Big session coming up , Pakistan need to make sure they do not loose more than one wicket this session.

[aukhan]

 

[SAfridi]

Nice 4 using his pace

 

[thivaakar]

Kiri disappears again , watch him post a comment when SL is on a lunch break

 

[aukhan]

herath getting ready to bowl.

 

[thivaakar]

Go to school kids, beating by your daddy ain't worth it.

 

[Justcrazy]

This session would be important , Lanka would look to get couple of wickets here quickly and restrict Pakistan to 350 - 360

 

[thivaakar]

Dj playing rock songs from 1970s

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a shot

 

[aukhan]

again

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership 116 so far

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad has golden opportunity here to improve his average

 

[Arsal_AK]

by Shafiq.Nicely done.

 

[m.shah]

Good shot

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

herath on, time for younis to transform into a vacuum cleaner

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath is on now , Lanka want breakthrough from him here.

 

[Sakss]

a 380 + total would be very good

 

[aukhan]

He will bowl plenty of overs today....

 

[SAfridi]

HUGE! BEAUTY! Six Six Six!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

shafiq transforming into afridi

 

[Arsal_AK]

. What a shot.

Shafiq is playing so well.

 

[aukhan]

Shafiq likes spinners.

 

[SAfridi]

shafiq transforming into afridi

Hahaha

 

[cricfan967]

Shafiq playing for an IPL contract

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

CHOTTO ON

 

[aukhan]

Edged but saved ...4 more.

 

[Yatoo]

Runs are coming. Which is a good sign

 

[m.shah]

Four

 

[Haz95]

Shafiq playin faster in this test than he does in odis... Not a very hard feat tho .
Never mind, he's booked for the next 10 tests now

 

[FreeBird]

In Australia when the ball rolls in the out field you see these heavenly white angelic seagulls fly off -

Now Sri Lanka is also an island but what you see in the out field? These demonic and satanic flocks of black crows all over the ground - why is that?

 

[Justcrazy]

290 / 4

Partnership 134 runs

 

[aukhan]

King Khan on 144*.

 

[FreeBird]

Salute to Shafiq, he is playing a selfless innings without worrying about a personal milestone of a century.
The plan is to score quick runs and he is bravely going after them !! Great job.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shafiq is getting close to a hundred here, needs to keep rotating the strike.

 

[uberkoen]

150 coming up from the legendary Younis Khan

100 for Shafiq.

nice work by the batsmen!

 

[aukhan]

Run rate is down now.

 

[Justcrazy]

cricinfo is down ?

 

[uberkoen]

cricinfo is down ?

No, its not.

 

[Shafi]

Younis Khan looks fragile and defensive.

 

[aukhan]

Rameez and Arnold both are very annoying.

 

[Justcrazy]

Once these two get the score past 350 , lanka would be under pressure

 

[uberkoen]

looks like its raining.

 

[uberkoen]

Younis Khan nearing his 150 that's why he's being cautious.

 

[m.shah]

Mathews is bowling tightly

 

[uberkoen]

I'd like to see us bat at least half the day today and get an additional 150 on the board.

 

[uberkoen]

I think with 450 on the board. Ajmal and Rehman can rip through the Sri Lankan batting lineup to set up a huge victory for us on the 4th day.

 

[Shafi]

Shafiq paid the price of defensive batting.

 

[aukhan]

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

why go defensive all of a sudden

 

[uberkoen]

Shafiq gone unfortunately.

 

[Shafi]

If they bat defensive like this they will end up under 350.

 

[hur rizvi]

Shafiq out, I hope rest of them add atleast 110 more to take us to 400, Ideally i would like 450

 

[Sakss]

That is OUT

 

[FreeBird]

Younis Khan looks fragile and defensive.

Rameez has a very potent commentators curse for Pak players (kaali zabaan), and in this game he is too slow to react to boundaries. Very dull and boring.


And all Sri Lankan commentators have a very peculiar accent of pronouncing "wicket" and "second"

Vikkatt - Sekkandd.

 

[Yatoo]

We are into the tail.
