India level series with comfortable win RAWALPINDI, Feb 11 (Reuters) Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh hit half-centuries as India cruised to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the second one-day international on Saturday. India bowled out the home side for 265 in 49.2 overs and then scored 266 for three with 6.5 overs to spare to square the five-match series. It was India's first win of the tour having lost the test series and the first one-dayer. India's victory revolved around a rollicking start of 105 runs in 94 balls by Sehwag (67) and Sachin Tendulkar (42). Sehwag, who has struggled for form since scoring 254 in the first test in Lahore last month, was back to his best, belting 10 fours and a slashed six over point. Dravid made a well paced 56 from 61 balls and put on 118 with Singh, who hit an unbeaten 82, to seal victory. The Pakistan innings was lifted after a shaky start by Shoaib Malik (95) and Younis Khan (81). PAKISTAN S. Butt c Dhoni b Pathan 0 K. Akmal b Pathan 14 S. Malik run out 95 M.
