Earlier in the morning today, India declared its second innings at 184/4 and set a victory target of 345 runs for the visitors. Pakistani batsmen played defensive cricket from the beginning today as they seemed more interested in saving the game rather than winning it given the overs left for them. Mohammad Younis remained not out on 107 and was ably supported by Mohammad Yousuf who contributed 43 and did not get out.
With India leading the three-match series 1-0, the two teams will now meet in Bangalore for third and final Test from Saturday.

IND v PAK, 2nd Test, day 1, Kolkatta : Jaffer puts Pakistan on back foot
Nov 30, 2007
Wasim Jaffer slammed a majestic unbeaten 192 as India took firm control of the second cricket Test against Pakistan by laying the foundation for a mammoth first innings total today.
The 29-year-old Jaffer notched up his fifth Test century as he stole the limelight with some breathtaking shots while Sachin Tendulkar (82) and Rahul Dravid (50) chipped in with notable contributions to steer the home team to a commanding 352 for three at close on the opening day. Sourav Ganguly (17) was giving Jaffer company when play was called off early due to bad light with 5.3 overs still remaining to be bowled.
Electing to bat, the Indians lost opener Dinesh Kaarthick (1) cheaply but the other batsmen made the most of the ideal batting track at the Eden Gardens to put the team in the driver's seat. Jaffer seemed to be in imperious form as he first added 136 runs with Dravid for the second wicket and then stitched 175 runs for the third wicket with Tendulkar against an insipid Pakistani bowling attack.

IND v PAK, 2nd Test, Kolkatta : India eye to wrap up series against injury-hit rivals
Nov 29, 2007
India will seek to clinch a Test series win against Pakistan on home soil after 28 years as they go into the second cricket Test here on Friday with their arch rivals grappling with fitness worries over some key players.
After losing the first Test by six wickets, the visitors have been laid low by a spate of injuries ahead of the crucial game at the Eden Gardens which they need to win to keep themselves afloat in the three-match series. While paceman Umar Gul has already been ruled out of the match, captain Shoiab Malik and temparamental fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar were doubtful starters for the game.
The Pakistan team management has decided to wait till Friday to decide on the playing eleven but indications are that the captain may not be fit enough to take the field. In case Malik is ruled out, Younis Khan will lead the team. The Indians, on the other hand, have no such problems and will hope to keep the momentum going in their bid to win the Test series as well.
If the Indians manage to win the match, it will be their first series win on home soil against their traditional rivals in 28 years -- the 2-0 win in 1979-80 being their last triumph. India team (from): Anil Kumble (c), MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, Wasim Jaffer, Dinesh Kaarthick, Murali Kartik, Zaheer Khan, VVS Laxman, Munaf Patel, Yuvraj Singh.
Pakistan team (from): Shoaib Malik (C), Younis Khan, Abdur Rehman, Danish Kaneria, Faisal Iqbal, Kamran Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Yousuf, Salman Butt, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul, Yasir Hameed.
