teering for a win
NEW DELHI, PTI: Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly relied on their vast experience to put India on the threshold of a memorable victory against arch rivals Pakistan with the hosts needing just 32 runs on the final day to clinch the first Test.
Chasing a modest target of 203, the Indians were in a spot of bother at 93 for three before Ganguly (48) and Tendulkar (32) came to the rescue of the team with an unbeaten 78-run stand to inch closer to a win which would give them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
India ended an action-packed fourth day at 171 for three in 54.5 overs when bad light dropped early curtains on proceeding.
Earlier, spurred on by a near capacity holiday crowd, the home team took little over 17 overs to polish off the remaining five wickets to bundle out Pakistan for 247, leaving them with a moderate target.
Ganguly's 61-ball knock included eight hits to the fence, while Tendulkar hit five fours during his 86-ball unbeaten stay. (AFP Photo)
