Tremendous recovery by India (They ended the day at 365 for five)

Second Session Brief -- India 192 for four

Yuvraj and Sourav are doing exactly what Dhoni-Laxman did at Kotla in the 1st test. Accumulating runs without worrying too much about the situation and the circumstances.

In that match, Dhoni and Laxman had staged a tremendous recovery from 93 for five in India's first innings and that partnership had helped India better a modest Pak total. And today, just when it looked that India were in deep trouble at 65 for four at lunch after opting to bat, Sourav-Yuvraj unbeaten partnership of over hundred runs in the second session took the hosts to the position of relative safety at tea time.

Of course, a dropped chance and a missed run out of Yuvraj, when India had not reached even 100 runs, did not help the Pakistan cause. But the Indians won't mind for sure!

Still, the last thing Indians will do is to become complacent. Just one wicket can start a procession and hand over the initiative to Pakistan, as we have seen so often in the past.
