Damn. But anyways a well played innings. Saved us from a tricky situation younis.

 

[attock]

Stupid shot that was

 

[imshally81]

copy shot of jayewardna against ajmal

 

[NeVerMind]

Russell Arnold sensing a collapse!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need to lead before the new ball.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This test is getting interesting

 

[insaftak]

Decent session this for Pakistan.

[Watsupdoc]

and tea it is

 

[JibranAnsari]

30 overs 87 runs. Younis a big loss.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan needs to get reasonable lead..

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should at least get a lead of 100

 

[Hassan0987]

Nice going this, need to step up in last session. Hope Misbah plays the way he did in the first Test

 

[shehzadd]

Misbah will go again for draw.
such a character. lol

 

[Areesh]

Russell Arnold sensing a collapse!

Ah russel arnold.

 

[shehzadd]

pakistan should at least get a lead of 100

lead of 100? wch strikerate?

 

[Areesh]

Looks like this match isn't going to be a draw.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tea, we need to bat all day tomorrow. Get a lead of 300 maybe and then try bowl them out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah Azhar Ali makes a century and Inshallah we win this test match.

 

[qamar84]

at this stage both side can win

 

[imshally81]

at this stage both side can win

how
we are in good position then SL....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to get in here and score some big runs and azhar needs to realize the team needs a big 100 from him!

Pakistan need a solid last session here! we cant given SL even a sniff here!

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 mins left, can't wait.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We can't lose another wicket by the end of today, maximum is one wicket we can lose.

Misbah will have to score at a strike rate of above 60 and Azhar inshallah will score his maiden 100.

 

[JibranAnsari]

how
we are in good position then SL....

Slightly better , but we can not fully claim it before eliminating the deficit nad the fact we might be chasing on a fifth day pitch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

182-3 after 65 overs.

 

[Hash]

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a lead by close.

These two are more than capable of going at 1 run per over for a session.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Slightly better , but we can not fully claim it before eliminating the deficit nad the fact we might be chasing on a fifth day pitch.

So we have to bat long into the morning of Day 4. Build a strong lead of 300 approximately and then bowl them out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah will have to score at above 60 strike rate and Azhar just carry on the way you are

 

[Bullet Drive]

Post Tea session starting NOW.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tony Greig commentating.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tony saying the game is in favor of us!

 

[Bullet Drive]

A lot of turn already so this pitch will be hard to bat on Day 5 so we need to bat till Lunch day 4

 

[Bullet Drive]

34 overs till close of play

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar Ali 58*(143)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mishbaaaaaaar

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rameez & Tony on commentary.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rameez asking Azhar to play a LOOONG innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lot of turn there, hard to bat here for both teams.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely from Azhar, down the track and 1 run.

 

[Boi]

We can't lose another wicket by the end of today, maximum is one wicket we can lose.

Misbah will have to score at a strike rate of above 60 and Azhar inshallah will score his maiden 100.

Make your mind up.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan's idea to pick 2 spinners was a brilliant one. If we bat till Lunch Day 4, the pitch will be spinning miles and we have to spinners to extract spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run there, good running from Azhar.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good single

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah leaving the ball, getting a feel for the pitch

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only 124 kph, easy!

 

[Bullet Drive]

He is bowling at 77 mph. Worse then Indians!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely driven from Misbah, not timed well though.

 

[Bullet Drive]

You don't really ever see Misbah playing a classical cover drive do you?

Mostly makes his runs against the spinners with his slog-sweep.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar trying to sweep.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar looks real positive and different against spinners today, used his feet. Used the sweep.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs there, Azhar on 62*
