India beat Pakistan, India won by 51 runs

India win by 51 runs they level series 1-1.

Chasing 270, the openers started off well but Irfan Pathan picked up Imran Farhat in the 5th over and then came back in the 7th over of the innings to clean up Afridi and that double-blow put India on top.

With Afridi back in the hut, the bowlers started to take control of things, the spinners tightened the grip and Pakistan kept on losing wickets at regular intervals

Inzamam played like a champion, and his hard hitting tactics kept Pakistan in the hunt till the end but sadly he was 'run-out' at a crucial stage and that was the end of the chase.

Rahul Dravid gets the man of the match award for his glorious innings of 92 which helped India reach a big total, Inzamam-ul-Hag takes home the man of the series award for his exploits with the bat in both the matches

That's all we have for you today, hope you have enjoyed the coverage - until next time it's good bye from all of us here at Cricinfo.

Just when things were looking good for Pakistan this had to happen! there was a huge celebration after the finger went up - the way the Indian players celebrated that wicket shows how important it was for them to get rid of Inzi.

Pakistan nine down - India need just one more wrap this up.

dear oh dear! fulltoss on the stump and Anjum plays it away towards short midwicket, Inzi takes off for a single that was never there and Anjum sends him back - Dravid sprints across from midwicket, collects the ball and then run all the way to the stumps at the bowler's end and whips off the bails - what a terrible mix-up!
