India remain favourites to win their one-day series with Pakistan but Younis Khan's brilliant hundred - which set up Pakistan's series-levelling win in match two on Thursday - must have rocked their confidence and it's all to play for with three matches to go.
The home side will wonder how they let match two get away after they racked up 321-9 from their 50 overs. But Pakistan never panicked and judged their run-chase brilliantly to breathe life into the series.
India are still favourites for the series at 8/13 (1.61) while Pakistan are 6/5 (2.20).
It almost goes without saying, but Sachin Tendulkar and Younis Khan are the favourites for their respective team batting markets after their superb performances on Thursday.
Tendulkar is the 7/4 (2.75) favourite to be India's top series runscorer, with Gautam Gambhir next at 3/1, Yuvraj Singh 7/2 and Sourav Ganguly 5/1.
Younis Khan is the even-money favourite to top Pakistan's runscorers in the series, with Mohammad Yousuf 2/1 and Salman Butt 5/1.
