Manchester: Amidst the frenzy for the India v Pakistan match at Old Trafford on Sunday, a touching gesture was witnessed by mid-day and it showed that peace still exists between the people of both nations. After Pakistan lost their top three batsmen, chasing India's 336-5, fans gave away their precious tickets to Indian fans Hemang Shah and his group of friends who then got to witness India's triumph from the stands without owning any tickets for the game.

Shah undertook a three-hour journey by car from his home in Newcastle in the hope of getting some tickets. "We came to the ground hoping that someone would help us with tickets. There were people selling tickets for 400 to 500 pounds (approximately Rs 35,000 to Rs 45,000).
