•  3-Nation series for Asian Test Championship in India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka, 1998-99

•  Pakistan v India in India, 1998-99 (2-Tests series)
This series was about much more than cricket. It was Pakistan's first Test series with India for nine years, and the first on Indian soil since 1986-87. Three previous attempts to organise a Pakistani tour of India in the 1990s had been aborted because of threats of disruption by right-wing Hindu fundamentalists....More

•  India v Pakistan in Pakistan, 1989-90 (4-Test series)
After series on series of umpiring controversies, neutral umpires - John Hampshire and John Holder - stood for the first time in the four Tests. There were still errors, but there was far less tension on the field. The Test series ended in stalemate. Pakistan had the better of the exchanges in the first two Tests but were unable to translate their advantage into victory, while India appeared happy to settle for the draw....More

•  Pakistan v India in India, 1986-87 (5-Test series)
A run of 11 successive draws between India and Pakistan was dramatically ended in the final Test in Bangalore. After four Tests on pitches so tame as to make draws almost certain from the start, the series decider was played on a minefield with the spinners wreaking havoc. It was a test of nerve, but after bowling Pakistan out for 116, Maninder Singh grabbing 7 for 27, India succumbed for 145 and then set 221, slid to a 16-run defeat....More

•  Pakistan v India in India, 1983-84 (3-Test series)
This tour was intended to start an annual exchange of short visits between the two countries but it was received with general indifference. Dogged by bad weather, the three Tests were all drawn, although India, the new world champions, won both ODIs, which, unlike the Tests, were well attended. Another limited-overs match, played for the Prime Minister's Fund under floodlights at an athletics stadium in New Delhi,....More

•  India v Pakistan in Pakistan, 1982-83 (6-Test series)

Added together Mudassar's 761 runs, Zaheer's 650 and Miandad's 594 constituted a record for the three top batsmen in any Test series....More

•  Pakistan v India in India, 1979-80 (5-Test series)
India gained revenge over much the same Pakistan side that had easily beaten then a year earlier in an often bitter six-Test series. The big difference was the emergence of Kapil Dev who finished with 32 wickets, as well an infusion of new players which gave them a far more aggressive feel in the field....More

•  India v Pakistan in Pakistan, 1978-79 (3-Test series)
After an 18-year gap, Pakistan gave India a warm welcome both on and off the field and the only real moment of tension came in the final one-day when Bishan Singh Bedi conceded a match. India seemed on course to win the game - and with it the series - after a barrage of bouncers from Sarfraz Nawaz went unpunished....More

•  Pakistan v India in India, 1960-61 (5-Test series)
Another series of draw, and with political as well as cricketing pride at stake, it was hardly surprising that neither captain was prepared to take any risks as not losing appeared the sole aim. Not only were all five Tests drawn but all 10 tours matches as well....More

•  India v Pakistan in Pakistan, 1954-55 (5-Test series) - ONLY FOUR-DAY TESTS
