**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[Flem274*]

The current NZ/Zim pitch is terrible.

 

[Himannv]

Wickets tumbling all over. Not convinced that Kulasekara was the right player to come into the team here.

 

[Athlai]

C'arn Kashual!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Huge collapse, the go slow worked then.

 

[Xuhaib]

SL has been terribad today not that its bothering me.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Two wrongs don't make a right mono.

If Sri Lanka go at this pace then surely it's going to be a draw

 

[Howe_zat]

Really should have turned their start into 500+, disappointing stuff. Still, 400 odd in the first dig is not be dismissed. Can still be enough to take control of the game - Pakistan's batting isn't what you'd call reliable.

 

[Flem274*]

400+ is fine imo. It's going to be a tough job, even if the attack is sub par. Will still take them a while to catch up, if they do manage to catch up.

Herath playing a valuable knock here.

 

[Athlai]

Declare at 389 imo.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I hope that this isn't a Pakistani collapse.

 

[smash84]

35/2 at the close of play and the wicket beginning to take a lot of spin. Doesn't look to good for Pak

 

[Xuhaib]

haha...yeah don't like the look of this law of averages say Pakistan is due a collapse the dropped catches of the first test may come back to haunt Pakistan.

 

[smash84]

the dropped catches always come back to bite Pakistan in the arse

 

[smash84]

121/2 so far.......if Pakistan bat out the day......a draw would seem quite possible.....

I am content to have the series in the bag....doesn't matter if we don't climb the rankings yet

 

[Howe_zat]

Draw has probably moved towards the favourite after than session. Pakistan will probably need around 300-350 to feel reasonably safe, and if that's the case they should be pretty pleased with their top order this series.

Last night there was a distinct possibility of them getting bowled out for under 200, which would have almost certainly levelled the series.

Nice stuff by Azhar and Younis here.Screw the runrate.Just don't lose the game.

The more i watch Azhar,the more i like him.WAG.Gem of a test match player.

 

[smash84]

Azhar seems to be the best of the new lot (batsmen).....by far

 

[nsniks]

Azhar seems to be the best of the new lot (batsmen).....by far
