Match State: tea
Wonderful session for Pakistan, just one wicket lost
It has been Afridi's day/session whatever
Parnership of 97, Malik has only 29
Afridi scored 64 runs off 70 deliveries he faced from Kumble
I fail to understand why Saqlain, Wasim etc. are getting practice
here. There is no way they will be required to bat if the Indian
"attack" bowls in the same vein
The last session of the third day gets underway, Pakistan firmly in
command, 250 ahead, 6 wickets left
The pitch suddenly has ceased to be of any help, or is that becasue
of the inability of the bowlers?
63.1 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, guided to third man
63.2 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, one run, pushed past sqleg, midwicket came
running around feigning to field it but gave up
63.3 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, good delivery, kicked up but
equally well played and that is hte 100 partnership
63.4 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, one run, cut through point
63.5 Prasad to Saleem Malik, one run, one day cricket here, guided
through to third man
63.6 Prasad to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, flicks over diving midwicket who
fails to latch on (if he got a hand to it), Tendulkar at deep
sqleg gtives up the chase too

Pakistani team is out there, the Indian openers should be appearing
soon
The start they provide is going to be crucial

Scoreboard says 25 overs more to be bowled, but given the slow over
