India close in on Delhi victory

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly greet each other during India v Pakistan 1st Test match in Delhi Sunday.

DELHI, Nov 25 (BBC): India require just 32 more on the final day to win the first Test with Pakistan after closing day four at 171-3.
Sachin Tendulkar passed Allan Border to become the second highest Test scorer, and shared an unbroken 78 with Sourav Ganguly who hit eight fours in his 48.
It steadied India after the dangerous Shoaib Akhtar struck in the first over and later added two more scalps.
Pakistan resumed 167 ahead at 212-5 but added only 35 on the penultimate day, Ganguly with two wickets in an over.
The Pakistan sixth-wicket partnership had threatened to put India out of contention but the game continued to fluctuate as Kamran Akmal departed in the first full over of the morning.
Akmal was unable to control his drive and was comfortably caught off the outside edge by substitute fielder Yuvraj Singh.
After some brief resistance from Sohail Tanvir, Zaheer Khan collected his second wicket of the day when Harbhajan Singh took a composed catch running back towards square-leg.
Misbah-ul-Haq, who made his maiden Test fifty in the first innings, moved within five of another when he tried to advance down the wicket to Sourav Ganguly, surprisingly given the new ball in the middle of the 83rd over.
He mis-hit his lofted drive and Karthik ran back from mid-on to take an excellent catch.
The batsmen crossed and Mohammad Sami flicked the next ball for four to take the lead over 200, but with the final delivery of the over Sami played an ungainly swipe across the line and Wasim Jaffer made no mistake with the steepling chance at mid-wicket.
To complete the erratic collapse there was a farcical run-out. Kaneria pushed a delivery from Anil Kumble into the covers and had got halfway down the wicket in pursuit of a single before Shoaib Akhtar sent him back.
India 276 and 171 for 3 (Jaffer 53, Tendulkar 32*, Ganguly 48*, Akhtar 3-41) need another 32 runs to beat Pakistan 231 and 247 (Butt 67, Misbah 45, Kumble 3-68)
