Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd Test | July 3-7 | Pallekele | Day 4

[marlonbrowndo]

These 2 are looking good and mathews is defensive now. Thats great for us. Also asad and sarfraz are very much in form. I hope misbah regains form and plays a captains knock. I wouldnt mind sending shafiq after this

 

[Justcrazy]

306 runs required

 

[Bullet Drive]

Either way, it's too soon.

Not really. I think he's batting beautifully.

 

[Pete Rose]

30* off 39 for YK. He's playing to win. Shaan offering good support.

Dean jones called it earlier. That Yk looks like he wants to put the foot down.
Rasping cut shot by shaan

Shafiq will bat but injured. So running will be tough for him.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Not really. I think he's batting beautifully.

Yes, he is so far.

 

[Belawal2014]

Hmmmm, gone more quiet since Shaan is scoring runs......... wonder why

Bro, why do act like the whole world is against him? Why can't you accept that criticism is different than hate.

Dean is quality. He is no doubt the best analyst of the game to me.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq will bat but injured. So running will be tough for him.

Then send misbah for now because he was able to run well yesterday. Shafiq might be better tomorrow if we dont lose wickets

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well he gets so much hate its unbelievable. I wish you could see my Twitter mentions.

 

[Man Of Steel]

129 more for today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shaans father and uncle black mailed and threatened Sri Lankan bowlers into letting him score 39 today.

 

[PCP_1]

Masood looking very good

 

[Pete Rose]

Run rate getting close to 3.5
This is a pretty innocuous bowling attack.

 

[Man Of Steel]

125* more.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I actually got Shaan Masood a bat contract with Mongoose. Surprised why he is using MB bat.

Shaan looks injured. He is actually the most fit player in whole of Pakistan. Also Shaans father and Shaans uncle threatened PCB to post an article saying Shaan is most fittest player in Pakistan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Really hope shan isnt in too much trouble

 

[Pete Rose]

I think Ahmed Shehzad missed out today. And for sure azhar Ali as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

"Shan Masood has played really well. Sri Lanka dont have an answer for him" - Dean Jones

 

[Pete Rose]

Ah Pakistani youngsters: fit to score up to 30

 

[Man Of Steel]

Shaans father and uncle black mailed and threatened Sri Lankan bowlers into letting him score 39 today.

WTH? can you calm down for a second?

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Shaans father and uncle black mailed and threatened Sri Lankan bowlers into letting him score 39 today.

hahah BTW PPers are too biased. They only want SHan Masood to fail because they want Sami Aslam, Babar Azam in the team

 

[Pete Rose]

Sri Lanka need to bring back prasad. This break helping Sri Lanka

 

[Fineline]

I actually got Shaan Masood a bat contract with Mongoose. Surprised why he is using MB bat.

U got him bat contract?Really?

 

[Bullet Drive]

No more wickets today. 1 the very MOST! & we will win IA

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Prasad is the only one im afraid of

 

[Fineline]

I think Ahmed Shehzad missed out today. And for sure azhar Ali as well.

Shehzad misses out always.

 

[Pete Rose]

Critical spell for both sides

 

[Justcrazy]

Masood needs to concentrate

 

[Pete Rose]

Shehzad misses out always.

By that I mean a flat pitch and innocuous bowling. Unfortunately for him Lakmal has bowled his best three balls of his spell to him for the second innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Shaan concentrate

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep wickets in hand here.

 

[PCP_1]

Wow elephants look cool.

Yeah, still fitter than most of our players.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

last ten overs 52 runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Deano can go and speak to Shaan.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Pitch has gone absolutely flat, Optimum time for YK to score his 30th ton today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yeah, still fitter than most of our players.

#goodone

 

[Jabo]

Hope Shan does well

Doesn't get a lot of support on here

 

[Belawal2014]

Dean Jones, when he speaks, you listen.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dean Jones on Shaan Masood

"Pakistan just keep producing these talented kids"

"Shan has played really well, Sri Lanka don't have an answer for him"

But PP knows more then Dean Jones.

 

[Fineline]

By that I mean a flat pitch and innocuous bowling. Unfortunately for him Lakmal has bowled his best three balls of his spell to him for the second innings.

Yup!Shehzad had his chance but missed out.Now his place might be in danger.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I still think Shaan will struggle vs off spinner.

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes please more off spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

SL bottling it.

Under 300 to win.

 

[Pete Rose]

No Herath.

 

[Fineline]

Pitch has turned flat when we needed it to be.Finally some luck goes our way.

 

[naveed4687]

Less than 300 now

 

[Pete Rose]

Russel Arnold and Bazid would be entertaining at this stage.

 

[Bullet Drive]

45*

"Pakistan playing Kaushal with a toothpick" - Dean Jones hahaha

 

[Bullet Drive]

Seems only way Sri Lanka can pick up a wicket will be through Ramiz Raja's commentary.

 

[naveed4687]

Brilliant idea from younis to attack off spinner, he looks very flat now

 

[Fineline]

Shan has fought his way out it seems.

 

[PCP_1]

Masood to get his century before close of play today

 

[walashi]

masood on 48*

 

[Bullet Drive]

SL are losing the plot here.

We will chase this unless we lose more then 1 wicket today

 

[Pete Rose]

If we get close, a lot of us owe a bit of respect to Imran Khan.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Masood playing well

 

[Bullet Drive]

If YK scores ton. Will have most tons in 4th innings evaaaa

 

[MRSN]

Last 10 ovs 58/0 RR 5.80

Wicket must be flat. No swing either.

 

[naveed4687]

As much as I hated it before I must admit Test Cricket is "Fascinating"

 

[Bullet Drive]

48* come on.

 

[Pete Rose]

Sri Lanka bowling short of good length. Need to pitch it up further. They have a huge score to defend.

 

[#GreenRoars]

YK 3rd best avg in 4th Innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Without any risk. 6 RPO in last 10

 

[Fineline]

If we get close, a lot of us owe a bit of respect to Imran Khan.

Who doesn't respect Imran Khan the great!

 

[#GreenRoars]

As much as I hated it before I must admit Test Cricket is "Fascinating"

Test cricket is always wonderful.

 

[Justcrazy]

287 more required

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Happy for Masood. Umer Amin deserves a shot next after he scored well against Sri Lanka as well

 

[Fineline]

Last 10 ovs 58/0 RR 5.80
Wicket must be flat. No swing either.

You must be hoping Misbah doesn't score na. .No offence just a joke.

 

[Pete Rose]

Kausal bowling a lot of filth

 

[Fineline]

As much as I hated it before I must admit Test Cricket is "Fascinating"

And specially when Pak is playing.

 

[Statsman]

Another hundred runs without losing more than 2 wickets and the game will be in Pakistan's pocket.

 

[naveed4687]

And specially when Pak is playing.

Yup, true

 

[uberkoen]

Only 283 runs to go!

 

[Belawal2014]

Well played Shan, the next 50 are for the team.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Good stuff Masood

 

[#GreenRoars]

50 for Masood, i hope he will convert this fifty into century

 

[Bullet Drive]

This game is ours. No more wickets. Only Pradeep will cause us problems me thinks

 

[PCP_1]

Shaan should be inducted into the ODIs too on current form

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only rain will ruin us now.
