India Beats Pakistan in First Test - Hurray!

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly relied on their vast experience to put India on the threshold of a memorable victory against arch rivals Pakistan with the hosts needing just 32 runs on the final day to clinch the first Test.

India ended an action-packed fourth day at 171 for three in 54.5 overs when bad light dropped early curtains on proceeding.

Earlier, spurred on by a near capacity holiday crowd, the home team took little over 17 overs to polish off the remaining five wickets to bundle out Pakistan for 247, leaving them with a moderate target.
