and that is Tea
an entertaining session as long as Tendulkar was there
though Tendulkar did not start very well. Olonga dished up enough
of half-volleys and brought Tendulkar to form
very similar to what happened in the first innings
once Tendulkar got a couple of boundaries, he was unstoppable
in driving and cutting the fast bowlers to smashing the leg
spinners
now India need to score only at about 3.43 an over which is well
within their capabilities
unless Zimbabwe pick up a few more wickets
do come back for the post-tea session as we take a little break
