Akmal Prop ups Pakistan:
Akmal scored his fourth century as he and Razzaq forged a century partnership to rescue Pakistan from 39/6 after they were done in by some good bowling by Irfan Pathan and Zaheer Khan as at one stage Pakistan were reeling at 16/4.As Irfan’s hatrick saw them reeling at 16/4.
It was Irfan Pathan’s day who draw flak for his poor performance at firsr two matches bowled well to claim his first hatrick of his career as he took the wickets of
Salman Butt, Younis Khan, Mohammed Yousuf in his first over itself.
Salman Butt was the first to go as he was caught at first slip by Rahul Dravid in the third ball of the day as he unnecessarily dragged his bat on to an outswinger.
Then came Younis Khan who had scored four consecutive centuries against India in last four matches as he was trapped in front of the wicket by an in swinger ,which was a perfect delivery to bowl to an new batsman.
Mohammed Yousuf followed Younis Khan very next ball as he was bowled by Pathan to get his first hatrick of the career.
Faisal Iqbal came next as instead of Pakistan’s captain Inzamam dropped out of the test match because of a acute back pain. And he did not too last long as he was trapped by Zaheer who also got some thing from the pitch.
Afridi announced his intentions upon his arrival by striking a glorious cover drive of Zaheer Khan he also did not last long as he was bowled next ball by Zaheer kahn as he repeated the same shot again.
Imran Farhat who came back into the side in the pace of Shoiab Malik did n ’t do justice for his inclusion as he was caught at second slip when going for an extensive cover drive of R.P.Singh with Pakistan in deep trouble at 39/6 as Razzaq and Akmal came together and forged a century partnership to rescue Pakistan again as they have done before same opposition at Mohali in 2004-2005 when they were only 65 runs ahead with only four wickets in hand.
Kamran Akmal was the star of the day as he pulled and cut ferociously to gather runs to rescue Pakistan from deep trouble. Razzaq was the next to go as he was trapped by R.P.Singh with score reading at 159.
India got a chance to dismiss Pakistan well below 200 when India’s Wicketkeeper Dhoni missed a easiest of stumping chances with Akmal on 78 as he was completely foxed by Anil Kumble.
Akthar and Akmal combined well to take Pakistan well above the Psychological
mark of 200 runs as Akthar once again scored some important runs for his team which included two huge sixes over square leg and midwicket.At one stage Pakistan
Were cruising nicely ,but Indian bowlers bowled well in the end to restrict Pakistan to a modest score of 250.
