Needs to be a boring day for us not to lose this match
 
I fear we will be all out for 180. This is going to be tough for us to draw.

Funny discussions taking place on PTV Sports worth a watch.
 
We got to avoid the follow on first. Then just bat time.
If we don't avoid follow on its game over.
 
Sarfraz will be looking to hit while Shafiq to block, lets see if they can get us past 250.
 
Sarfraz 8 runs away from 1000 Test runs :) One good talent in Test cricket. Aggressive player. I am keeping a watch on him :inti
 
What happened there just now? Wow, that was close, a loss of concentration form the batter.
 
Sarfraz is gusty player. We need more like him in team

[MENTION=24024]cricbuzz[/MENTION]: Sarfraz loves the SL attack. His scores against them: 7, 74, 5, 48, 55, 52*, 103, 55 and now 50*. Goes past 1000 Test runs as well #SLvPAK

Shafiq although has stuck around well, still needs to be more positive. This a 4 day test match. We should play to win.

Currently we should think about saving it. We are 120 runs behind. If we end up going Srilanka a lead of 80runs and if they end up making 200+ in second innings, I don't think we can save the match then. Forget about winning.
 
Sarfraz in test is aggressive on his strengths, he play Herath very well and so are the seamer. Mess up all their plans. That has given breathing room to Pakistan. He has not done it once but many times.

We need mix of aggressors and Misbahs not all Misbah's [emoji6][emoji6]

Sarfraz makes case for batting one or two up, specially in Asia, because he plays spin very well.

Sr of 20 is just too low. It's one thing trying to save a game, but should score at at least 40.
 
Shafiq is not impressive, he does not have game plan against spin. Balls are missing, technique is lot to be desired.

Come on Asad. Need to improve your SR.

We need a lead of around 80 iA.

We can definitely win this game.
 
This is the exact situation [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] talks about. Here is when we need our tail to contribute to take this total to 300+

He is diff when has a positive mindset. This innings is negative. But still doing the job. Needs to make a ton.

Exactly, thanks.

If you look at this team, Wahab and Yasir are the only Test class bowlers.

It would be great if the two mediocre bowlers could bat well enough to convert 180-5 into 390 all out half an hour before the end of Day 4.

Because that would set up a push for victory.
 
Players like Sarfaraz and Wahab are the reason why i never give up on the Pakistani team and always have hope for the future. A throw back to the classic old fearless Pakistani way of playing the game.

Spot on
 
Looks like I will be staying up till Sehri:D
 
I am beginning to understand the importance of Shafiq as an anchor in test cricket.

Karachi making Pakistan proud right now.
 
Brilliant to see the Karachi streetfighters doing so well!!!!

Pak is missing a trick in ODI's. He should be batting in the middle order especially from overs 20 to 40 when the spinners are on.

That's pretty valid point, Sarfraz dominates spinners very well. He cannot slog like Akmal in death it can dominate in middle overs because of his range of shots and use of crease against spin
