[honeybadger]

A maiden from Junaid , praise the Lord.

 

[Slog]

Haha sorry buddy. Staying up for Sehri so I'm running on like 3 hours of sleep

haha just messing with yaa no worries

the match is getting me frustrated ahhh

 

[UpInTheAir]

Can someone please replace Russel Arnold in the commentary box?

I enjoy his awkwardness

 

[Slog]

all those complaining abt the commentary should think abt the commentnary in the Bangla series

this will automatically begin to sound better

 

[UpInTheAir]

The balls reversing at least. Wicket will come. Ramiz is a cricket noob.

Fair enough, but the off-topic ramblings get pretty stretched out.

Ramiz finally in. Alhamdulillah.

 

[uberkoen]

Man our bowling attack is so timid. This wouldn't frighten the likes of Namibia.

 

[honeybadger]

Karunaratne avg per inning :

I. 25.37
II. 21.25
III. 49.00
IV. 50.25

He is reverse Sehwag in making.

71 overs left for the day

 

[imshally81]

[Da_Future_Knick]

Talk nah uberkoen.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wahabbbbbbbbbb !! Go team Green!!!!

 

[imshally81]

Cha gia wahab

 

[uberkoen]

There it is! Told you it was coming!

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[uberkoen]

If only Junaid could support. I don't understand why we are continuing to play him. He's miserable. Really needs to get his act together or get lost.

 

[#GreenRoars]

4 down

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

147 KPH from Wahab

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Wahab is clocking 145+ every ball it seems

 

[Statsman]

SL going into a shell, will make them lose this one.

 

[Justcrazy]

68 more overs left.

 

[Square Drive]

One more wicket before lunch and this game is ours, iA!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Sri Lanka not looking to score...which is great for Pakistan.

 

[taqi]

one more wicket before lunch will do great

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to get one more quick here.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Wahab bowling wicket taking balls every over

 

[uberkoen]

I have a feeling Matthews will bat himself into a hole.

 

[imshally81]

Bach gia

 

[Belawal2014]

EDGE! Damn.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Tough chance but we needed that wicket man

 

[UpInTheAir]

Ramiz now talking about attacking, and before about containing... I think he enjoys vacationing around the world more.

 

[Square Drive]

4 wides :/

 

[imshally81]

Sikandar bakht who? The local one?

 

[Justcrazy]

27 runs lead , Pakistan need a super spell somewhere

 

[imshally81]

Lunch

 

[saeedhk]

Poor captaincy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 27 runs with 6 wickets remaining


Lunch

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope junaid may give some support to Wahab after lunch

 

[Mrhandsome]

Junaid is terrible

 

[walashi]

66 overs left for the day

 

[rollingstoned]

IT will be somethingif Pakistan wins after seeing how badly Junaid has sucked in this game, if he was bowling better they'd already have 1 or 2 more wickets.

 

[Neferpitou]

Atrocious captaincy from Misbah throughout the first session.

 

[Naim]

feeling sad for wahab. Today is last day of match. And he is giving his 200%. And he is only fast bowler in the team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pakistan clearly in the driver's seat.

 

[uberkoen]

When do we get back from lunch? This is getting too long.

 

[imshally81]

Not out for me

 

[walashi]

Looks like it missed the inside edge

 

[adarsh_bang]

Looks like it be a draw but a 'psychological' win for Pakistan

 

[imshally81]

My God

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yasir took Mathews,

 

[adarsh_bang]

Not watching it live, is it out or not?

 

[#GreenRoars]

strange decision though

 

[imshally81]

Anyways... Out

 

[Logical]

That wasn't out if you have eyes.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wohoo!! Stays with on-field call !! Seems a possible rough decision but we'll take it

 

[adarsh_bang]

OUT! what a strike!
Well done Yasir, disappointed in Mathews.. He's better than this.

 

[adarsh_bang]

So effectively Lanka are 27/5 with atleast 55 overs of play to go. Pakistan have played superbly well.

 

[Logical]

OUT! what a strike!
Well done Yasir, disappointed in Mathews.. He's better than this.

He wasn't out

 

[Red Devil]

He wasn't out

Was there enough evidence to overturn the decision?

 

[honeybadger]

Maybe they will invest in a snicko next time.

 

[imshally81]

3rd umpire has not clear evidence to rollback field umpire decision.. That why field umpire decision stand in the end... I think

 

[adarsh_bang]

He wasn't out

Poor Mathews.. This is what cricinfo says

53.2
Yasir Shah to Mathews, OUT, Mathews has been given caught at short leg, and reviews immediately, tossed up, drifting in, pitching just outside leg stump, Mathews has to get bat around the front pad with the increased angle, it pops up off the knee roll, has that nicked the inside edge, there is no way to be absolutely certain with only visuals, although there seems to be slight space between as ball passes the bat, and well, well, umpire Illingworth has raised his finger again, a stunned Mathews walks up to have a word with the umpire, and walks away shaking his head, can only be deduced that the on-field decision has been upheld for the lack of sufficient contrary evidence, Mathews can consider himself unlucky here

 

[Logical]

Was there enough evidence to overturn the decision?

Yes. Daylight between bat and pad. Not a howler but given the technology and footage correct decision wasn't made.

 

[m.shah]

Need to get this opener

 

[uberkoen]

Is anyone other than Wahab and Yasir going to get a wicket today?

 

[Executioner]

I think Mathews was undone by the lack of snicko.

Snicko and hotspot are necessary but we SC folks can't afford it

 

[imshally81]

Beauty

 

[walashi]

who was that person giving the autograph?

 

[Logical]

who was that person giving the autograph?

Ehsan Adil i think

 

[KingKhanWC]

Superb effort from Pak in the field so far. Keep going boys

 

[Saeed]

We need to get the remaining 5 wickets in this session.

 

[uberkoen]

We need to get the remaining 5 wickets in this session.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Is anyone other than Wahab and Yasir going to get a wicket today?

Babar looked threatening.

 

[#GreenRoars]

give some rest to Wahab

 

[JibranAnsari]

Only 58 overs left and if we minus the change of innings overs only 56.

Need to get them out in next 15 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[JibranAnsari]

7 overs spell by wahab , he definitely needs some rest. The last thing we need is wahab injured.

 

[Logical]

Great keeping

 

[Red Devil]

Outt! Yasir strikes again!
