The tourists were in deep trouble at 142 for eight after India Test skipper Anil Kumble had claimed three for 38 and paceman Zaheer Khan two for 36.

But Misbah-ul-Haq (71 not out) and Mohammad Sami (20no) took them to 210 for eight at the close after a painstaking partnership.

Pakistan lost two early wickets when Zaheer dismissed both Salman Butt and Younus Khan.

Kumble then got in on the act by bowling Yasir Hameed with a googly.

The dismissals of Mohammad Yousuf, lbw to Sourav Ganguly, and captain Shoaib Malik for a duck - via a regulation outside edge through to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni off Munaf Patel - strengthened India's stranglehold.

Only Misbah put up any kind of resistance, with Kamran Akmal bowled between bat and pad by Kumble.

Harbhajan Singh had Sohail Tanvir lbw, and Shoaib Akhtar was bowled when he heaved wildly at Kumble.

After tea, Misbah hit one enormous six off Harbhajan in an innings otherwise characterised by patience and deftness.
