MS Dhoni 57* (72b 7x4) Iftikhar Anjum 6-0-38-0
42.6 Abdur Rehman to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, caught in the deep! Yuvraj gets down on one knee and slog sweeps Rehman, looking to clear the deep backward square leg boundary, he got a bit of a top edge that flew straight to fine leg where Afridi takes an easy catch
Yuvraj Singh c Shahid Afridi b Abdur Rehman 58 (74b 6x4 1x6) SR: 78.37
42.5 Abdur Rehman to Yuvraj Singh, no run, full ball on middle stump, defended towards midwicket
42.4 Abdur Rehman to Dhoni, 1 run, pulled through midwicket to Butt in the deep for a single
42.3 Abdur Rehman to Dhoni, FOUR, dreadfully short and Dhoni rocks back and hammers the ball through midwicket for another boundary
42.2 Abdur Rehman to Yuvraj Singh, 1 run, Yuvraj latches on to a short ball and pulls it to deep backward square leg for a single, it brings up the 100-run stand between these two
Shoaib ran all the way in but Uthappa pulled out of the shot because the advertising hoardings were uncovered behind the bowler's arm.
43.6 Iftikhar Anjum to Dhoni, 1 run, Dhoni hardly moves his feet as he drives a good length delivery towards mid-off, the fielder is standing on the edge of the circle so there's an easy single on offer
43.5 Iftikhar Anjum to Uthappa, 1 run, Uthappa gets off the mark by flicking a full toss off his pads towards long leg
43.4 Iftikhar Anjum to Uthappa, no run, good length ball on off and middle stump, defended on the front foot towards the leg side
43.3 Iftikhar Anjum to Dhoni, 1 run, driven back to the bowler on the front foot, Rao fumbles and allows the single
43.2 Iftikhar Anjum to Dhoni, FOUR, superbly timed, Dhoni comes on to the front foot and drives on the up through cover, mid-off runs quickly to his left and slides but the ball beats him comfortably and races to the boundary
43.1 Iftikhar Anjum to Dhoni, no run, Rao strays down leg side, Dhoni tries to run it down to fine leg but gets hit on the pad, Akmal collects and appeals for the caught behind
Yuvraj falls for 58 but is it too little too late for Pakistan? Uthappa is the new batsman.
End of over 43 (7 runs) - India 218/4 (22 runs required)
Abdur Rehman 10-1-54-1IK Pathan 1* (4b) Shoaib Akhtar 7-0-44-2

44.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, no run, full ball on off and middle stump, Pathan pushes it off the front foot towards cover
44.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, 1 wide, 145.1 kmh, Shoaib angles the ball down leg side from round the wicket and concedes another wide
44.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, 1 wide, short and wide outside the off stump, Pathan slashes at it and misses, that was pretty close to the bat but the umpire calls it wide
44.5 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, no run, Shoaib fires the yorker in on off stump, he grunts as he puts a lot of effort into that ball, Pathan jabs down on it and plays the ball towards point
44.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Uthappa, 1 run, that one kept low on off stump, Uthappa moves across towards the off side, pushes the ball towards midwicket and takes the single
44.3 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, 1 run, short of a length ball on leg and middle stump, Pathan nudges the ball towards midwicket and calls for the single
44.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Pathan, no run, Shoaib gives Pathan a bouncer first up, he ducks under it but the ball dips and bounces a second time before reaching Akmal
Irfan Pathan is the new batsman. Can Shoaib produce something special now? Slip and gully in place.
44.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Dhoni, OUT, and he strikes straight away! Shoaib pitches one on a good length outside off stump, Dhoni drives away from his body and gets a thick edge through to Akmal who takes the catch this time, it was flying at considerable speed and the light isn't the best so he did well to hold on to it
MS Dhoni c wicketkeeperKamran Akmal b Shoaib Akhtar 63 (77b 8x4 0x6) SR: 81.81
India need only 15 more. Shoaib returns to bowl his seventh over.
45.5 Iftikhar Anjum to Pathan, no run, defended on the front foot for a single
Just six runs needed for India to go one up in the series.
45.4 Iftikhar Anjum to Pathan, FOUR, streaky streaky, Pathan tries to cut one that's much too close to the body, the inside edge goes ever so close to his off stump and runs down to the fine-leg boundary, Akmal had no chance to stop that
45.3 Iftikhar Anjum to Pathan, no run, width offered outside off stump, Pathan frees his arms and drives off the front foot towards cover
45.2 Iftikhar Anjum to Uthappa, 1 run, driven down the ground to long off for a single
45.1 Iftikhar Anjum to Uthappa, no run, huge appeal for lbw, Uthappa moves across his stumps and tries to close the face of the bat, the ball nips back into Uthappa and hits him on the top of the front pad, Rao thinks he has his man but the umpire says not out, that was very close, might have clipped the top of leg stump
End of over 45 (4 runs) - India 229/5 (11 runs required)
End of over 44 (7 runs) - India 225/4 (15 runs required)

46.3 Shoaib Akhtar to Uthappa, no run, bowled full and fast in the block hole on off and middle stump, Uthappa comes forward and blocks
46.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Uthappa, no run, full ball at nearly 93 mph, Uthappa moves across the stumps and tries to hit through midwicket, the ball kept very low and beat the bat, how did that miss the stumps, it's almost as though Uthappa can't see it in the fading light
46.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Uthappa, no run, pitches on a good length on off stump and goes straight through, Uthappa tries to hit across the line but gets beaten
