Scorecard

For the second time in the series Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq elected to bat on what is largely viewed as another nightmare of a pitch for the bowlers, in Faisalabad.

The Indian team, as captain Rahul Dravid [Images] explained, decided to "be positive" and included five bowlers for the second Test against Pakistan at the Iqbal stadium on Saturday.

Sourav Ganguly [Images] was dropped to accomodate the fifth seamer -- Rudra Pratap Singh, while Ajit Agarkar [Images] made way for the third left-arm seamer in the team, Zaheer Khan [Images].

Dravid would thus be opening in the second Test too, after piling a 410-run first-wicket partnership with Virender Sehwag [Images] in Lahore [Images].

Ths hosts dropped their only wicket-taker in the first Test in Lahore, Naved-ul Hasan Rana, and Mohammed Sami to include Mohammed Asif and Abdul Razzaq [Images].
