The fans finally packed the stadium waiting for their home town batting maestro to finally make his hundredth ton. Tendulkar did not disappoint with an aggressive fifty, which had the crowd cheering for his every run.
However, the first session also saw milestone reached by veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, who became the second player to make 13000 runs in the pinnacle format of the game. He was totally in control of his innings, playing each ball on its merit and consequently reaching
to yet another half-century.
After sharing a 71-run second wicket stand with Gambhir, who also reached to his half-century before getting out off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233, The Wall then piled on further misery for the tourists by sharing a 86-run stand with Tendulkar.
The Little Master was greeted with the biggest roar of the day when he came out to bat and kept his nerve to smash four boundaries and a six to reach to yet another score of fifty. However, the expectancy from the veteran remains as high as ever, where fans
still eagerly pray for him to reach to the elusive ton, which has so far, eluded him on the series.
In the meantime, Dravid fell after attempting a late cut off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804; with the ball did enough to clip the off-stump bails. The 38-year-old departed after making 82, which included 11 boundaries.
This brought another inform player, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 to the crease who was lucky to escape a leading edge which fell in no man’s land. The Men In Blue currently have posted 266 for 3, however plenty remains to be done after the tourists posted a mammoth 590 on
the board.
The Windies earlier in the day opted to bat after resuming on 575 for 9. After a few entertaining minutes from the last pairing, tail-ender, Devendra Bishoo was finally cleaned up by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, who completed his second five-wicket haul of the series.
