[NJamal]

10/0 after 2

 

[Bullet Drive]

Spin will be the key?

 

[Bullet Drive]

10-0

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to make sure we keep rotating the strike here!

I think it maybe tough to score off the spinners later so have to go after the new ball here.

Sri lankan team stretching before the start of play

 

[Bullet Drive]

12-0

 

[Misbah01]

They need to score 100 in 30 for loss of one or two wickets n then 4 rpo for next ten and then 5/5.5 in last 20 overs or so

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice picture there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

M.Hafeez. - the key.

 

[qamar84]

Mohammad Hafeez on strike now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Required RR 4.19 needed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not really sky is pretty much clear, so I reckon no chance of rain as per now

Thanks so much for this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

4.19 - pretty easy.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kulasekara is the one we need to get after here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That ball kept so low there. No bounce.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mohammad Hafeez 7 dot balls in a row.

 

[Misbah01]

Kulasekara is the one we need to get after here.

And randiv as well

 

[Amjid Javed]

4.19 - pretty easy.

1 boundary an over i guess!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Missed a full one there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 boundary an over i guess!

Or we could chase through singles.

+ We can easily chase 5 an over in the last 10 IMO.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka spinners will both bowl pretty much leg stump lines and will look to make batsmen play against the spin later!

 

[ItsMeK1]

by Hafeez

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Legal Eye]

Need to ensure we are safe enough not to lose before we go for the win. This is Test cricket after all

 

[talha3]

We have to be realistic, anything less than a Hafeez century and Pakistan can't chase this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty from Mohammad Hafeez

 

[Sledger]

Four more, good start by the openers.

 

[DW44]

by Hafeez...

 

[Bullet Drive]

by Hafeez

Your quicker than me!

 

[qamar84]

prof for

 

[Bullet Drive]

In top form Mohammad Hafeez is .

 

[Misbah01]

Pak can go all attack in last 10 overs if we need 60 odd runs with 6/7 wickets in hand

 

[Bullet Drive]

Too wide from Welly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Round the wicket is Welly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Welly is targeting the stumps.

 

[Misbah01]

Or we could chase through singles.

+ We can easily chase 5 an over in the last 10 IMO.

True.
