Pollock to Tendulkar, FOUR, and out of the ruins Tendulkar crops up a gorgeous cover drive! good length delivery outside the off stump. Tendulkar quickly gets into position and drills it through the gap between the cover fielder. Classy shot under pressure

Can think of worse situations tbh.

WHat do you guys reckon.. If india score another 150 runs. Match should be india's eh.
Tough part is will they score another 150 and also will the bowlers maintain their disicplane in the 2nd innings.

Well they also have Kumble to fall back on, so even if the quicks lose the plot India should still be able to defend 350.

I would say 350 is defendable, though there is a lot of time and SA could get that even if they play defensively. I would be much more confident with a lead of 400 though.

400 for me as well. Really, we just need to spend time at the crease and see where we are at the end of the day's play. Then, we should probably bat for most or all of tomorrow. Two days to bowl them out is more than enough.

Yup. 400 lead is only about 180 more runs, so that should be doable in the first two sessions. If we can bat those two sessions out, I reckon we have a good chance.

Haha, so true. I wonder how many people still want Pathan back.

Great day for you guys. Now you all know how we felt at Kandy earlier this year. Hopefully the Pakistanis will watch recordings of this match with a notepad in hand.

Unless Dada has something to say about that. Classic cut shot.

Yea but 150 is a lot on this pitch against a good bowling attack. Plus he is the last of the recognized batsmen. After him its Dhoni and then the tail.

Psychologically, if we get 200 runs this innings, it would be a big boost. Or 350 for the lead total, even though I would be nervous with anything less than 400.
