Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Pakistan in the driving seat after dominating Day 3

[Amjid Javed]

YK has been given a life in this inns as well, with our shockingly poor tail we need to ensure we get atleast one 100+ partnership here!

 

[The_KING]

Misbah with two s in a row

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hit a few sixes Misbah

 

[SL_Fan]

Lead well over 400 now. Game. Set. Match.

 

[honeybadger]

What is difference between Tuk Tuk & Poke Poke ???

Solidly defending and tentatively prodding.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

younis's avg exactly 54....congrats younis

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan should bat out today and make them field one more session tomorrow and declare after lunch. Bangladesh won't last even one session on this pitch.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Fell short.

Younus get a grip.

 

[zabalestmsm]

These two must play aggressively in this last session and declare by end of the day.

 

[JibranAnsari]

score 150 more.

BD will give us a tough fight in the last innings.

 

[Zeshan547]

Why bang bowled only 23 overs in this session, this very poor over rate. And they will surely can't bowl remaining 42 over in last session even including extended half hour.

 

[Zeshan547]

Need 150 more in next session so that we can set target of 600, mean next session will have atleast 35 over even though 42 overs are remaining. But we will need to score at atleast 6 per over in this last session which shouldn't be much problem considering dominant position of pak. So just give it wack because there is no use of tuk tuking now, it will only increase bangla chance of saving this match even though how remote that is. So get out or hit out.

 

[Justcrazy]

will play for his hundred here

 

[Shafi]

Misbah should not declare today. If BD plays well 2 days are good enough to score 500

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to start attacking here

 

[honeybadger]

Misbah should not declare today. If BD plays well 2 days are good enough to score 500

If Pakistan can't defend 500 odd runs on a crumbling pitch against Tamim Hackball and co.,they need to give up playing cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Wasted opportunity

 

[The_KING]

Younis

 

[Justcrazy]

gone

 

[The_KING]

He was looking good for a fifty or maybe another century. What a poor shot.

 

[honeybadger]

No 100 for Mr. Cricket.

 

[Shafi]

If Pakistan can't defend 500 odd runs on a crumbling pitch against Tamim Hackball and co.,they need to give up playing cricket.

With Junaid, Imran and Yasir in the side you will never know

 

[zabalestmsm]

Pathetic approach from the Pakistani batsmen. They should have played aggressively right from the start and declared by the end of the day. Now i feel they will bat out tomorrow's session as well. I hope this is not the case.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Follow on was better than playing defensively now.

 

[zabalestmsm]

And the scoreline of 107/4 is not good. No matter how much lead u have.

 

[BigBoy123]

Pathetic should have sent sarfi over asad

 

[Amjid Javed]

What a dogs dinner of a batting inns so far we are lucky we have such a big lead!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully misbah will keep things together here!

 

[FM87]

Follow on was better than playing defensively now.

Don't agree. Even a hundred runs lead can be disastrous if you're batting on a crumbling wicket on the fifth day of a test match. The decision of batting was correct. In spite of losing 4 wickets Pakistan is in a good position.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Misbah get a hundred here

 

[Stallion__]

First 'Umpire's Call' decision I have seen in this tour going Pakistan's way!

 

[Justcrazy]

36 more overs left.

 

[The_KING]

36 more overs left.

Plenty of overs left.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Should bat till an hour before lunch tomorrow and put BD in to chase 600. Would love to inflict a 300-400 run loss on these guys.

 

[desi_launda]

Sakib has bowled filth this series

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Follow on was better than playing defensively now.

Last 10 ovs 40/1 RR 4.00

 

[Amjid Javed]

35 Overs to go 123 runs need so we can declare

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 runs for misbah.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Last 10 ovs 40/1 RR 4.00

This is nothing. Must be 6 an over at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

24 runs partnership

 

[Zeshan547]

Baba g ko neend aa rahi hai,

 

[zabalestmsm]

Misbah's approach is good! Younus was also starting to change gears but got out. Others were too defensive and wasted time.

 

[Shafi]

Misbah always play under pressure. Only reliable batsman in crisis.

 

[m.shah]

131/4

 

[UpInTheAir]

I would like to see Bangladesh batting before the end of today. Bound to have some lapses of concentration after being on the feild all day

 

[Amjid Javed]

This is better, good positivity from both batsmen now

139/4

 

[Amjid Javed]

I would like to see Bangladesh batting before the end of today. Bound to have some lapses of concentration after being on the feild all day

Good idea but that means we need to speed up with scoring here!

 

[The_KING]

Shafiq

 

[UpInTheAir]

Good idea but that means we need to speed up with scoring here!

Gotta back ourselves to defend 500 at least.

 

[Shafi]

Why our playing rush shot!!! more than 2 days left. Cant really confident with our trundlers bowlers except Wahab

 

[honeybadger]

What a mess.

 

[Zeshan547]

Ideal situation for sir, but overall really poor batting by pak in this inning, just imagine in how much trouble we would have been if not that mammoth lead in 1st inning.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asad gone and Sirfraz in...

Lets hope our lower order wags here....

 

[Asif321]

beauty shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sirfraz off mark with 4...

 

[Ahson8]

Lol at Shafiq's shot

 

[desi_launda]

Lead 500

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gotta back ourselves to defend 500 at least.

I think we have a enough, the captain doesnt seem to think so.

 

[Justcrazy]

playing for his fifty !!!

 

[Shafi]

50 for Misbah!!!!!

 

[Asif321]

what are they playing for now ? 500 up already

 

[The_KING]

Another :50 for Mr Consistent. Please go make a hundred.

 

[Asif321]

i dont know why they are wasting time

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for misbah well played...

lead is 505..

 

[Zeshan547]

Only if misbah could have played this fast in ODIs Alas.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah gets a fifty

 

[Shafi]

playing for his fifty !!!

Did you see how Tamim and Imrul batted in Khulna? if they play same like this we can loose this match and then people like you will criticize him.

 

[UpInTheAir]

I think we have a enough, the captain doesnt seem to think so.

That second innings in the last test probably in the back of his mind, but this pitch doesn't seem as flat.

 

[The_KING]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Misbah has gone into quick scoring mode so we must be pushing towards some sort of target that he has in mind.

 

[Shafi]

Let Pakistan play today and declare tomorrow. Plenty of overs left.

 

[desi_launda]

Misbah

 

[honeybadger]

I sense a declaration coming.

 

[desi_launda]

Rohit Sharma vs this bowling attack should be fun

 

[Amjid Javed]

That second innings in the last test probably in the back of his mind, but this pitch doesn't seem as flat.

Hes starting to throw the bat around now so hopefully we will declare in this session and get bangladesh in tonight, this pitch has much more in it for spinners and fast bowlers through reverse swing

 

[Shafi]

Pitch still good for batting

 

[Zeshan547]

By way misbah playing bangla will purely be in for last hour or atleast 10 overs tonight. I can bet on it.

 

[JaDed]

Misbah plays quicker in tests than LOI so weird

 

[Amjid Javed]

4,6,4 love when misbah plays like this )

 

[The_KING]

Brilliant over from Misbah
