Third day:
Mohammed Yousuf and Younis Khan made amends for their dismal show in first innings as they once again plundered Indian attack to all parts of the ground and also it this the third time in this series they haven been involved in a century partnership.As they once again proved to be thorn in India’s flesh.


Both Younis Khan and Mohammed Yousuf batted with strong resolve and commitment totake Pakistan’s total well beyond the score of 300 as they batted India out of the match.


Once again in this series Younis and Yousuf fell to Anil Kumble as he was rewarded
for his preservance and accurate line and length even on a wicket that does dole out anything to spin bowlers.


Younis Khan’s and Mohammed Yousuf’s wickets put Pakistan on a back track as they were 303/4 at one stage and any further loss of wickets would had India gaining an upper hand in this match was thwarted by Afridi who shattered any hopes of an Indian come back in this test match by his flamboyant batting with good support provided by Faisal Iqbal at the other end.



After Afridi’s departure Razzaq and Faisal batted extraordinarly to keep Indians out of the match and Faisal Iqbal trumpted his return to test cricket after 3 long years by scoring his madien century in last over of the day bowled by Anil Kumble.At the end of fourth day of play Pakistan were comfortably placed with a lead of 512 runs and with more than two days to go.
