What a sweep. 150!!! for sanga there. what a batsman. Great work.

If this was england shezad would have had a few but against sanga it aint happening. :P :P

Even Younis uncle scored one. 150 on this ground equals 50 on good pitches.
 
Talha to bowl. I think misbah wants to make sure talha gets thrashed so badly that he wont play the next match.
 
this is real venomless bowling from talha and the shocker is all are attempted bouncers.
 
I reckon even Herath could potentially score a 50 here.

If Rehman can do it, anyone can.
 
If it goes like this then SL can even win this test. Imagine SL putting 650 and then Pakistan batting to save the test. Collapse can happen.

Pakistan needs to bowl out SL.
 
should try junaid now. Shezad and junaid can be a good combo. talha has been useless.

Possible . When pakistan bat , the pitch will start turning.
 
If Sri Lanka gets 650, Pakistan will be fighting in last two sessions to save the game.

lol 2 sessions? If they can't bat 2 sessions on this wicket, Pakistan deserve to have their Test status stripped from them.
 
No way to win this game, SL should grind the opposition into the dust.
 
Lanka need to up the ante now and look to take a big 150+ lead today

We know our legendary batting; they can crack under pressure on the most docile tracks like no other team in world cricket. Strange things have been known to happen on a worn out 5th day pitch...Herath could come into the equation

cmon junaid try to yorker. on flat tracks its either a yorker that will help you or reverse swing.
 
Wow he actually tried that. Should bowl like that now as back of length wont do anything.
 
Why did they remove Shezzy? Was watching the match for his bowling only. Oh well time to sleep now.
 
Can't believe Srilankans gave us this pitch for the opening test match of a series. :facepalm:
 
Too wide there. bad ball and :four why cant he pitch it up closer to the stumps. Now he will go back to short stuff.
 
52 overs left for the day. Will Sanga start smashing around, and give Lanka a lead of 200 to declare ?? :sanga


No :yk
 
Now I can see how Pakistan managed to score 450.

aka

Sri Lanka 400/3.

For a minute I thought we had genuinely improved our batting.

No way they'll get a result out of this, they should grind the Pakistani bowlers into the dust now.
 
Very poor fielding display here, should have had around 5-6 wickets gone by now if the fielding was a tad better

Would only work if there is some life in the second match pitch.

No point grinding them to dust if they don't push for a series win.

Doesn't hurt to try, this match is all but certain a draw, they might as well demoralize and tire the Pakistani bowlers ahead of the second.

PAkistan will bat for 5 days in next test match anyway. Incase you don't know, that pitch is even flatter.
 
I just waked up and Pakistan only managed 1 wicket? - lol just proves that I was right all along - match is boring.
