long long way to go....

but good fightback misbah and kamran

 

[Hash]

Both Misbah and Kamran have to make hundreds here.

One of them needs to go on and make a big one.......140-150+

 

[kablooee87]

Pakistan desperately need to comprehensively win another session (like the last one). If that happens then we can start entertaining thoughts of saving this match.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Players take field for the final session of the day.

 

[sohaibsyed]

the new ball is the big test

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

The second new ball is due in 5 overs. Would be interesting to see whether Kumble takes it or not.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

3 runs for Misbah... moves on to 76
