Assuming light remaining same as yesterday, it's just 29 overs these two have to see off for today. Yep, it looks much more achievable but one wicket could still change things upside down...

Sachin is not gonna get out on this wicket...

Dhoni can get out.. Harbajan is also in form..... this match might end day 5 late ... Rain and good batting can save India

Sachin still can get out.. He is Human after all.. Otherwise he would never got out on Indian Soil..
 
Tendulkar getting close to 15,ooo runs , should easily get in mid of next year.

amazing how this guy went from 12k to 13k to 14k in a flash and now nothing stopping from 15k :D
 
A good session for us, all these runs are gonna help gain confidence for the next test.

The bright sign is Dhoni getting runs !

He can be even better.. But Problem is we put all our Expectations on his shoulder and he is only 20yrs old. If he can play three yrs alongside moyo and yk,he will learn so many things to improve his Game and will become More dangerous than any other Batsman as we all know he has the capability..

India showing some good fight here! Pretty much its down to Dhoni, Sachin and Sardaarji to make a fist of a fight here for rest of this match!

Bhai Kamran Akmal was the best thing for Pak team.. He was batting well, keeping well but got into all the money, Fame, faxing thing...

Now he is rubbish plays well once in a while

Umar Akmal started so well..Such a bright talent . But look now...
Looks like walking wicket everytime.. The inning I saw him play against Wi in CT 2009 he looked so good A bit like Tendulkar...

But these days he looks to slog any bowl,, He is trying to follow Afridi .
 
The last session will be crucial either way. If India can get through that session without losing a wicket then India may yet pull this out the fire and get a draw but If SA get 1 more wicket then that will open the door for SA to barge through and take the victory

Sa havent been able to create pressure !
 
Common guys.What rubbish conclusions you are making as match goes by,same as most websites.Yest when india started u said sewag key,then u said dravid and sachin key,then laxman key,Now telling bhajji,dhoni and sachin are the key.This is same old pathetic commentary.From next match tell before the match starts two players from each side who will be the key.

Well, if SA can manage to wrap up Indian innings even by first session tomorrow, they would have good 50 overs to chase any lead India may create. It's still a long long road ahead...

All Indian batsman have looked good in the second inning...

SA bowling have been average in the second inning.... Right now Sachin and Dhoni is the key... Money is on Sa but SA are bowling average stuff... no wickets with the new bowl might cost them this match.

The point i am trying to make is everyone knows these things,obviously who is present at the pitch will be key.Cricinfo had the same stuff yesterday for the ashes-
"Aussies should win here unless prior and rest do something out of the blue".Its so obvious about these things.Everyone knows if one bats well,the other will lose,if one bowls well other loses
 
india have just given themselves a outside chance to draw this match atleast,,,
long way to go yet but while these 2 are at the crease there is hope of india,,,
sachin got lucky with the lbw once ,,
lets see if his luck will help him futher

But he still has lots of time to go on top.. He is still an asset for Pakistan..
 
Now its looking like SA needed to bat 1 or 2 more hrs to get a lead around 600.. :))

484 is looking too easy to catch for India.. :D
 
History might be created today! Make sure you watch it live.
 
:sachin trying to reach his Hundred in shortest possible time.. Cool Down :sachin.. You can reach that tonight. No Hurries Pls..
