He had targeted Pakistan’s main bowler Umar Gul, it didn’t last long and got out to Wahab Riaz in 6th over Sehwah lbw by Riaz 34 in 25 ball , next come Goutam Gambhir ,he started slowly but steady but he also couldn’t get capitalize the opportunity and got out by soon, his contribution was 27. Then Virat Kohli comes in and he started build up a parternship with Sachin. Sachin was going slowly, he survive one LBW, this time UDRS saved him. Pitch was getting slower and slower and playing was seems difficult for the batsman. Sachin got few lives as well. In between Virat got out by Wahab again then Yuvi ohh got in veru first ball. Wahab strikes twice in two consecutive ball, stun silence in the crowd and pressure was on Indian batsman, Sachin got few more lives totally five live first time for scahin to get these many lives in a single match. 85 runs scored by Sachin and got out by Sahid Azmal cough by Afridi.
