Clarke and Ganguly are very good players of spin.

Lara is simply a master of it.

Over 500 then at the close with Lara just short of 200.

Be interesting to see how long they bat for tomorrow as they need enough time to bowl Pakistan out.Probably do them good to be bowled out just before lunch.

[Mr Hutt]

WI end with a lead of 234. Lara fell at last to Danish Kaneria who took five wikets but for a massive 180 runs.. Lara went past the 200 as well before he fell. Pakistan at lunch were 21/0 Ball seaming Imran Farhat and Hafeez just surviving, Pak will have to do a lot more of surviving to get through this massive WI lead and draw the match.

[greg]

They just need to bat sensibly and hold their nerve.Something which Pakistan teams don't always do but being 1 up they do have something to fight for.

[Mr Hutt]

105/1 right now.. Farhat and Yunis consolidating after Hafeez departed.. looks like pak might just hold on

As Sir Geoffrey always says, 'Add two wickets to that'

Pakistan will have to score 400 before this test is safe.
