What an awesome performance by middle & low order of Pakistan batting line up. Being behind 204 in the first innings, and again being 10-3 in the second innings. Attack was led by Inzamam with 86 & Youhana with 68. Kamran Akmal & Abdul Razzaq did wonders with (109 & 71 ) when we were 241-6, no one could have imagined the result that we are seeing now as Pakistan have managed to fight from an impossible position to declare at 496-9 in their second innings. This is Pakistans highest team total on the Indian soil with Kaneria being the first Pakistani leg-spinner to capture 5 wickets in an innings in India.

India needing 293 to win with 25 overs left in the last days play.

A job well done Pakistan Team. Totally Committed Performance (Y) (Y)

I dont think australia are any good any more either, even new zealand are a challenge for them. 

new zealand, a challenge ? obviously you didn't hear about the 5-0 series white wash of them in the one dayers by australia. the only game they challenged us was in the first game, the rest were easy wins

  Also dont use the word paks as it is offensive to some people.

why not it's just like calling the british brits. or australians aussies

I was actually talking about the test match thats happening right now. Plus it depends in which way you actually use the word paks, if you use it as an abbreviation for pakistanis then it is totally acceptable.

It would be nice if we had won, we had the upper hand through most of the match. Good for Pakistan. It was a great game to watch.

Loooking forward to the next one.

OT: Has everyone in the UK been able to subscribe to Sony TV to watch the Cricket?

10/3 in the second innings wasnt as bad if you consider that the opening pair and the one down batsman of Pakistan are novices. I wouldnt call it an "impossible" situation because:

a. It is India, not famous for bowling out their opponents.

b. The pitch wasnt a "turner" and did not detereorate. Hence pitch on Day 5 was same as Day 1.

Agreed. :yes:

The test match is finally over and the result is a draw. I think Pakistan played better overall

Played better ? India had a 200+ run lead in the first innings, Pakistan was 10/3 in the second innings and literally played to save the match. :whistle:

India should have won but pakistan lower-middle order and the tail batted really well. They were leading for 4 out of the 5 days and when a team does that it should win the match but again congrats to pakistan for pulling off an unexpected draw. Can't wait for the second test. It should have a lot more atmosphere because they're playing at Eden Gardens in front of 100,000+ people. I think that Khan should be dropped and Harbajan should take his place. Nothing wrong with the batting (apart from ganguly, but you can't really drop the captain).

Qasim are you trying to be funny with your postsor are you being serous? i hopes it's the former.

Also i heard that Balaji got fined for excessive appealling. I didn't really see him appeal too much but then i didn't wake up at 4.30 to start watching.

Yes, 30% of his match fees. :p

Dont know why? I dint feel, it was excessive appealing.

And yes, harbajan should be brought instead of Zaheer khan. Can't wait...

Tomorrow it starts again. I love the eden gardens, seen quite a few matches there. Fantastic ground.

Re: Balaji, there was some excessing appealing but come on, he was off injured for a year so they should cut him some slack but a great performance from him nonetheless.

Yeah I heard they were going to play three seamers also. Should be interesting what team they pick. We'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Its going to be an early morning tomorrow.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
