Bangalore Test: India, Pak hold practice sessions

Bangalore:

Ahead of the third and final test match starting here on Saturday, the Indian and Pakistani teams held practice sessions under overcast skies at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

The players came in the afternoon for the nets and as it was drawing to a close, there were showers, forcing them indoors.

"The teams will come for practice tomorrow in the morning itself," a local organising official said.

India are leading 1-0 in the series.

Bangalore has been experiencing chilly weather since the last two days.

"Weather is likely to improve from tomorrow", said Director of Meteorology Department, G S Vijayaraghavan.

Meanwhile, police have virtually banned Indian and Pakistani players, staying in the team hotel, from "personal outings" without informing them, for security reasons.
