Pakistan continued to bat at a boring pace, with no sign of them looking to declare the innings.
Things got extremely monotonous but then the Indians decided to give MS Dhoni a bowl, he only bowled one over giving 13 runs of it.
Later on in the day when there were about 25 overs left in the game, the Indians decided to take the new ball, and the Zaheer show started.
He picked up Abdul Razzaq of his first ball of the new over caught easily at slips by Laxman. Then arrived the Shahid Khan Afridi, with the crowd on their feet expecting him to blast the bowlers, but soon he was caught behind for 1.
The next over Younis khan was caught leg before wicket by RP Singh who was delighted with the wicket.
Zaheer Khan bowled extremely well the next over to pick up Mohammad Asif, and was on a hat-trick with Kaneria at the wicket.
He was soon bowled with an excellent delivery from the left-armer who picked up his fourth wicket.
Pakistan finished at 490 for 8, with Inzimam and Malik not scheduled to bat.
Indians came on to bat with Afridi and the stand-in captain opening the bowling for pak.
It was seen that Shoaib Akhtar was asked to bowl by Younis khan but declined taking the new ball, and that was prominently seen because he was not seen wearing his 500 pound bowling shoes!
