Living off his 2013 form sadly, ****e for a long time now.

Don't think Imran Khan is anything special, but wasn't awful when given a chance last year, should have played this test.

Rahat Ali is in for the next test, so hopefully he plays alongside Imran.

Really if Rahat was fit and nobody is sure if he was for this test, he should have been in the squad. Really promising test bowler.

Just can't catch anything.

Sl chipping away at the pakistan batting. Not looking as good for them as it was when misbah came in. 102 for 5 now. Need to bat out until at least half of first session tomorrow for pak to save this

Good job by Azhar. Have to say Pakistan's batting is quite good.

lol so much time left today, if Pakistan get about 250-280 on the board I think they could have a go at winning this

also Sarfraz is the perfect guy for scoring quick runs and counterattacking

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

another firing knock from sarfraz will set this up but he can't be too aggressive here, can he?

well he can always settle in first, azhar's still there.

if they run well between the wickets then they can quickly put pressure back on SL.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

azhar ali tailor made for soaking up pressure

second after YK to face 200 deliveries most by pakistani

280?

You must be kidding. 225 looks a tall order from here

 

[Antihippy]

Did dean jones just say that people who bowled bouncers should be no-balled?

Dhammika WAG

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

azhar should gear up now

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhammika WAG

Wooo again. Hope he gets 7 fer.

 

[Stapel]

280?

I figured 275 would be 50/50 too. If Pakistan can get 350 (seems fair to get from 303/7, I guess) in the 3rd innings, 225 seems very much doable in the 4th, not?

Dhammika WAG

Imagine living in a world where people did not like him.

 

[Antihippy]

Didn't dhammika average around 70 before his 5fer in england?

Yeah but you were expecting too much from the lower order which has been exposed now

 

[OverratedSanity]

Close to 60 I think. He's been honest to god actually good since then. Has produced some very good new ball bursts.

 

[Stapel]

Got me there.

Anyway, it's all a moot point. SL will have to chase 150. Which really should be easy.

 

[Antihippy]

Arguably the most improved test bowler in awhile?

I haven't seen him much before that spell in england but what I've since then has been pretty damn good honestly.
