One thing though.. You can't take anything away from YK. Dead or not, it requires skills, determination, grit, stamina to play this long, and score so many runs. Easy to loose your concentration.
 
When India cam to Pakistan the karachi wicket was the only saving grace. The two other pitches were flat as this one here.

I just dont get it, why do we have such flat wickets for international cricket but grassy wickets for domestic cricket. Its a point YK raised up as well. Its not that we dont know how to do it, its just that we dont have sporting wickets on purpose
 
Current partnership 144 runs, 40.2 overs, RR: 3.57 (Faisal Iqbal 42, Younis Khan 98)
 
162 balls to get this 100 fastest 100 from the innings for pakistan
 
hahha I called this Sangakara bowling. Juts shows how Srilanka feels about this now.
 
YK will hopefully be around 300-15 at close and then hopefully lay assualt on Laras test record!
 
Sangakarra onto bowl now Sri lanka getting desperate!
 
It might be a flat pitch, but you cannot take away anything from Younis's knock. Batting on any pitch against the spin duo and that too to save your first proper test match as captain is a tall ask.

Full marks for absorbing that pressure and leading from the front like he promised.
 
50 to Faisal Iqbal aka Bhanja. Well done, made the most of his opportunity!
 
Should just leave the ball from Sanga ... umpire will eventually give them as wides.
 
Well played Faisal on getting 50.

YK on 286*

Highest total by pakistani is 337 v West indies. (Hanif Muhammed)
 
Another nice drive by Bhanja ... definately is setting himself up for a permanent spot in the side for the next decade!
 
Poor captaincy by Jayawardena, why is he using part time bowlers ?
 
the match is a farce - its day 4 and both sides look like they have lost interest
YK isnt even playing for his triple and is playing care free cricket thats how pathetic this track and this match is

Younis Khan realy deserve a triple here :yk
come on !!!! almost there

Might as well bat on as long as he can, why shouldn't he, no chance of a result and these opportunities don't come very often.

He's given up, just hoping Pakistan declares now. Plus he's making Bhanja look like Bradman so we select him for the next test match! Smart move!
 
Waleed: "I don't understand why Jayawardene is not trying to bowl with Samaraweera... he has 348 first class wickets! Still he is being ignored and Sangakkara is being given a chance to bowl.. Strange!"

he's true samarweera bowled well in canada 20/20 tournament
 
Skipper on now!

8 Sri Lankan bowlers used!

whens the keeper going to bowl?
