        for the first time in fourteen years, doesn't get bigger than
        this!
       mentally Pakistan should be on the back foot after their defeat in
        the ODI series.
       but this is a different ball game altogether, this is the start of
        the real test, the version of the game that separates the men from

        final match of the one-day series and Rahul Dravid will lead the
        team in his absence.

Match State: Stumps - Day 4

       Hello and welcome back to Multan for the live coverage of the final
        day, hour, minute, seconds ...
       just the last rites to be delivered here, India on the verge of a
        historic win
       weather should not be a problem unless someone upstairs decides to
        play with fire and water
       the pitch is holding together well, another detail which does not
        have any relevance now
       Yousuf Youhana proved his value but he did not get any support from
        the other players, one thing is for sure: whatever happens, he is
        going to go down fighting
       here comes the umpires
       followed by the Indian players
       huge cheers as both the batsmen come out
       Yousuf Youhana will take strike and it will be Anil Kumble to start
        the bowling attack
  75.1 Kumble to Yousuf Youhana, bye: FOUR, down the leg side, keeper
        misses it, long chase but that was not enough

        away
  75.3 Kumble to Yousuf Youhana, no run

  75.5 Kumble to Yousuf Youhana, no run, on the middle and leg, goes right
        back and defends well
  75.6 Kumble to Yousuf Youhana, one run, short delivery, pitched outside
        the leg stump and turning in, pulled away to the long leg region,
