I'd like Anand to win too, but it's premature at this stage to say Kramnik is now lost.
Although, the match may be for Kramnik. Two down and we're halfway through the match after this game.

Anand might just win this match... with so much pressure on Kramnik and time trouble (again!)

Yes it would and it might happen, no question White is much better here.

Kramnik will have to fight to draw at this point if Anand stays cool.

Not sure about this position, Yasser said he played Bd2, but the screen shows Bc3??

Bd2 is correct... as Bc3 is a Blunder. But, no new moves on playchess now (again)

25. Bc3 Nexc3
26. bxc3 Rxc3
27. g5 Rxa3

White losing 2 pawns.
