**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[Woodster]

Pretty ill-adivsed attempted pull from Silva there. Rushed onto him and cramped him for room from around the wicket. Not what SL needed, effectively 3 for 6.

Should be curtains now.

I'm pakistani?? If I was lankan I would be pretty unbothered.

Oh Ok.

Generally,and this is just me,a team with 6 wickets down with a lead of 3 runs on the 4th day has a hard time not losing or drawing matches.

 

[Woodster]

Prasad not going to die wondering here. Come out playing his shots, and is clearly going to enjoy it while it lasts. Takes some of the pressure off Mathews and any thoughts he had of being the only one that can increase this lead.

 

[salman85]

Why are the spinners bowling?

Junaid was troubling Prasad.Misbah needs to bring the pacers back.

 

[Xuhaib]

Pakistan once again letting the lower order score useful runs time and again this happens and nothing seems to be getting down about it. 150 runs and its game on imo.

Lol Little Akmal.

 

[smash84]

finally a wicket....and catch let go

 

[Agent Nationaux]

That should shut him up for some time.

 

[smash84]

anything above 100 for the final innings would be tough for Pak in the 4th innings

 

[smash84]

lol.....Herath hitting a pretty good one first up to Ajmal

 

[ganeshran]

anything above 100 for the final innings would be tough for Pak in the 4th innings

100 is easily chaseable. Anything more than 175 could pose problems.

 

[smash84]

this is pakistan we are talking about and anything above 100 in the fourth innings always seems like a tall order (remember vs Aus last year even though pakistan made it but not without jitters).

Also I feel annoyed that Matthews should have been given lbw off Junaid early on in his innings

 

[smash84]

herath is playing really positively.

 

[hang on]

that kid mathews is going to be the next great player out of the subcontinent.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hurry up and make Mathews captain already.

 

[smash84]

SL 79/7.......these runs are crucial for SL

 

[smash84]

Hurry up and make Mathews captain already.

he will probably be much better than Dilshan

 

[smash84]

herath gone

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Clever bowling from Ajmal to remove Herath.
