We don't have to imagine, just have to check out Youtube because it has already happened and Asif was all over them.

 

[Bullet Drive]

'3rd test' is trending on Twitter.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We don't have to imagine, just have to check out Youtube because it has already happened and Asif was all over them.

What a talent. Definitely if he was still around he'd be the best bowler in the world and we'd have had probably the best bowling attack in world cricket.

Asif, Amir, Gul, Ajmal & Rehman.

Fernando is the SL version of Sami..

 

[Bullet Drive]

How nice would it be for us to get Sanga early. Just cannot get through him.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We should start anytime now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The pitch will ease out , 300 -350 is a must in first innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

A little cloudy but no threat of any ran #PAKvsSL

 

[Bullet Drive]

No way we will reach 300.

yes 250 will be a miracle from here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Kula back on

 

[talha3]

Hoping for a solid recovery in this session. Kula's not looking as threatening as he was with the brand new ball.

 

[iHammad]

Fernando on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistani batsmen are the worst against any kind of swing.

 

[talha3]

Bit loose but the intent to attack Fernando is the right one.

 

[talha3]

Cut away. Shafiq on 20.

 

[Looney]

Waaatay shot from Sir Asad Bradman Shafiq

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[ads101]

So annoying our top four couldn't even last 16 overs altogether. Disgraceful. Pitch has got easier to score on now sure enough.

We need to get to 200/4 to just get even with Sri Lanka. Hopefully we won't lose a wicket at least until then.

 

[JibranAnsari]

One of them needs to get a ton to see pakistan in respectable position.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Partnership 37 runs from 109 balls.

Well played Shafiq. Good over.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Opportunity for Asad to make himself a hero and seal the spot in batting line-up for another 10 tests at least.

3,4 are ok but 10

 

[JibranAnsari]

A big fifty or a century will cement asads place for a long time , go asad go.

 

[Looney]

100 up for Pakistan

[Akmal Dynasty]

Back to back good short deliveries on misbah...

 

[talha3]

[waqar goraya]

too much of tuk tuk can even settle down some one like fernando

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Herath flighting the ball now.

[Justcrazy]

They need to carry on here..........

 

[imshally81]

A bit of drizzle in the air now..

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 more will be fine today if we don't lose any wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad needs to play one defining innings to move to next level..........

 

[Akmal Dynasty]
