Anil Kumble: "When you struggle to pick up five wickets in both innings, that's no moral victory to me. I think overall we dominated the match over the five days"

he is right

Pakistan in India Test Series - 3rd Test

India 13/1 (8.5 ov)
Pakistan
     India won the toss and elected to bat first

     Pakistan team               
Salman Butt, Yasir Hameed, captainYounis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Faisal Iqbal, Misbah-ul-Haq, wicketkeeperKamran Akmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Yasir Arafat, Danish Kaneria


6.6      Shoaib Akhtar to Jaffer, no run, Dropped! short one banged in, Jaffer gets inside the line of the ball and fends it awkwardly towards the off side with an angled bat. The ball goes up in the air and hangs their for a second before descending towards gully. Mohammad Sami is late to react and can't quite wrap his hands round the ball


7.4      Mohammad Sami to Gambhir, OUT, Gone! short of a good length and outside the off stump, Gambhir feels for that one outside the off stump and only manages an edge as the ball moves away a fraction. The edge carries - that's a first in this series - and Kamran Akmal dives to his left and takes a good catch
     G Gambhir c wicketkeeperKamran Akmal b Mohammad Sami 5 (19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 26.31

Yasir Arafat to Dravid, OUT, short of a length and outside the off, Dravid's eyes light up and he goes for the cut. The ball bounces a touch extra and the ball goes off a thick edge to Younis at first slip who makes no mistake
R Dravid c Misbah-ul-Haq b Yasir Arafat 19 (28b 3x4 0x6) SR: 67.85


India 44/2 (16.2 ov)

Yasir Arafat to Jaffer, OUT, full and on the off, sharp swing in for Arafat, Jaffer shoulders arms to the wrong ball and is dead in the water. No doubt at all about that one and Jaffer goes. That was a serious error in judgment from a batsman in prime form
W Jaffer lbw b Yasir Arafat 17 (62b 3x4 0x6) SR: 27.41


India 51/3 (19.0 ov)

Yasir Arafat to Laxman, OUT, just short of a good length and on the off, this one keeps a bit low, Laxman defends without quite bending low and the ball goes off the toe of the bat back onto the stumps. That is a huge wicket for Arafat and Pakistan just before lunch
VVS Laxman b Yasir Arafat 5 (10b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

India 61/4 (23.4 ov)

yasir arafat on fire

87.4      Mohammad Sami to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, Gone! against the run of play a wicket falls in the dying moments of the day. Yuvraj Singh looks to work the ball to the leg side, closes the face of the bat early. The ball spears off the leading edge and goes up in the air to the gully region. Faisal Iqbal takes the catch and an absolutely fabulous innings comes to an end. Loud applause for Yuvraj as he trudges off the ground

Harbhajan to Akmal, out Stumped!! Harbhajan bowls it from a flatter trajectory, angling away from the right hander, Akmal comes on the frontfoot a long way and looks to drive, misses, Karthik whips the bails in a flash, Akmal fails to drag his foot behind the crease and India get a very important breakthrough here Akmal st Karthik b Harbhajan 65(114) [4s-12]
