Only way is to attack and score at 3.5 plus and get 400 and make it a second innings shoot out and hope for a miracle.
 
SL might get to 400 eh.

We should just play for a draw. The bowling attack does not look capable of running through the sri lankan team on this pitch. Our bowlers must have bowled a record number of overs this series. Sl have really grinded them out big time

Our bowlers have toiled hard also losing the toss didn't help otherwise we've been decent
 
they have bowled there heart out and junaid may have saved a possible 400 score. I know its asking alot but our batsmen should bat out of their skins.

Is Sri Lanka playing for a draw or its just some really good tight bowling from Pakistan?

Bowling and the pitch. Its a really slow pitch. If a batsman gets his eye in it would be dufficult ti dislodge hia but scoring is equally diffucult.
 
A good powerful bowling side should have the capability to run through a team looking tuu just block and survive. This is why the South African bowling attack is the best in business, they actually get the batsman out rather than hoping for the batsmen to make mistakes

Pakistan needs to go for it

The Pak batsmen need to simply come-out all guns blazing!!!

The only two batsmen capable of the long grind is Misbah and Younis so it makes very little sense for the rest of them to tuk tuk into failure.

Say they go after the SL bowling and fail the worst that will happen is loose the series 0-2, which is already lost even if Pak pull of a draw!!

Hammer the SL bowlers and make sure SL have to bat again on the 4th day. Last innings just chase a set target, I know this will be a horrible 5th day pitch but just playing into submission will be just pathetic!!

Sa failed to get us out on the day 5 pitch in uae before and we werent trying to score. This is an absolutely slow phatta where there is nothing for the bowler of the batsman.
 
junaid performing again, his consistency could easily go under the radar because pak don't have any fast bowlers who can support him.
 
The pacer combined have 17 tests between them so just give them time only reason is Ajmal's insipidness

This is not tape ball cricket. Pakistan need to first try to match the first inning score and avoid a 2-0 loss which will result in a change in rankings.

Talha was pretty decent in this game. Showed more control compared to rahat.

Rankings means jack...I would rathar take 2-0 over 1-0. Our only aim should be to win the match otherwise next three days you will witness the pathetic cricket.

If they get a chance to bat :)))
 
first thing is first. We need to make about 400 runs. That will require a solid start from our openers and number 3. Plus we need to get it fast and then bowl them out. Impossible NO Hard YES!
