- Tendulkar 83b, Dravid 69b, 2x4, Mongia 46b
- Tendulkar and Dravid steady the innings after the loss of
early wkts. Srinath gets Rathore snicking a rising ball of
good length. Prasad does ditto with Muzumdar. Tendulkar
plays a very controlled innings. Dravid plays well and Saurav
Ganguly is patchy (According to Deccan herald). Azhar
finishes Prabhakar's overs in a trot and had Prasad and
Srinath bowl the slogs.
- Raju brought on after 10 overs, get Jadeja nick it to the
keeper while playing a cut and Prabhakar loft it to mid-off
for a catch. Azhar was caught in front of the wicket of a
beauty that straightened out. India had hopes
until Sidhu and Manjrekar was on. Sidhu who was tied down by
Hirwani, lost patience and holed out. Runs were tough to
come, when tendulkar was bowling since the ball wobbled a
bit. Finally he got Manjrekar trapped in front. Mongia was
punishing on Mhambrey when he was brought on for second
spell. Raju brought on, got all the three wickets - Mongia,
Srinath and Kumble. Raju's bowling has been praised by all
the papers, with IE going as far as saying that he being left
out over Chatterjee is still a mystery after Raju's
performance against the Windies.
