103 runs added after Akmal's wicket fell. Awesome, we'll still lose on this pitch IMO, but just awesome. Whatever the result maybe, I hope its hard fought.

As I mentioned to Prince EWS before, I am glad they had faith in Harris to keep him for this test. If you want a long term spinner in your side, you have to have faith in his abilities and back him on all pitches. It may or may not come off every time, but if you aren't committed to playing a spinner, you'll never have a spinner.
Harris is doing better than I thought he would in both series, and full credit to him.

I don't know about that. I am not sure Kaneria can get huge turn here, Harris is a different type of bowler.
As the tail enders showed, you can still play shots pretty easily here so SA IMO are clearly the favorites and should win.
Just hoping for a good contest.

Danish is a legspinner

Its not that simple. Kumble got less turn than Harris, as an example.

Thought that was out, but the it was going over the stumps in slow mo. Good decision.

How about Asif for Sehwag?

Yes but Kumble has never got big turn on his leg break.This is because he bowls with a very high action and puts over spin on the ball like Cameron White who I don't has ever bowled a leg spinner in his life.Kaneria will get alot of turn a he bowls with alower arm and that incooperates side spin on the ball meaning that it will turn sharply.

Not in a million yearsHow about Asif for Sehwag?
actaully Kumble isn't a big turner of the ball.. more topspinner like
Kaneria gives it a good rip

Interesting to see Pakistan struggling against an unremarkable left-arm finger spinner again, but of course the Panesar lover society will tell me that Pakistan are brilliant players of spin...

Smith Gone!!!.Huge wicket for Pakistan and if they can get rid of Kallis and Prince quickly they've got a glimmer of hope.Feel there's still going to be twists in this game.
