With India having won the first ever match between the two countries, the two sides met in the second Test, in Lucknow. It proved to be a historic moment for Pakistani cricket.
India who won the toss and decided to bat on a matting wicket. It was a major error of judgement as, despite opener Pankaj Roy making 30, they were bowled out for just 106. Fazal Mahmood, known for his proficiency on the mat, took 5-52 and Mahmood Hussain 3-35.
Pakistan then put themselves in the box seat by compiling 331, opener Nazar Mohammad carrying his bat with an undefeated 124, with useful support from Maqsood Ahmed, Hanif Mohammad and Zulfiqar Ahmed.
India gave a better account of themselves second time round, but they were still indebted to an unbeaten 61 from captain Lala Amarnath, helping them to 182. Fazal Mahmood took 7-42 this time to finish with match figures of 13-94.
Pakistan recorded their first ever Test victory, in only their second match, winning by an innings and 43 runs.
India did not have to wait long to avenge that defeat in the third Test match, in Bombay (as it was then known).
Pakistan batted after winning the toss, but were struggling at 60/6, until 81 from Waqar Hasan helped them finished on 186. With 4-40, Amarnath was the most successful of the Indian bowlers.
India were given a good start with the bat by openers Vinoo Mankad and Madhav Apte. Vijay Hazare and Polly Umrigar then came together and gave India the upper hand with a partnership of 183 for the fourth wicket. Umrigar fell for 102, while Hazare went on to make an unbeaten 146 before the decision was made to declare the innings at 387/4.
In their second innings, Hanif (96) and Waqar (65) shared a stand of 165 for the second wicket before both fell in quick succession. Their departure was the signal for a batting collapse, and only two other men made it into double figures as Pakistan were all out for 242. Mankad took 5-72 with the ball.
That left India needing just 42 to win, which they managed without losing a wicket.
