First test match belonged to India.

1st day of this 2nd test match belonged to India and specially Jaffer - who might break several records as he goes past double century..

Welcome to 2nd India vs Pakistan test match 2nd day's live scorelines..

It's a 9am start in Kolkatta but the light is perfectly right. Wasim Jaffer has raised his 200 while Ganguly looks to settle himself at the crease of Eden Gardens.. his home ground but Ganguly has only an average of 24 so far..

India : 375 for 3. Jaffer : 202 (273) Ganguly 29 (46).

Wasim Jaffer out. on 202!

Would you believe - Sohail Tanvir got Dinesh Karthik yesterday off the first delivery he bowled and today's he's got the double centurian.

Laxman (the 281 man on same pitch) joins Ganguly.

Worst 'running between wickets pair' for India, ever - Laxman & Ganguly at the crease as Pakistan enjoys their best moment in this test match.

Sohail Tanvir is hitting the dead pitch hard, and extracting some seam movement. Shoaib Akhtar back for 2nd spell today & even Pak fielding looks imporved. In short - absorbing test match cricket in progress.. 1 hour into day 2.

India 389 for 4. Sourav Ganguly 33(65), Laxman 10(21). 98 overs bowled, 60 fours hit so far.. not one six!

Crouds have got their wish - Ganguly raises his 50!

The cheer we hear from Kolkatta spectators is 10 times the decibles we had for Jaffer's double ton.

Meanwhile, Pakistan slowing down the game as Laxman-Ganguly pair forgets singles & hitting fours. Danish Kaneria is the last trick Younis Khan's armour.

India 430 for 4. Laxman 34(44) with Ganguly 51 (73).

and.. umpires call lunch.

97 runs for India, losing Wasim Jaffer from 24.3 overs bowled from Pakistan. To elaborate a little - first hour belonged to Pakistan but Ganguly-Laxman have counter-attacked india out of any danger. Things look set for a wealthy first innings score for the home team!

India 449/4. VVS Laxman 41(55) & Sourav Ganguly 62(96) at the crease. Total 109 overs.

Play to resume at 1140hrs IST

Post lunch session in progress :

Ganguly reaches his best score at Eden Gardens (from 13 innings so far) as Yasir Hameed drops a not-so-easy chance off Shoaib. Pakistan seem to have come out with some plan, but wicketless bowlers aren't bending their backs enough.

India 460 for 4. Laxman 46(72) & Ganguly 68(106).

500 up for India. 510 for 4 from 120 overs so far. Ganguly 85(134) & Laxman 76(109) - the fouth 100 partnership for India in the innings after Jaffer-Dravid, Jaffer-Tendulkar & Jaffer-Ganguly. For those who don't know - Mohammad Sami has given away over 250 runs in the Indian Oil test series but hasn't picked up a wicket.

Nothing working for Pakistan here at Kolkatta.. as of now at least!

So, Sourav Ganguly betters his highest score at Eden gardens from 63 to 102.

103 runs for India in the session, 30 overs bowled. one wicket (Ganguly) for Pakistan to show their effort.

India 552 for 5. Dhoni9 (44) & Laxman 91(133).

Will India declare? what Total Anil Kumble is looking for?

Play to restart at 1400hrs IST.
