Some very close calls for YK. Who would've thought that Rauf would be looking more confident than Younis this morning?

Rauf finally departs. Nice little contribution from him.

And here's MoYo's return to Test cricket!

If you can look past his eloquent english he speaks a lot of rubbish. Yesterday after Aamir took 2 wicket he called him a world class bowler and then today called Mendis a legendary bowler. Yeah both have potential but no need to jump the gun yet.

Pak seem to the first side to decode Mendis. Really seem to have the measure of him and play him with so much confidence. Surprising considering they way they front up against the likes of Paul Harris...

Yousuf closing in on his 24th test ton in only his 80th test. Remarkable.

i alsways say mendis is an easy bowler, no way near to murali or warne
it's the matter of time when people know what he is all about

Brilliant return from Yousuf. :)

I'd be pretty happy with 350 at this point. A 100 run lead would be ideal.

EDIT: D'oh. :(

Good old 90s style match. Very good strokes played, no bludgeoning, no upper cuts etc. Wicket is a real gem of a wicket. Since the stadium got submerged in sea water 6 years back, it's helping seamers more and more. But to test out the spin, Murali should've been there. Mendis is not a spinner. He cuts the ball instead. Ajmal was too quick through the air. Herath is good as gone. Mohammed Suraj (Suraj Randiv) would have been a real factor, as he is known to produce steep bounce of the pitch, with his over spun (i.e. more "forward" spin) off breaks.
