Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Day 5 | Sharjah | 7/11/11

[Bullet Drive]

Good ball there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Take Gul off though, Hafeez should bowl.

 

[Misbah01]

Ajmal for another 5fer???

 

[Bullet Drive]

Herath leaving balls, means SL are defensive.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal for another 5fer???

Inshallah, I hope he does.

DECLARED.

HE CAN'T NOW

 

[Rana]

Looks tough

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 an over need.

4.81 needed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

181-6 dec

 

[NJamal]

255 in 61 overs, Pakistan should go after the target. But knowing the defensive approach of Misbah it is impossible.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sri Lanka have declared. I have no clue what the thinking was when they came out to bat today. They've wasted about 25 minutes, and will lose two more overs for the change of innings.

 

[qamar84]

254 runs neede in 61 overs notn possible for me but lossing this test is a possiblity

 

[spoiled]

declared

 

[Pak_Jazba]

They should go for the win only till the fall of 2 wickets.
Pitch ain't doing much even under overcast conditions.

 

[JibranAnsari]

why were these 17 runs important?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez and Taufeeq coming out to bat.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq has been dissapointing after the first innings,

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rameez & Russell.

 

[ItsMeK1]

Umpires are back in ground

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistans plan will be for Hafeez to have a go and see if we can go after this.

Otherwise we should play for the draw and a series win!

Hopefully Hafeez will get us off to a flyer!

 

[talha3]

This is what SL were thinking...

By scoring those extra runs with the loss of time, they have reduced their chances of winning by about 10%, but have reduced Pakistan's chance of winning by at least 30% IMO.

 

[spoiled]

pakistan can not chase this target in an Odi let alone a test match

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will Pakistan chase the target?

 

[Misbah01]

Its only 4 rpo, hafeez,younis and shafiq should attack

 

[Bullet Drive]

Proffesor on strike.

 

[Sledger]

Go for the win, please!

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 an over only needed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah we win.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs to Hafeez.

 

[Sledger]

2 runs.

 

[Alamgeer]

Hafeez can do that.His wicket is the key.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is the key for us.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Go for the win, please!

All depends on Hafeez and him staying in for atleast one session!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Blocked, good ball.

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez off the mark with a couple

 

[talha3]

I think they should go for it at least till Hafeez gets out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

there was never a chance of pakistan chasing 238 in 90 overs ,let alone in 70 overs. Srilanka are very defensive. They might prove me wrong by wining.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is the danger man. Only 5 an over needed. Already got 2.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another great ball.

 

[spoiled]

ramiz always talking it up

chase chase..all three matches

and pakistan go totally opposite way

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq will make us draw, watch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[ItsMeK1]

 

[talha3]

Hafeez showing early intent.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan going for the chase.

 

[NJamal]

by Hafeez

 

[Britstani]

4

 

[Sledger]

Prof goes up and over for four - good intent.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If pakistan get off to a flyer then Sri lanka will soon go on the defensive!

Really dont understand why they even came out to bat today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Left there. Pakistan going for the win inshallah. - 6 off the first over.

 

[HumorMe]

pakistan can not chase this target in an Odi let alone a test match

puh-lease! pakistan has not played that badly in this series, save this test. i think they have a chance!

 

[Britstani]

Lets hope they prove us all wrong after the 1st test performance!

GO for the WIN pleaseeeeee

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run to Hafeez there. 7 off the first over. 5 needed.

 

[talha3]

7 off the first over. Hafeez keeps strike

 

[NJamal]

7/0 after 1 over

 

[Bullet Drive]

This will be a great test match inshallah and we win inshallah

 

[velu]

I really dont think SL can take 10 wickets in 60 overs..
Draw written all over

 

[Sledger]

7 off the first. Hafeez keeps strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez keeps strike..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single to M.Hafeez.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq please don't act so defensive. He must go at a strike rate of 50+

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really hope we give this a good go here!

Pak 7/0

 

[Bullet Drive]

He just left a wide half volley

 

[Bullet Drive]

8/0

 

[talha3]

Taufeeq might not show that much intent. This is his last chance to get a good score after failing ever since that double ton.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Eurosport show the presentation.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 more dot balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

8-0. 255 to win.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single to Taufeeq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

M.Hafeez. on strike now.

 

[talha3]

Taufeeq off the mark.

 

[Bullet Drive]

9-0. Good start.

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Can't go for it. The SLs will just bowl negatively. :/

 

[Bullet Drive]

Top shot, 1 run M.Hafeez. Fielded well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

M.Hafeez. - could have gone for

 

[Sledger]

Good fielding, just one.

 

[talha3]

Shot from Hafeez! IMO this chase will all depend on him.

 

[NJamal]

Welagedra stopped a certain four.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq on strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dot ball from Taufeeq there.
