Injured Sehwag, Harbhajan to return home

Indian opener Virender Sehwag and off spinner Harbhajan Singh will return home from Pakistan to recover from injury. Sehwag was ruled out of the third one-dayer against Pakistan on Monday due to a shoulder problem, while Harbhajan has not played in the series due to a finger injury. "Keeping in mind the volume of cricket in the near future, the team management, in consultation with the selectors, have decided the two players should return to India for rest and recovery," chief selector Kiran More said in a statement. India play England in a home series with the first Test due to start on March 1 in Nagpur. Mr More said Sehwag and Harbhajan should be fit for the England series. Meanwhile, Pakistan pacer Mohammad Sami has been called up to join the squad for the last two one-day internationals against India. Sami replaces fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, who was sent home to recover from an ankle injury, for the last two matches in Multan and Karachi.

India takes lead at Lahore, Series 2-1

MS Dhoni who came in after the fall of Mohammad Kaif and his attacking strokes put Pakistan on the back foot. The wicketkeeper batsman shared a good partnership with Yuvraj Singh, and contributed to an emphatic Indian win. Sachin Tendulkar played a magnificent knock of 95, but Abdul Razzaq put Pakistan back on track by dismissing the master. In the next over, Umar Gul got rid of new man Mohammad Kaif leg before and soon India found themselves at 190/5 from 190/3. MS Dhoni joined Yuvraj Singh in the middle. Pakistan bowlers were very much on top in the beginning, but a fine partnership between Sachin and Yuvraj kept the Indian hopes alive. The left hander hit his 22nd half century in ODIs. Rahul Dravid got out when the score was on 84. Although he was giving Sachin good company in the middle, Rahul Dravid never looked comfortable and as the asking rate was climbing higher, he was eventually run out by a direct throw from Umer Gul who was fielding at mid on. Yuvraj joined Sachin to keep the Indian hopes alive after they suffered early setbacks while chasing 289 runs. Chasing 289 for victory India got off to a disastrous start losing two wickets in quick succession and India was 12 for two.

The Venue

India Cricket Live Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore Gadaffi Stadium is named after the Libyan leader "Gadaffi", who was very popular in Pakistan during the '70s. Located in the historical City of Lahore, Gaddafi Stadium was completely renovated during 1995/96 for the 1996 World Cup. Designed by the famous architect - Nayyar Ali Dada - who modelled it along the Mughal School of red hand-laid brickwork and arches, the new stadium is completely covered with seating rather than concrete benches. All-new air-conditioned dressing rooms with VIP enclosures equipped with TV also were added. The lower portion under the stands has been enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. This was the first stadium in Pakistan to be equipped with modern flood-lights which have their own standby power generators. Modern facilities for the media have been provided. No other cricket ground in the world matches the spaciousness of the playing area of this stadium and that it has the largest green field. Gaddafi stadium hosted the final of the 1996 World Cup, which was watched by over 60,000 spectators.
