Pakistan's batting in second odi

Inzamam won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat on a seaming wicket which was a very bold decision.

India made two changes in the team as Suresh Raina was included in the final eleven and Ramesh Powar coming in as supersub in the place of Murali Karthick who was very much ineffective against Pakistan in the first one dayer.

Indian drew the blood in the very first over itself as Salman Butt edged an away going delivery from Irfan Pathan straight into the hands of Dhoni in the second ball of the day itself.

Shoiab Malik who was the man in form for came in next as he and Kamran Akmal put on good 46 run partnership for the second wicket.Akmal was once again guilty of throwing his wicket away as he played on to stumps to give Irfan Pathan his second wicket of the day.

Mohammed Yousuf who came in as next did not last too long as he was run out due to a smart piece of fielding from Sachin Tendulkar at square leg.

Inzamam soon followed Yousuf as he was done in by a beautiful delivery from Zaheer Khan in his very first over as Inzamam spooned a simple catch to Sreesanth at mid on.

Younis Khan who was the vice captain of the Pakistan team joined Shoiab Malik and gathered runs at very good pace as both of them were in good form in the recently concluded test series.

Indian ground fielding was superb as they ran out four Paksitani batsman in the entire 50 overs.

Shoaib Malik once again fell short of his century as he was run out by sreesanth who brought of a good atheletic throw to run out him.Afridi who came at the fall of Malik disappointed as he was very well deceived by Pathan.Razzaq who came in as next also did not last long as entire Pakistani innings folded of 265 runs in49.2 overs.
