2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata, 16-20 Mar 2005
Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 9.30am local time (4.00am GMT)
Hello and welcome to Wisdencricinfo's live coverage of the second
Test between India and Pakistan being held at Eden Gardens,
Kolkata.
Pakistan came back strongly to draw the first Test, thanks to a
brilliant partnership between Abdul Razzaq and the young wicket-
keeper/batsman Kamran Akmal.
If the first Test is anything to go by we should be in for a treat
during the next five days!
In five Tests here Pakistan have never lost to India, drawing on
four occasions, and pulling off a stunning come-from-behind win in
1999, when they were reduced to 26 for 6 on the first day, and
still managed to claw their way back.
Kolkata is famous for producing slow turners, but it appears that
there is some grass on the pitch here today, it is unlikely to be
as quick as the one in Mohali but surely not the usual dead track.
news from the middle is that India captain Sourav Ganguly has won
the toss and elected to bat first
Steve Bucknor will become the first umpire to stand in 100 Test
matches when he takes the field today! - what an achievement

“It means a lot to be the first umpire to reach this milestone of
100 matches because when I first started in the West Indies I
never dreamed I could get anywhere near that figure. " -
It’s a tremendous feeling, but I also know that it will easily be
achieved by the other younger umpires after me, with so much
international cricket now being played.” - Steve Bucknor
