Jaffer on song as Pakistan toil

---

KOLKATA, Nov 30 (BBC): Wasim Jaffer's unbeaten 192, the third best score in a Kolkata Test, put India in a dominant position on day one of the second Test against Pakistan.
Jaffer added 136 with Rahul Dravid (50) and 175 with Sachin Tendulkar (82) as India racked up 352-3 against a forlorn Pakistan side at a packed Eden Gardens.
Shoaib Akhtar started, but was clearly still suffering from flu and managed only nine overs of gentle pace.
Skipper Shoaib Malik missed out, unable to recover from an ankle injury.
He was replaced in the starting line-up by middle-order batsman Faisal Iqbal, while Younus Khan took over captaincy duties.
With their premier bowler rendered impotent, Pakistan were left with just three other bowling options - and the remaining trio struggled with an exhausting workload.
Left-arm seamer Sohail Tanvir had Dinesh Karthik caught in the slips from his first ball, but ended with 1-118 from 24 overs, resorting to innocuous spin late in the day.
Danish Kaneria had to bowl 30 overs, and was rewarded with the only other two wickets to fall, but one of those came courtesy of a poor decision by umpire Billy Doctrove.
Dravid, looking totally troubled, was given out caught behind off Kaneria, though no edge was detectable on any replays.
Kaneria's second strike, in which Tendulkar was bowled by a googly as he looked to drive through the covers, was a mini-triumph for Pakistan, which briefly silenced a typically noisy Calcutta crowd.
But one wicket in each session was not a good enough return for Pakistan, who started the second Test of three 1-0 down.
Jaffer hit Tanvir for four fours in an over before lunch, and continued to mete out the punishment in the middle session.
