Inzamam delighted to lead the way
Inzamam-ul-Haq celebrates his century in Bangalore
Inzamam-ul-Haq was delighted to lead from the front after his unbeaten 184 put Pakistan in a strong position in the final Test with India in Bangalore.

The captain became the fifth batsman to score a century in his 100th Test, as Pakistan recovered from 7-2 to 323-2.

He said: "The responsibility to show the way brought the best out of me.

"It was a special occasion which became super-special with a hundred. I was under pressure, but I knew runs would come once I saw off the new ball."

We aim to get 500-plus and hope the pitch takes turn on the last two days

Inzamam put on 316 with Younis Khan - a record partnership for any touring side in India to rally the tourists.

He wants his side to build on a good first day and push for a series-levelling victory.

"There is not much in it for the bowlers. So we aim to get 500-plus here and hope the pitch takes turn on the last two days," Inzamam added.

"It is a big achievement by Younis to score hundreds in successive Tests. I am happy the senior batsmen are showing the way.

"As a captain I had to lead from the front and I am happy that the first day belonged to us. We have four more days to go to force a win."
