[Shakil_pkcricket]

good fight back by Pakistan but the job is not finished yet considering the batting talent of our Wkkpeer and bowlers.

 

[Fawad2010]

cant afford to have another batsman out in this session. Go on Asad make a century on debut!

 

[Noork85]

Somebody from the saffers said 230/ao

 

[cricfan4ever]

165 more to get to avoid follow on, 6 wickets in hand...that should be our only target right now...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Basically its down to these two guys to score a hundred a piece of i think Pakistan will miss the follow on and will be in big trouble.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I hope these two are still batting at close of Play!

 

[hur rizvi]

All depends on these two ....
