Final day as it happened

Pakistan beat India by nine wickets

Full scorecard

Pakistan cruised to a nine-wicket victory over India on day four of the second Test, to level the series.

With just 40 needed, the hosts lost Imran Farhat for nine but Taufeeq Umar and Yasir Hameed finished the job.

Danish Kaneria claimed three wickets in five balls, including a dubious stumping of Anil Kumble for a duck, to bowl India out for 241.

But Shoaib Akhtar did the early damage, dismissing Virender Sehwag for 90 and Irfan Pathan in the same over.

Innings break

0748: Kaneria bowls straight at new batsman Balaji and has him lbw first ball.
India 241 all out (Balaji 0)

0745: The TV umpire is called in to judge whether Kumble has avoided a stumping off Kaneria. Replays are difficult but he is given out, with his back foot off the ground and his front heal perhaps just not in contact behind the line. India 241-9 (Kumble 0)

0738: Agarkar pushes through the air just out of reach of a diving Kaneria for four through mid-off then hoicks a wrong 'un effortlessly over mid-on for a one-bounce boundary.

India 235-8 (Agarkar 36)

0724: Sami returns after a single over from Kaneria. Patel cuts from close to his body over the slip fielders for four.

0716: Kaneria joins the attack, bowling his looping leg-spin. Agarkar and Patel take two each to bring up the 50 partnership. Kaneria has a good appeal against Agarkar turned down.
