Y. Y. is !!! just fell by 3 runs. What to do with Kumble's guglee??? it hit the pad and Umpire though took the time, rose his finger up. Anyway, hats off to Y2 jodi !!!!

Since, two more days to go and bowlers are not able to get much advantage, I think, YOUNIS KHAN might have advised his boys to play steadily and patiently. Right now THE IIMPATIENT Afridi is palying so steadily (38). The new guy Iqbal is giving him the best support on the other end.

Pak leading by 381 runs (prior to the finall session on 3rd day) with 6 wickets remaining looks a very strong and secured now. However, looking at the Ind batsmen line up, Pak should not be much confident from now. Though Razzaq and Akmal are yet to bat, if PAK adds around 200 runs till tomorrow lunch and ask IND to play, they will be in secured position.

As the bowlers are struggling so hard to bowl out the batsmen, I feel that PAK will declare tomorrow a bit late (condition: if they have wickets in hand and lead by at least 525+) and this match might not bring out the WINNING result. Still question mark ??????

The final session of the day just began.
Let's see what happens on the forthcoming overs.

.Congratulation to Javed Miandad's nephew, Faisal Iqbal for the TON in such a crucial match. The local boy did at last.

One amazing thing is from No. 1 to No. 6, all the batsmen crossed 50, and now, Razzaq is at 44 at the end of third day (hopefully, he will go ahead). Pak leading by 518 (+) will certainly put India on pressure during their second inning.

Dravid attacked using his 7 bowlers today, however, Pak batsmen could not be stopped from piling up the scores on the scoreboard. As usual, Afridi showed his own style of batting by hitting 2 sixex and finally Singh got him, however, a bit late.
