Not in form. Stupid decision TBH. He's miles better than kusal Mendis on any day. 

[Gollum]

Lanka comfortably ahead, best 4th innings batting unit in the world don't forget.

absolutely.

Sri Lanka is turning out to be a brilliant test team. So many gritty players. 

[ganeshran]

Steady start by Pakistan. IF they end the day without losing any wickets, they will be ahead in this match. chasing in the fourth innings isnt going to be easy

[Frustrated]

Poyz hv made decent comeback.  Any target above 250 would be tough to chase while batting last.   As of now it's advantage Poyz.

[Frustrated]

Lankan bowlers have drastically thrown away whatever little advantage their batsmen had gained in the 1st two days.

Get a *ing wicket already you stupid *s.

You can always trust Poyzz to throw it back.

 

It's a matter of when rather if.

Lankan team' performance in tests recently has been as volatile as the stock market.   

They achieved in SA something which no other asian team has ever achieved.  However, they could not beat Toygers at home tests recently and now have surrendered to Poyz, of all .

Yes.

However, the Poyz have already got a lead of around 50 . Even if they collapse now, I dont think they are gonna lose this one.

SL are batting last.

Absolute shite bowling by Lanka.  They should be ashamed of themselves.

[SK_IH]

Lol this looks like repeat of Karachi test 2006. Well played Poyz.

It's just the pitch and what happens in Karachi. Our 2006 test played the same way. Batting first is a tremendous advantage and them pitch becomes a road

Funnily Poyz have to declare now. Let's see how much time they give themselves.

I have not seen this Abid Ali bat. But his record in 1st class and List A seems pretty ordinary. I think he is going through a purple patch which might be halted soon.

 I am not watching the match but Poyz should give themselves 5 sessions at least.

FYI, this "ordinary" guy has scored 20 FC centuries, has been  averaging 57 over last 4 years in FC cricket. His eventual failure is your guess or wish ?
