Test #1783: Day 2

Pakistan served up the same treatment they got from India yesterday. India is all out for 238 in reply to 245 from Pakistan. Two innings are over in less than two days. Two more to go with 3-and-a-half days left.

The second innings from Pakistan has just started. Their objective should be to carefully and cautiously bat out their entire innings and then leave India with a massive total to chase. The performance of the Pakistani batsmen today will decide the winner of this series.

Update 2:05 PM ET
Pakistan has a healthy lead of 180 runs with 8 wickets in hand. Younis and Yousuf are at a 51-run partnership. These two will have to show their skill tomorrow and bat as long as possible. The Pakistanis should put up a lead of at least 400 runs to put pressure on the Indians. Then, the pace of Akhtar, the emerging potential of Asif and the guile of Kaneria can definitely win this match for Pakistan.
