       Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the third and final Test
        between India and Pakistan being held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium,
        Bangalore.
       India won the second Test by a healthy margin of 195 runs and they
        lead the series 1-0. It's a must win situation for Pakistan, and
        they will be under tremendous pressure to perform well here.
       Inzamam-ul-Haq will be playing his 100th Test when he takes the
        field today! when asked about Pakistan's prospects he agreed that
        the pitch would help India play for a draw.
       But we have no choice," he said. "We have to go for a win. It
        doesn't matter if we lose, but we must win.
       When asked if he would go for a draw on a batting-friendly surface
        at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore to secure the series win?
       Ganguly said he would not "We will play this Test like we played
        the last two," he said. "We will play to win."
       Of the last eight Tests at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, seven have
        produced a decisive result. India have been at the wrong end of
        the last three decisive Tests at this venue, losing twice to
        Australia and once to South Africa. Pakistan.

Match State: Stumps - Day 1

       Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the second day's play
       Yesterday after the two early wickets it was Inzamam and Younis
        Khan all the way, they played like true champions, under pressure,
        and amassed 316* runs for the third wicket.
       they are still out there, Inzi need just 16 more to get to a double
        hundred.
       Indian bowlers will be hoping it will be a better day today, but
        for that they need something out of the ordinary
       nothing much has changed as far the pitch is concerned, still very
        much a batting paradise!
       weather looks good, players are out in the middle and we are all
        set for the start of day two.
       New ball is just 6 overs old, Irfan Pathan will start the
        proceedings
       coming over the wicket to the right-handed Younis Khan

        stump and angling in, Younis ducks under it
  90.4 Pathan to Younis Khan, FOUR, edged past the second slip, ball was
        angling across the right-hander and Younis Khan was trying to
        defended it on the back-foot, close but not close enough
  90.5 Pathan to Younis Khan, no run, pitched outside the leg stump and
        angling in, defended to the off side

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Good morning and welcome to the live coverage of the third day's
        play
       yesterday Sehwag and Gambhir started off well, in pursuit of the
        Pakistan's mammoth first innings total of 570 runs.
       Sehwag especially looked in good touch, he was unbeaten on 39 (33
        balls) at the end of the second day's play.
       Pakistan need couple of early wickets to stir things up, with 570
        on the board they can very well afford to attack with full force
       it's still a batting beauty but yesterday we saw Harbhajan get some
        assistance
       India trail by 515 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st
        innings, they need another 316 runs to avoid the follow-on

Match State: Stumps - Day 3

       Good morning and welcome to the live coverage of fourth day's play
       The match is nicely poised at this stage with all sorts of outcome
        possible!
       India still trail by 191 runs with just four wickets in hand
       to take command, Pakistan will be have to finish off the remaining
        India batsmen as quickly as possible, the sooner the better.
       It's a tricky situation for India, they will have to score runs as
        well as consume time, Laxman is the last recognized batsman and a
        lot will depend on him now
       still a good batting track, but the spinners are starting to get
        some grip and turn and batting will become more or more difficult
        as we move along
       All in all it's going to be a thrilling day's play.
       players are out in the middle, flags are fluttering and the
        atmosphere is electric
       Laxman will take strike and it will be Mohammad Sami to start the
        bowling attack
       here we go!
 100.1 Mohammad Sami to Laxman, one run, good length delivery outside the
        off stump, pushed wide of the fielder at backward point
 100.2 Mohammad Sami to Pathan, no run, short of a good length delivery on
        the middle and off stump line, reversing in, excellent delivery
        first up, Pathan gets behind the line and defends it well
 100.3 Mohammad Sami to Pathan, no run, fuller outside the off stump,
        played to mid-off
 100.4 Mohammad Sami to Pathan, no run, angling across, Pathan goes after
        it and gets beaten, loose shot
 100.5 Mohammad Sami to Pathan, no run, pitched outside the off stump and
        swinging away, ball keeps low and beats Pathan, awkward take for
        the keeper
 100.6 Mohammad Sami to Pathan, no run, on the legs, Pathan tries to flick
        it away but fails to make contact, ball hits the pad and rolls
        away on the leg side
