Pakistan dig deep for India draw

Second Test, Calcutta (day five, stumps): India 616-5 & 184-4 v Pakistan 456 & 214-4


The three-match series between India and Pakistan remains alive after the tourists held out for a draw on day five of the second Test in Calcutta.

Captains Anil Kumble and Younus Khan agreed to end the match early with Pakistan on 214-4, 131 short of their victory target amid fading light.

With Younus (107) and Mohammad Yousuf (42) slowing the run rate but looking assured at the crease, a draw beckoned.

India lead the series 1-0 with the final Test in Bangalore on Saturday.
