Pakistan lose the 2nd ODI

After a convincing win in the first ODI Pakistan lost the second ODI, equally convincingly.

Pakistan posted a seemingly reasonable total of 265, soon found themselves in trouble at 68 for 4. Shoaib Malik, who has been in fine form, coupled with Younis Khan to set up a base which resulted in a reasonable score. Pakistan should be disappointed with most of their batsmen who just didn't perform.

India, however, never seemed in distress. 105 for the first wicket, a solid 56 by Dravid, and then a scintillating 82 by Yuvraj all resulted in Pakistan losing the match in only 43 overs. The bowling was fairly innocuous also, with no one really rendering a solid performance.

At 1 and 1, an interesting series is shaping up.
