Easy test win for Pakistan
NZPA-ReuterFaisalabad, Pakistan Pakistan, spearheaded by another dazzling display from its captain, Imran Khan, coasted to an easy 10wieket victory over India in the third cricket test, at Faisalabad, to take a 2-0 lead in the six-test series. Pakistan, who amassed 652 in the first innings in reply to India’s 372, needed just a few minutes and seven runs to win the match after dismissing the Indians for 286 in the second innings. The match ended 20
minutes before tea on the fifth and final day when Mohsin Khan slashed Arun Lal to point to four. Earlier, Imran finished with five wickets for 82 runs for match figures of 11 for 182. This, coupled with his belligerent knock of 117 in Pakistan’s first innings, won him the Man of the Match award for the second time in a row. India’s unsung hero was its captain Sunil Gavaskar, who hit his twenty-sixth test century and earned a rare distinction of carrying his bat
through the innings with an undefeated 127. He needs three more centuries to equal Sir Donald Bradman’s record of 29 test hundreds. Pakistan won the second test at Karachi by an innings and 86 runs last month after the first teat at Lahore was drawn.
