[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez if settled(80-90 balls) he must go on to score a century and score big.

ICC should really be paying for the DRS across all series.

I am pretty sure, SL and PCB would have been able to afford it if they had agreed on a 50-50 basis payment.
Disappointing stuff overall.

And +1 to BD's suggestion.

[Bullet Drive]

Herath already on to bowl to Younis.

[Bullet Drive]

Big test for Hafeez, he struggles vs Left arm spin

[imshally81]

spin in action....

[Bullet Drive]

Younis is such an amazing player of spin. Watch him Hafeez.

[NeVerMind]

Well if there was ever a match for Hafeez to lay his claim as the future Pakistan captain, this is it...

[Bullet Drive]

Nice tight line.

[ads101]

No crows ruining the pitch

[NeVerMind]

and his bowling troubles the left hand batsman...the irony...

[g00g1y]

I wonder why these umpires are treated as gods, shouldn't they be fined also for poor performance.

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely driven, no run.

R u Serious ??

[Bullet Drive]

Turned YK around. Spun a lot.

[Bullet Drive]

This will be very tough for Pakistan. These two have to ideally put a 100+ partnership. One of these has to score a big ton!

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over. Maiden.

[NeVerMind]

The sri Lankans even have the crows on thier side. They are seriously digging up the pitch so to slow down any shot we play!

Excellent Point... ICC should have some check n balance against them....

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez on strike. I feel he'll do good today. He needs to convert though.

[JibranAnsari]

Any chances of heavy rain or any rain?

[Bullet Drive]

Kulasekera to Hafeez -

[imshally81]

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is much better when playing shots like that!

[carbon11]

cut away by hafeez

[ads101]

[Bullet Drive]

Very good from the captain. Four and then a single.

[Bullet Drive]

Younis on strike now.

[waqar goraya]

survives

[Bullet Drive]

Younis coming nicely forward to the ball. Good stuff.

[Bullet Drive]

YK middling the ball very well here.(defence)

[ads101]

We need our tuk tuk general here . Perfect situation for him.

[Bullet Drive]

Ball dying to the keeper. Batting will become a lot easier once these two have faced 80-90 balls.

[Bullet Drive]

True but we have Shafiq and who knows what Ayub will be like!

[Bullet Drive]

When Hafeez is aggressive as he is today he usually performs a lot better. Stay like this captain! Impressed so far.

Drinks

[Bullet Drive]

Our tail is very very long.

[Bullet Drive]

Drinks break

Where do you expect the ICC to get the money to pay for the DRS.

[talha3]

Captain needs to make it count. Hoping for a big one. One of these two needs to make a ton if we're to save this match.

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez struggling.

[talha3]

Shukhar hai. Umpires give us one 50-50 decision.

[Indiafan]

So Misbah makes no difference to the team with batting and captaincy, eh?

[waqar goraya]

that was close

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely flicked by Hafeez for 1.

[Space Cat]

Not a bad shout at all.

[talha3]

I fear for Hafeez against Herath. Needs to look to rotate to YK.

[Bullet Drive]

Very good from Younis. 1 run sweep. Younis will score a double ton.

[A.M.]

12 overs left

[Bullet Drive]

12 overs left. We must not lose another.

[Bullet Drive]

Kulasekera into his 7th over.

[Bullet Drive]

1 more to Younis.

[A.M.]

another single to mid on

[Bullet Drive]

[A.M.]

[ads101]

woah what creature is that? Some sort of lizard? Almost looks like a small komodo dragon

[Space Cat]

Crows and big ass lizards.

[Bullet Drive]

15(32) Hafeez.

[A.M.]

lovely pull shot for

[talha3]

Good shot for 4.

[Bullet Drive]

beauty

[ads101]

by Hafeez.

[chacha kashmiri]

hooked for four

[Bullet Drive]

No pace from Kula.

[A.M.]

left alone

[Bullet Drive]

35-2. Hafeez doing real well.

[ads101]

lol at Rameez getting his "duckworth hafeez" comment in again. If it's gold, why not mention it everytime you get the chance .

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely behind that one Hafeez. Good solid stuff.

[talha3]

11 overs to go. Must not lose a wicket.

[leatherface58]

kula is a good bowler when it's new and hard.lol ramiz slipping in innuendo

[Bullet Drive]

Now Hafeez looks well out here. Its imperative he stays there now and goes on big. He's looked well like this before but he gives it away.

he is in good form today. Ramiz I mean

[Bullet Drive]

Risky shot. 2 runs.

[Saurav]

great comeback by Pak in the field.they can still win this

[Bullet Drive]

Ramiz is a good commentator. Makes me laugh a lot. I remember a girl came on screen yesterday and Ramiz said 'now that's a lifter for sure'

Saurav you being sarcastic?

[Bullet Drive]

Rain will end the days play it seems. 45 mins to go though.

[Bullet Drive]

Poor ball should have been dispatched.
